SOILWORK To Release 'Best-Of' Collection In Japan

June 9, 2010

Swedish metallers SOILWORK will release a "best-of" collection entitled "The Sledgehammer Files" on June 30 in Japan via Marquee/Avalon Records.

Commented the band: "We're proud and stoked to unleash the first-ever official collection of classic SOILWORK tunes!

"The only way we could imagine our 'best-of' album was as a complete chronological retrospective, and that's exactly what 'The Sledgehammer Files' is, from the raw-and-relentless 'Steelbath Suicide' days to the modern majesty of 'Sworn To A Great Divide'. We made sure to include the lyrics and cover art for each album, rare promo and live shots from each era, and a bonus DVD with most our official videos. Topped off with remastered songs from the first two albums and a new mix of 'Exile', this package is 100% SOILWORK!"
