Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.227.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:53, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''Prayer for Cleansing''' is an American [[metalcore]] band from [[Raleigh, North Carolina]]. The band is noted for their extreme metal ([[Death metal|death]]/[[black metal]]) influence that was a little more prominent in their music than other metalcore bands at the time. They are also notable for being an early musical starting point for three members of [[Between the Buried and Me]] (Paul Waggoner, Will Goodyear and Tommy Giles Rogers) who played in the band.

== Biography ==
The band, consisting of David Anthem (vocals), [[Paul Waggoner]] (guitar), Dennis Lamb (guitar), Will Goodyear (drums) and Marc Duncan (bass) formed in 1996, going through numerous member changes up until 1997.  In 1999 they signed to [[Tribunal Records]], releasing their first and by far most popular album, ''[[Rain in Endless Fall]]''. Shortly before the album was released, Dennis Lamb left the band, being replaced by James Chang of Undying, and later [[Tommy Giles Rogers Jr.|Tommy Rogers]].  In 2000 the band broke up after an automobile accident which totaled their new touring van. The band performed two reunion shows, the first being on March 13, 2004, at the [[Tremont Music Hall]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]] in front of nearly one thousand fans from as far away as [[Mexico]].  The second show was at the 2004 [[Hellfest (American music festival)|Hellfest]] music festival, held in [[Elizabeth, New Jersey]].

Prayer for Cleansing's music continued to grab attention however. 2003 saw a re-mixed and re-mastered version of ''The Rain in Endless Fall'' released on Tribunal Records, including new artwork. In 2004, Prayer for Cleansing's second album, ''The Tragedy'', was released as a joint label CD/7" by Southern Empire Records, Surprise Attack Records and War Torn Records. ''The Tragedy'' featured re-recordings of three songs previously unavailable on an official release (though all three had been widely available in mp3 form), including their popular cover of [[The Cranberries]] song "Salvation".  In 2004, straight edge distributor [[Seventh Dagger Records]] released ''The Rain in Endless Fall'' on vinyl. The band remains inactive since then. Lead guitarist [[Paul Waggoner]] later said in a 2009 interview: "I guess that band had sorta run its course. Some of the guys were in school and we didn't really see it going anywhere.  At the same time we also wanted to start something different and try to push ourselves a little more musically. I wouldn't say we were bored with what we were doing, but that was around the time when [[metalcore]] was starting to sorta take off and bands were kinda coming out of the woodwork. We no longer felt like we were doing something different or creative."

=== Later projects ===
Tommy Rogers, Paul Waggoner, Marc Duncan and Will Goodyear went on to play in the Raleigh, North Carolina [[progressive metal]] band [[Between the Buried and Me]] (Marc Duncan left before the band recorded anything and Will Goodyear left after their first album).  Tommy Rogers and Paul Waggoner were both members of Undying, playing drums and guitar, respectively. Tommy Rogers was also the singer for Tribunal Records label mates From Here On. Dennis Lamb went on to play guitar for Azazel, also a Tribunal Records band (with future Between the Buried and Me members Jason King and Nick Fletcher) and has recorded with the Austrian band Der Blutharsch. David Anthem now runs a [[vegan]] coffee shop in Philadelphia, The Grindcore House.

=== Reunion shows ===
The band has announced they are playing a one-off benefit show featuring their ''Rain in Endless Fall'' lineup on December 18, 2022 in memory of John Rivera and to benefit his family. One of the other bands reforming for the concert is Undying, one of ex-rhythm guitarists James Chang and Tommy Rogers' former bands.<ref name=iw1>((cite news |title=Undying, Prayer For Cleansing, & more to play benefit show |url=https://lambgoat.com/news/36837/undying-prayer-for-cleansing-more-to-play-benefit-show/ |publisher=lambgoat.com |date=August 20, 2022 |accessdate=August 22, 2022 |archive-date=August 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220821000427/https://lambgoat.com/news/36837/undying-prayer-for-cleansing-more-to-play-benefit-show/ |url-status=live ))</ref> The band will also have a remaster of the original mix of their album reissued on vinyl by [[To Live A Lie]] Records in late 2022/early 2023.<ref name=iw2>((cite web |title=Prayer For Cleansing - The Rain In Endless Fall LP (2022 Remaster) |url=https://tolivealie.com/releases/tlal237.html |publisher=[[To Live A Lie]] |accessdate=August 22, 2022 |archive-date=August 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220822211205/https://tolivealie.com/releases/tlal237.html |url-status=live ))</ref> The band also played the annual This Is Hardcore festival at the Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 6, 2023.<ref name=ieq>((cite web |title=This Is Hardcore 2023 coming up: BANE, GORILLA BISCUITS, PRAYER FOR CLEANSING, UNDYING and more!
