[edit] History
With Blood Comes Cleansing started in February 2005. After touring, several member changes, and releasing a 6-song EP, With Blood Comes Cleansing signed on with Virginia-based Blood & Ink Records in February 2006.[1] That summer they released their first full-length album, Golgotha. Since then, the band has been touring, and recently moved to a bigger record label, Victory Records, in February 2007. They released their second album, Horror, in January 2008, through Victory Records.
On 10 July 2008, With Blood Comes Cleansing decided to stop touring full time and focus on their personal endeavors. Dean moved to Chicago, IL with his wife Therese but has recently returned to South Georgia. Dennis, Scott and Spence are all living in Albany, GA as well. Michael and Jeremy currently live in Atlanta, GA. The band continues to play shows whenever possible but has no future plans to make a comeback or release any new records. Michael and Dean will be sharing the responsibility of vocalist.
[edit] Lyrics
Christian faith is a common theme in their lyrics. Their lyrical concept, for instance, about their worship to God ("God, you're all I have / Take my everything. / I owe it all to you"), about Jesus ("Now we all can be saved the price for sin is now paid"), seeking help from God ("God, I need your help now"), and, using a common black metal theme in the original Christian context, Golgotha: "This is the place of the skull where terror reigned / A crucifixion of agony and pain." Most of WBCC's lyrics come from Books of the Bible including Mark, Luke, and Revelation.
