From Uprising (2013). Uprising is the third studio album by Scottish metalcore band Bleed from Within, released on 25 March 2013 by Century Media. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Bleed From Within's other songs from Uprising, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "It Lives in Me" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "It Lives in Me" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
