From They're Only Chasing Safety (2004). They're Only Chasing Safety is the fourth studio album by American rock band Underoath. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Underoath's other songs from They're Only Chasing Safety, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
