ThrashBack Records released this CD collection from SOOTHSAYER titled "We Came For Killing: 1987-1989". I think I'm not the only one to believe that this band had a phenomenal sound, Soothsayer possessed all features of a thrash metal classic. First of all, it sounds amazingly fresh even though after so many years have passed, and I guess that's the most important thing characterizing music in general. It doesn't age. This CD features their 3 demos, tons of amazing riffs enclosed in all tracks. There are some slower parts, but they are used just to make the heavy parts seem even heavier and more brutal. Musically, SOOTHSAYER straddles the line of Speed Metal and Thrash, with the vocals reminiscent of Flotsam and Jetsam and Wrath. "We Came For Killing: 1987-1989" compiles all of the bands studio recordings with tape transfers and remastering from the best available surviving sources, and a new interview with guitarist George Bryan conducted by me. It’s a required purchase for anyone even remotely interested in the genre. So after finish reading this review, borrow or buy this CD !!
