The Cleansing: the original album and the later edition
Century Media identifies The Cleansing as Suicide Silence’s debut album from 2007 and places the band in Riverside, California. Its official album page names tracks including “Unanswered”, “The Price of Beauty”, “No Pity for a Coward” and “Bludgeoned to Death”. [1]
The official Ultimate Edition is dated 24 June 2022. Its expanded sequence includes live recordings from Paris and instrumental rehearsal tapes. That date belongs to the expanded edition, rather than the original 2007 album. [1]
