As Blood Runs Black is an American deathcore band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2004. They are currently signed to Mediaskare Records and their debut album 'Allegiance' achieved considerable success making the band a well-known act. Their influences range from melodic death metal to hardcore. During 2007's The Summer Slaughter Tour, drummer Leche was kicked out the band due to personal differences with the other members. He has been replaced with Ryan Thomas, formerly of the band The Serpent Son. This event led to some serious online bashing from fans, as Leche was their only remaining "original" member (claiming he recruited the other members of the 'Allegiance' lineup with an almost complete album material), and as 'Allegiance', along the guitar work, was most noted by Leche's unique and extremely technical drumming.
They are currently writing material for their second album, which is expected to be recorded and released sometime in the spring or summer of 2008.

Current members:
* Chris Blair - Vocals
* Ernesto Flores - Guitar
