They were formed in 2002 and broke up in 2007.
== History == The band hails from Sacramento and was formed by Samuel Mcleod, Shaun Gier, Jeff Morgan, and Jacob Peete in mid-2002,<ref name=allmbio>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/with-passion-mn0000115323/biography|title=With Passion - Biography|publisher=AllMusic|author=Mark Deming|accessdate=December 11, 2013}}</ref> but did not acquire a permanent bassist until 2003 with Michael Nordeen. Jeff Morgan later left the band and was replaced by Andrew Burt. Keyboardist Brandon Guadagnolo joined the band later on, and with this line-up the band released an EP, ''In the Midst of Bloodied Soil''.<ref name=allmbio />
Jacob Pete, Andy Burt, Sam Mcleod and Brandon Guadagnolo left the band in the summer of 2005, and drummer Greg Donnelly and guitarist John Abernathy, both from Conducting from the Grave, joined in 2006. At this moment, the line-up consisted of no fewer than four former Conducting from the Grave members, the only exception being bassist Michael Nordeen. Later that year, vocalist Shaun Gier left the band and was replaced by Fidel Campos, just in time for the recording of their debut album.<ref name=allmbio />
The band released their debut album, ''In the Midst of Bloodied Soil'', in 2005, with the same title as their EP, through Earache Records—the songs are the same as on the EP, with two additional tracks.<ref name="In the Midst">{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/cdreviews/in-the-midst-of-bloodied-soil/|title=CD Reviews – In the Midst of Bloodied Soil – Blabbermouth.net|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|author=Scott Alisoglu |date=April 2005 |accessdate=December 13, 2013}}</ref><ref name="Exclaim">{{cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/with_passion-in_midst_of_bloodied_soil|title=With Passion – In the Midst of a Bloodied Soil • Metal Reviews • exclaim.ca|publisher=Exclaim.ca|author=Greg Pratt |accessdate=December 13, 2013}}</ref>
The band's second album, ''What We See When We Shut Our Eyes'', was released in early 2007 on Earache,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/cdreviews/what-we-see-when-we-shut-our-eyes|title=CD Reviews – What We See When We Shut Our Eyes With Passion – Blabbermouth.net|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|author=Scott Alisoglu |date=April 16, 2007 |accessdate=December 13, 2013}}</ref> but the band broke up soon thereafter. Since then, Conducting from the Grave has reformed.
