ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Christian metalcore is making its return to the city of St. Clairsville for the first time in over a decade.

Cleansing of the Temple is a five-piece metalcore act based out of Clemson, South Carolina. Formed in 2019, the band is committed to delivering a faith-centric message through aggressive music.

They are for fans of bands such as Impending Doom, Strangled, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Spite and The Acacia Strain.
