With Passion was a Sacramento, California-based American band specializing in extreme metal, active between 2002 and 2007.

History

The group was established in 2002 by Samuel Mcleod, Shaun Gier, Jeff Morgan, and Jacob Peete, with bassist Michael Nordeen joining the lineup in 2003. Following several personnel shifts—including Jeff Morgan being succeeded by Andrew Burt and the addition of keyboardist Brandon Guadagnolo—the band released the EP In the Midst of Bloodied Soil.

In 2005, departures included Jacob Peete, Andy Burt, Sam Mcleod, and Brandon Guadagnolo. The following year, drummer Greg Donnelly and guitarist John Abernathy from Conducting from the Grave became members, resulting in four former Conducting from the Grave musicians performing alongside bassist Nordeen in With Passion. Vocalist Shaun Gier exited the band prior to their debut album's recording and was replaced by Fidel Campos.

Their first full-length album, In the Midst of Bloodied Soil (2005), issued through Earache Records, combined tracks from their earlier EP with two additional songs.

The band's sophomore release, What We See When We Shut Our Eyes, arrived in early 2007 via Earache Records. Shortly after this release, With Passion dissolved. Subsequently, Conducting from the Grave reassembled.
