The Cleansing is the debut studio album by American deathcore band Suicide Silence. The album was released on September 18, 2007 through Century Media Records. Upon its release it debuted at #94 on the Billboard Top 200, selling 7,250 copies within the first week, and became one of the best-selling debut albums in Century Media's history.
The album is noted for its unique engineered style, as it was tracked live in-studio as opposed to being recorded track-by-track. Music journalist T Coles said the album "sounds like getting beaten up whilst soaking in bleach". The Cleansing was recorded at King Size Soundlabs in Los Angeles with engineer John Travis and was produced and mixed by Danish producer Tue Madsen.
