With Blood Comes Cleansing (formerly Betrayed With a Kiss) are a Christian deathcore band from Albany, Georgia.
History
The band signed on with Virginia-based Blood & Ink Records after releasing a 6-song EP in January 2006. That summer already 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, lead vocalist Dean Atkinson and bassist Dennis Frazier announced that they were leaving the band on good terms. Though they stopped touring for the while, rumors that the band has broken up were denied[1]. Atkinson has rejoined his old Christian blackened death metal band When Tomorrow Doesn't Come, and Frazier will be working at a recording studio in Albany, Georgia.
Lyrics
Christianity is a common theme in their lyrics. They sing, for instance, about their admiration of 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.
