The bonus track is called Destruction Of A Statue. The song name is shown on the left side of the back of the cd, circled and crossed out, and upside down, though it doesn't tell you this is what it is on the track listing.

Heavy. That's the first and last word that comes to mind whilst listening to this album. They are just mind-blowingly heavy. Whether it's Mitch Lucker's frenzied, gruff vocals, the grinding pound of Chris Garza and Mark Heylmun on guitars, the thumping bass of Mike Bodkins or the stunning drumwork of Alex Lopez, this is a band whose brand of furied deathcore has propelled them fame, leaving this album with the highest ever chart position for a Century Media artist.
The intro, Revelations, sets the pace quickly with the getting gradually louder, with mutterings layered beneath scream-like noises and panting. It builds to a black-hole of a crescendo, the cymbals, guitars and bass beginning to surface. The first real track, Unanswered, immediately shows you exactly what they are capable of. The extreme heaviness of the guitars is second to none and the agonised howl of Mitch Lucker truly tells you just what this band are about. Unlike other Deathcore bands, Suicide Silence don't just write lyrics about maiming people or wild, feral necrophilia. This is a band that sees the world in a way that more and more of us ought to. Inspired by the nature of people and the way that we destroy our planet, the album is named "The Cleansing" - cleanse the people from Earth and it might just be a better place.
Gloominess aside, this is not an album to be missed. The audio destruction continues through Hands of a Killer, progressing into my favourite track on the album - The Price of Beauty. A truly awe-inspiring track, with a massive breakdown toward the end, phenomenal speed in parts and a drum-track which easily compares to those of SlipKnot's acclaimed Joey Jordinson.
Without a doubt, this band should be at the top of your list of "Ones to Watch". Whether the inspriational calm at the end of Green Monster, filled with the savage cries of human suffering, or the grinding fury of tracks such as Eyes Sown Shut, Destruction of a Statue, or In A Photograph, they just have to be heard. They even use pinch harmonics to a new degree of heavy. The track Girl in a Photograph helps to further the almost flawless guitar-work of Garza and Heylmun and shows that band just kow how to write song after song of pure, deathcore genius.
