about
South Carolina’s Cleansing of the Temple have been recording since at least as early as 2020. The band fuses traditional metalcore with the occasional nod to deathcore and even some slowed-down sludgy tempos from time to time. Their debit, The Devil Knows My Name, was released in the summer of 2024 and features production work from Glenn Gizzi (best known for his work with Phinehas). Although a new band, Cleansing of the Temple show real promise on their debut. Musicianship and technical prowess are noticeable, as well as passionate fervor. Lyrics are strong, and boldly evangelistic. In fact, the band throw punches in a number of directions, unabashedly. They’re at their most exciting when they’re not afraid to experiment—with tempos, guitar tones, vocal styles, and so forth. And that is the most promising aspect of their sound. The world does not need another cookie-cutter metalcore/deathcore band. And Cleansing of the Temple are headed in a good direction to avoid getting lost in that scene.
