Cleansing is the fourth album by the American heavy metal band Prong, released on January 25, 1994, by Epic Records.
The album features ex-Killing Joke members Paul Raven on bass guitar and John Bechdel on keyboards and programming.
[5] Prong's vocalist and guitarist Tommy Victor has stated that the record was largely written in the bathroom of his Williamsburg apartment on an acoustic guitar at night.
Erlewine further noted that the new elements "heightens the tension" but also "strengthens their already muscular metallic roar.
[7] Jason Roche of The Village Voice included Cleansing on his list of Top 20 New York Hardcore and Metals Albums, saying that it "proved to be as catchy as it was heavy".
