With Blood Comes Cleansing is a Christian deathcore band originating from Albany, Georgia, United States.
History
Established in February 2005, With Blood Comes Cleansing initially released a six-track EP prior to signing with the Virginia-based label Blood & Ink Records in February 2006. Their debut full-length album, Golgotha, was issued that summer. After undergoing several lineup adjustments and completing extensive tours, the group secured a contract with Victory Records in February 2007 and subsequently launched their second studio album, Horror, in January 2008.
The band ended their full-time touring schedule on July 10, 2008, to dedicate time to individual endeavors. Although members dispersed to different locations, they continued to perform sporadically without intentions of producing new material. Vocal responsibilities were shared between Michael and Dean.
In November 2022, With Blood Comes Cleansing revealed plans for a reunion in 2023, this time without Dean Atkinson. They pressed a limited run of 300 vinyl copies of Golgotha through Secret Swarm Records, which sold out within two minutes. The band is slated to appear at Furnace Fest 2023.
On February 4, 2024, Michael Sasser departed once more and was succeeded by Robert Manzone as the vocalist.
On January 10, 2025, the band announced their self-titled third album scheduled for release on February 14, marking their first new studio effort in seventeen years.
