SOOTHSAYER: 'Have A Good Time' LP To Be Reissued

March 27, 2008

New Renaissance Records has set a May 15 release date for the reissue of the 1989 debut album from reactivated Canadian thrashers SOOTHSAYER. Entitled "Have A Good Time", the LP was originally made available in North America on Colossal Records and in Europe on New Renaissance Records.

SOOTHSAYER's November 3, 2007 performance at the Trois-Rivires Metalfest and the October 13, 2007 concert in Quebec City were filmed for an upcoming DVD that will also contain footage from SOOTHSAYER's early days, including interview material. The DVD will be released later this year on Galy Records.

SOOTHSAYER last year released a CD containing the group's classic 1986 demo "To Be A Real Terrorist" along with a 1987 live concert recorded at Le Spectrum in Montreal, Canada all remastered in 2007. Available on Galy Records, the CD comes will a six-page, full color booklet with rare pictures, flyers and liner notes from Rob Urbinati (SACRIFICE),Brian Lehfeldt (WEHRMACHT),James Plotkin and more.

Occasional BLABBERMOUTH.NET CD reviewer Don "Fang" Kaye once wrote in Kerrang! magazine that SOOTHSAYER has "obviously been to the SLAYER school of music, with side courses in VOIVOD and SACRIFICE."

SOOTHSAYER reunited for the first time in 17 years for an exclusive appearance at "1982 - 2007: 25 ans de Mtal Qubcois", a three-day festival celebrating 25 years of Quebec metal, which took place from August 31 to September 2, 2007 at Club Soda in Montreal. A total of 12 bands performed at the event, with eight among them reuniting specifically for the festival.

A three-minute video interview with vocalist Stephan Whitton of SOOTHSAYER can be viewed below.
