From When I Am God (2007). When I Am God is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Oh, Sleeper, released on 23 October 2007 by Solid State Records. The album's personnel list credits Shane Blay on lead guitar and James Erwin on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD MH-1000 through a Peavey 6505+, the nearest rig we use for Oh, Sleeper's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
