Steelbath Suicide is the 1998 debut full-length studio album from the melodic death metal band Soilwork. The original release has two Japanese bonus tracks, "Disintegrated Skies" and "Burn," a Deep Purple cover. [1] Century Media re-released the album in 2000 with different cover art and a live track of "Sadistic Lullabye."

This album is a firm example of the band's immediate roots in Swedish death metal. Vocalist "Speed" Strid screams throughout, displaying almost no sense of melody. The song "Demon in Veins", is a revised version of "Wake Up Call" off their demo; the lyrics changed are in the chorus.
