From This Is Love, This Is Murderous (2003). This Is Love, This Is Murderous is the third studio album by American metalcore band Bleeding Through, released on 23 September 2003 by Trustkill Records. The album's personnel list credits Brandan Schieppati, Scott Danough and Brian Leppke with guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Bleeding Through's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
