The site will be updated in near future with a new design which hopefully also improves security.

So… to clarify:

The album will be available in stores on June 9. That is the official release date.

But pre-orders will ship 1 month prior to the release date, that is May 4. And that’s why you should head over to www.deepsend.com and place your pre-order now!

On a sidenote, a lot of people have shown their support since last update and we want to thank you for that! It’s great to see such interest and we hope to meet your expectations.

Finally… our precious debut album “Poisoned Legacy” is up for pre-order now!
Visit www.deepsend.com

The official release date is 4th of May 2009, but pre-orders will most likely ship sooner. Pre-orders will include a limited edition pin.
And there’s more… as promised we now have yet another track from the album up on our myspace… ENJOY!!

The album cover can be seen here:

Anyway, Andreas have been so kind to answer a couple of questions on behalf of The Cleansing as part of a “Danish Invasion” theme by SCRATCHtheSurface webzine.
Check out the interview at their website here:

Be sure to check out the rest of the theme with Hatesphere, Konkhra, Submission, Dawn of Demise, Crocell and Sickseed.

Cheers!

We have finally decided on a label and we are happy to tell you that Poisoned Legacy will be released on US label Deepsend Records in early 2009.

As some of you might know they are already working with fellow Danish death metal act, Dawn of Demise. As soon as we have an exact release date we will let you know! We are looking forward to work with Deepsend.

We are still working on cover, we are finally getting there – it’s gonna be sick!

And don’t worry – a new track from the album will be up on our myspace very soon as promised!

Here is the official press release from Deepsend Records:

THE CLEANSING hail from Copenhagen, Denmark and pummel the listener with their aggressive brand of Danish death metal. Take the polished death metal assault of Immolation and add in the punishing groove of fellow Danes (and label mates) Dawn of Demise and that only cracks the surface of the true force of “Poisoned Legacy”, the band’s debut album. Performed with an almost surgical precision and a clear yet intense production courtesy of Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Dawn of Demise, Volbeat), The Cleansing have forged an album of highest quality destined to be a favorite of fans of Morbid Angel, Immolation, Dawn of Demise, or Vader.

Formed in 2007 after the demise of Usipian, members Andreas, Jeppe and Toke added drum master Morten Lowe of The Arcane Order (Metal Blade), Submission (Listenable) and known for his session work with Soilwork (Century Media) and Scarve (Listenable). Also, within their ranks is bassist Martin Rosendahl of Corpus Mortale (Willowtip) and was previously a member of Danish legends Iniquity. Martin also provides all of the vocals on “Poisoned Legacy”, so expect a sonic firestorm with a groove-ladened crunch that will terminate all in its path.

Unfortunately Toke is not able to re-record the vocals for Poisoned Legacy as we hoped. For some time now he has been having problems with his voice and is therefore in no condition to record an entire album. That means the album will remain with Martin behind the microphone.

Hopefully Toke will be back in shape to play some live shows in the very near future – and of course to record the next The Cleansing album!

Right now we are working on the artwork for Poisoned Leagcy which we of course will reveal for you as soon as it is finished.

We REALLY hope we can give you a release date very soon – so be patient!

Also, we are going to add at least one more song from the album here at our myspace within the next few weeks.

Well, guess that’s it for now….STAY METAL!

Hey everybody!

Time for some cleansing news! The forthcoming debut album from The Cleansing will be called “Poisoned Legacy“.

As we speak a lot of stuff are going on in the band – first of all, Toke is about to start re-recording the vocals for the album and second of all dialogs with record labels interested in The Cleansing have begun.

When we know more, such as record label and release date you will be the first to know (well, almost…!)

That is all for now – take care!

/Andreas

Toke was taken in custody by the police during vocal recording sessions in march, only a few weeks before mixing was planned. In search of a fast and equal solution for everyone all vocal was recorded by Martin Rosendahl. Toke had recorded three songs but wasn’t all satisfied, so we chose to use Martins vocal on those three tracks also.

Less than two weeks ago Toke was presented to a judge and was – against our expectations – released to serve his sentence later.

Therefore Toke is now rehearsing to get back in shape to (if possible) re-record the vocal tracks.
This will not delay the album!
If Toke is called in to serve before recordings are finished, or if a deadline is closing in, the album will remain with Martins vocal.

In the matter of personal interest Toke has great regrets about him not singing on the album and being taken in custody at such a critical time, he’ll do his best to get his vocal on the album.

We still haven’t decided on an album title, so far it’s still “Advance 2008“. It’ll do for now.

But head over to our myspace site or our last.fm site and check out the 2 songs “Architectural Infinity” and “Insects In The Void“.

p.s. last.fm is a little weird, please go into “albums” or use the link in this post to listen to the tracks.

Hey there!

Thought it was about time for yet another update! The album is now (finally!) complete! Jacob Hansen did a great job mixing and mastering the songs, and it sounds absolutely killer! Really tight, clean and yet very brutal!

As we speak we are in the process of making a promo version of the album that will be for promotional use only. When a label and a release date is confirmed, we will of course let you know!

Two complete songs from the album will be up here at our myspace site within the near future replacing the two demo songs. So now you have something to look forward to!

Here are the complete track list for the album:

1. Architechtural Infinity
2. Flesh Recycled
3. Ghost Lights
4. Insects in the Void
5. Harnessed by the Shadows
6. The Prodigal Son
7. Deliverance
8. The Domino of Phantom Effects
9. Derelict
10. Awoken at Gunpoint

More important news will follow soon…(!)
