As previously reported, Listenable Records is re-releasing SOILWORK's early works Steelbath Suicide and The Chainheart Machine. Both albums have been digitally remastered and feature a new layout and two live bonus tracks apiece.

Following is the official press release:

"Steelbath Suicide and The Chainheart Machine are both albums that helped to shape the melodic death/thrash scene as it is today . Since both albums have been out of print for quite some time, the demand to see a re-issue for these from the fans has only grown and become overwhelming. It was time to re-release both albums as best as possible, with a complete artwork facelift, , a completely new design and everything remastered with some authentic bonus live recordings from that era.

Demonstrating the volatile nature and aggression the band had in those days, those albums were also the stepping stones for SOILWORK and there was a reason why there was such a buzz around the band, paving its path for where they are now. Few bands have mixed the aggressiveness of metal with genuinely catchy choruses to such impressive results. SOILWORK are a masterful incarnation, taking modern metal to the next level and thus generating a whole new genre of prolific music. Even the legendary metal god Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST) named them a band to watch for in the new millennium!

Time for you all to take a trip back down memory lane and find out what started their cataclysmic career!"
