This Is Love, This Is Murderous is the third studio album by American metalcore band Bleeding Through released in 2003. It is their Trustkill Records debut. It has sold more than 125,000 copies since its release.
Audio clips in the beginnings of "Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire" and "Revenge I Seek" were taken from the cult movie The Boondock Saints.
Music videos were made for the songs "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" and "On Wings of Lead". "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" is also available in a censored form on the collection (this is the same edit as the video version). The song "Shadow Walker" is a re-recorded version of a song from the band's debut album Dust to Ashes.
On August 16, 2023, the band released a re-recorded version of "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" to commemorate the album's 20th anniversary. During the same recording sessions, the band also re-recorded the songs "On Wings of Lead" and "Number Seven with a Bullet".[2] The re-recorded version of "On Wings of Lead" was released later that year on November 24.[3]
The album was re-released on January 25, 2005, in a limited-edition double-disc format. It includes special O-Card packaging and the following extras on the second disc:
