As Blood Runs Black is an American deathcore band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2004 by original members Bijon Roybal, Richard Reyes, Louie Ruvalcaba, Kyle Hasenstaab, and Leche. They are currently signed to Mediaskare Records and their debut album Allegiance achieved considerable success making the band a well-known metal act. Their influences range from melodic death metal to metalcore. During 2007's The Summer Slaughter Tour, drummer Leche, who now manages the band Phallen Phallice and is a replacement drummer for Through the Eyes of the Dead, was kicked out of the band due to personal differences with the other members. So they had Ryan Thomas, formerly of the band The Serpants Son fill in as the drummer. Ryan left for Scotland after a couple tours and now Scott Walker mans their drums for them. They recently finished the ButtaliciousTour 2007 along with Beneath The Massacre, Animosity, and The Faceless. They are recently finishing the Farewell to Allegiance tour along with Walls of The Dead and Born of Gay Descent. They are currently on the "Anal after Mass" National Tour with Winds of Plague and Stick To Your Guns.
