As Blood Runs Black - Destroying What Doesn't Matter

[trippler786]

this was the last good song by abrb........

[DeadSonn]

i heard hes nnow the vocalist for The Browning???!?!!??!?! is this trueee?

[rossapher24]

@DeadSonn no, whered you hear this? i could be wrong though, i really have no clue.

[gyanyam1]

bang your fking head

[mollykittty]

actually, i saw them last night at summer slaughter and they fucking killed it. their singer is hot as fuck too. i think they had the biggest mosh pit too, besides whitechapel.

[John2Jenna]

@mollykittty i like just for the whitechapel comment <3

[screammyself]

great!

[b3zeRk1]

is this chris on vokes ?

[rossapher24]

@b3zeRk1 yah thats chris on vox! In my opinion, he is very underrated. He basically made Abrb what it is too. Being completely honest, i have stopped following ABRB new stuff since they have lost Ernie, sal and chris.

[b3zeRk1]

@rossapher24 yeaaa dude i agreee...mee tooo i only listen to allegiance ...u know why chris left ?

[Skar3Kr0w]

They will never be the same. The singer made this band. This vocalist is good, but ABRB will never be what they were.

[rossapher24]

@Skar3Kr0w this is Chris on vocals. But yes i agree with you, ABRB will NEVER be the same.

I guess we are always ganna have to live with Allegiance.

[jforrer0229]

lol the new singer made them so much worse....

[NavalFluff]

@vKrump I could say the same to you, sir.

[NavalFluff]

This shit it rubbish compared to Allegiance.

[CrazyGuyVision]

FUCK !! This is not on ' Instinct ' 

[LandynCaissie]

GUYS! WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT COLOR BLOOD IS IF ITS NOT EVEN MEANT TO BE TAKEN TO SERIOUSLY!!! GET A LIFE AND QUIT YOUR PUSSY ASS WHINING ABOUT SOMETHING SO POINTLESS AND LISTEN TO THE GODDAMN MUSIC!!!!!!!!! *turns caps lock off*

[momonch]

this song is just a demo..



[Xlife93]

@momonch there demos are pretty fucking good same and before the break of dawn is pretty badass song

[wickeddemonoid]

damn 3 new members..... this is gonna take some time to warm up to em but fuk it they still death metal

[Xlife93]

@wickeddemonoid i seen them live there fucking amazing live the new screamer is god live and hes pretty cool since i meet him

[metallica378]

thats not lech on drums.........I can tell

[Arhkhio]

I think the "black" blood is hardly meant to be taken literally :P

[DarkArchon212]

What a sick song! Such a shame it wasn't included in Instinct...hopefully a future album will contain at least a revamped version

[PutOnYaTryHardPantys]

I like old Abrb better, but this shit is raw as fuck (Y)

[TehKrakerzGuy]

I saw them live a few days ago. What a rushing awesome set they had.

[xMiNdWaRpx]

IMO, this is what their new album should have sounded like. This is so much better.

[smoof7returns]

did they ever add this to Instinct? this was such a badass song

[Kempin38]

welp, i need another towel after listening to this and air force.

[TehKrakerzGuy]

Love their music, but their band name is so stupid and makes no sense. Blood doesn't run black! It runs red, unless it's clotted-up for it to appear darker, but clotted blood doesn't run anywhere.

[carnage101]

@TehKrakerzGuy there's this crazy thing called a metaphor...idk if you've heard of it before...

[TehKrakerzGuy]

@carnage101 Well then, instead of being sarcastic you could maybe help out by explaining their band name. I'm just saying one part of the metaphor for their name is dumb and comes off stupidly.

[Kempin38]

@carnage101 lol fuckin Win

[69kyleman]

@carnage101

eh....wrong literary term.....it's an ironic statement.

a metaphor is a comparison between two items without using like or as. there's no comparison rlly. plus i doubt it was intended to be ironic....i think it's just the most metal thing they could think of.

[carnage101]

@69kyleman nice textbook definition but it is a metaphor. Blood doesn't run black, but metaphorically speaking it can. A metaphor can be a broad thing, its not limited to what your high school English tells you to memorize...

[RyanKaufman]

@carnage101 Hahaha very nice.

[Zimx02]

@carnage101 There's nothing metaphorical about that. You can't just redefine terms as you please.

[carnage101]

@Zimx02 Says who? Words are redefined all the time based on cultural and societal implications. What the fuck do you know about language? Nothing.

[Zimx02]

@carnage101 You must be some kind of moron. There's a difference between words becoming redefined over time due to connotation at a large scale and simply misusing a word and contriving a new definition for it. As of right now, you're doing the former. There's nothing metaphorical about the name, and that is a fact. Try some other type of figurative speech.

It's also to the best your interests to save yourself the ludicrous, embarrassing pseudo-intellectual pretenses.

[carnage101]

@Zimx02 I think you mean I was doing the LATTER, according to your OWN definitions. Not the former. You fucking tool. Don't try to dis me if you don't even know the difference between former and latter. "to the best your interests"...That makes no sense, either. You suck at being a hater, and that is pretty pathetic lol.

[comatone1982]

@TehKrakerzGuy pretty sure its a metaphor for death or a zombie takeover....but thanks for the science lesson on how blood works.

[walnut541]

@TehKrakerzGuy actually oxygen rich blood runs almost black...aint you ever shot a deer???

[AimBot101]

@TehKrakerzGuy

When a lot of blood runs at a time, it does seem to be black. A deep and serious cut will cause enough blood to run that it looks black.

[djjorreborable]

@TehKrakerzGuy the band name aint stupid , you'r freakin theorie is stupid!

[TehKrakerzGuy]

@djjorreborable You can't spell the word "theory" so I wouldn't be making your tough guy remarks. Also keep in mind, I wrote this comment long before I knew what "as blood runs black" meant. That was a while ago, things are different now.

As the French say: les tempes changet (times change).

[djjorreborable]

@TehKrakerzGuy yeah i cant spell it right cus i'm not english , and ur right , times change

[DarayThePoet]

@TehKrakerzGuy actually blood runs blue...its only red once it becomes oxygen rich.

and yes im replying to 11 month only comment cause im a douche x3

[lmfaofailslmfao]

@DarayThePoet Touch me. OHHH LETS GO ALL THE WAY~ OH OH OH OH OH OH.

[alpengeist19]

im pretty sure this isnt on instinct. air force one is, they renamed it "in honor" and with greater heights is "echoes of an era" and they both have new vocals. ive listened to the album preview a ton of times and im pretty sure this isnt on there unless they added a new part and that was the part in the preview. but i doubt it

[metallica378]

is lech drumming in this song.

[kozi666666kozi]

15th, march !

[doni198]

the old shouter was sick!!

the new one is ok;)

but all in all, awesome!

[912joeskee]

new vocalist, different but i like.

[rodreges21]

@carnage101 Is this gonna be on instinct?

[DeronSaysWC]

@rodreges21 hopefully but it is there is a chance the new vocals ruined the song!

[rodreges21]

@DeronSaysWC Oh GAY!!

[TheKingOfMetal]

i think the new singer is way better... just sounds more brutal

[dylasauruswrecks]

oOoOo not brutal enough for some people pft. it sounds fine, its gonna be a good album so chill

[Desecrationss]

the vocalist doesnt suck at all... the old one was just better. 

[ZombiexXxAutopilot]

@Desecrationss Exactly

[xXInTeRvEnTiOnMW2Xx1]

the singer sounds like corey taylor of slipknot lol

[vesares]

@xXInTeRvEnTiOnMW2Xx1 Yeah I have to agree... he does.

[xXInTeRvEnTiOnMW2Xx1]

@vesares ikr hahahaha i love slipknot

[TheDMoney1987]

everyone on here talking about the singer being shitty needs to shut the fuck up, its not released yet, not mastered, and everything sounds second rate because of that, go spend some time in a studio then talk shit

[HedgehogSponge]

@TheDMoney1987 You faggot. How does that mean he isn't a shitty vocalist?! If you have to master your vocals to make them sound good, then you will fail live, which makes you a fail vocalist.

[GnomeEpidemic]

I like the new singer

[MrFarmerJesus]

Everyone who says the vocalist sucks can blow a dick. There is a reason HE is their singer. I don't see any of you up on stage or in the studio doing what he does with them and until then shut your fucking mouth.

Just saying lol

[darklightwarrior]

Wow! Shitty singer!

[Me6adeth01]

badass song ABRB!

[emomarines14]

when is there new album going to come out

[StillflyxGeorge]

i know the drummer

[mafaproductions28]

@StillflyxGeorge good for you :D

[TheTexasTurbine]

This singer can suck my nads.

[LadyWitchProductions]

Down load link PLEASE

[xxbailsx]

All hail deathcore.

[TheAngelsDecay]

@xxbailsx LOL, seems to me like the type of music you listen to is Post-hardcore, Metalcore and Deathcore, so yeah, I can see how you say that, but for the small remainder of us who actually listen to real metal, All Hail Melodic Death Metal.

[modomario]

@TheAngelsDecay why are u saying that on a deathcore vid moron :/

not only he but every1 else who read yur coment listens to deathcore.

So fuck of to yer viking imitators

thx

[VincentStill]

@TheAngelsDecay this isn't melodic death metal....

abrb are kings of deathcore

[TheAngelsDecay]

@VincentStill I know this isn't Melo Death. I was explaining to that retard that this isn't real Metal.

[VincentStill]

@TheAngelsDecay ahh fair enough dude

[TheAngelsDecay]

@VincentStill All in all, I respect you for not being an idiot and saying "NO DUDE UR A TROLL" I respect your taste in music. these guys were pretty badass until this was released.

[ANOTHERLAST666]

THIS IS ALLEGIANCE'S SINGER, STOP SAYING NEW SINGER SUXX OR IS GOOD BECAUSE IT'S THE OLD ONE!! damn this is so easy to ear

[Thuggybcobhc]

Sounds like killswitch engaged

[EpsilonX]

@Thuggybcobhc no it doesnt

[DeronSaysWC]

@Thuggybcobhc Nahh killswitch Engage is more different

[ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

Respond to this video... this is lech right?

[Badjavdzija]

new singer is so good :D dont know why many people say that he sux : )

[xxjustin53xx]

is this song new 2010?

[Penninn]

@xxjustin53xx Yep, but he put it on Youtube in 2008... Think for god sakes..

[desef10]

GO!!

[NYCLabRat]

This song isnt going to be on the new album

[kanakin7000]

the new singer sounds similar to august burns reds

[carnage101]

lol every time I get a comment on this video it's from someone arguing over which genre ABRB are or it's someone going THE NEW SINGER SUX!!111 lol. Just listen and enjoy. If you don't like it, navigate to a different video

[soulxfox]

still raw as fuck.

[tetrico22]

GO!

[slipknot7mt]

@xXDXC420Xx you need to be kicked in the fucking teeth. breakdowns are something known entirely to METAL. As Blood Runs Black personally has a mixed genre, making them unique. CORE is monotone. so bands like Winds of Plague would be deathcore. you dont know what your talking about your just some emo death core loving faggot.

[nodice57420]

this time around u can actually understand the vocalist

[leon612354]

Doesn't even sound like ABRB. but, ill live with it. XD Its not bad though, just not the same.

[TheresAFuckingDuck]

new singer sucks, why didn't abrb took caleb evans as vocalist? he is a beast

[Metabolica1]

They havnt taken anyone yet the position is still open

[TheresAFuckingDuck]

really?

therefore what appened to the singer? maybe he has a cold lol

[Metabolica1]

He was just the one they were looking into and touring with, and they used him to make a vocal demo of Air Force One. He's not listed on their myspace and they took down the vocal demo and put the instrumental back up.

[joshdurdle123]

@TheresAFuckingDuck Why does everyone think this is a different vox!? its Chris Blair, the guy who did vox on allegiance!, yes hes gone now, they had jonny mcbee and now they have Ken Maxwell!

[xgnash]

@TheresAFuckingDuck This isn't the new singer.

[vivatotti10]

sounds like corey taylor

[joshdurdle123]

fuck off!

[vivatotti10]

@joshdurdle123 just tellin it the way it is man

[number5550]

theyve always walked a fine line between deathcore and a melodic metalcore style(vocals excluded)

[Spacecowboyy]

you do realize that deathcore is a fusion of death metal and metalcore right?

[Deathshade420]

Thats true but theres a diffrance between metalcore and melodic metalcore.

[slipknot7mt]

@Spacecowboyy well its a good thing As Blood Runs Black is death metal, dark metal, black metal, as the list goes on. FUCK DEATH CORE EMO PUSSIES

[slipknot7mt]

@Spacecowboyy well its a good thing As Blood Runs Black is death metal, dark metal, black metal, as the list goes on. FUCK DEATH CORE EMO PUSSIES

[MartyrOfMetal]

@slipknot7mt "dark metal"? isnt all extreme metal dark? its not black metal either, their melodeth. why don't you stick to SLIPKNOT, M(f)aggot

[slipknot7mt]

@MartyrOfMetal they have a personal choice of having multiple genres which is another reason why there so unique in their sound and song writing. As Blood Runs Black is a genre alone.

[MartyrOfMetal]

@slipknot7mt but their classified as deathcore/melodic deathmetal

[slipknot7mt]

@MartyrOfMetal their classified as a mix of genres. as in more than two

[MartyrOfMetal]

@slipknot7mt primarily deathcore and melodic death metal though.

[slipknot7mt]

@MartyrOfMetal either way deathcore is still death metal and their way over top of any other "deathcore" band out there. I still stand with them being an individual genre themself. AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK TILL I DIE

[MartyrOfMetal]

I personally wouldn't say that, though this song is the best song I have heard by them.

[slipknot7mt]

@MartyrOfMetal then shut up because their new shit is weak compared to Allegiance. The new vocalist in this song makes it sound more like deathcore considering he fucking sucks compared to Louie

[MartyrOfMetal]

@slipknot7mt Allegiance had better vocals, but it wasn't as heavy as this.

[slipknot7mt]

@MartyrOfMetal thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Allegiance is what made tihs fucking band. and if you dont even like Allegiance shut the fuck up because this band, isnt even the same band anymore. the bassist is the only TRUE member of the band. Leche left, Sal left, Ernie left, fucking LOUIE left. just shut your mouth

[MartyrOfMetal]

Your talking is the dumbest thing I ever heard! I said NOTHING about Allegiance sucking, and I didn't say I didn't like it either. I just said it wasn't as heavy as this.

[thehumanabstract00]

good song. with the new singer they sound less deathcoreish which is very good to me

[joshdurdle123]

This is their vocalist from allegiance, Chris blair, and as for the vocalist who did vocals for Airforce one, Jonny McBee he already left, so there they dont got one right now, and there goin into the studio jan 4th

[rossapher24]

love this song...i think its one of there better ones but it doesnt seem to be that popular for some reason

[carnage101]

well it hasn't been officially released

[slipknot7mt]

@rossapher24 its not totally the original band. new vocalist and new guitarist

[DeronSaysWC]

@rossapher24 Dude i'm not gonna lie to you but this song is so damn awesome the new singer sucks if he doesn't put this song in Instinct!!!

[XxXPolskiXxX]

This doesnt sound anything like KSE... And Im a huge KSE fan. I fucking love this song btw. ABRB for life. =D

[shariotoflove]

some of the heavy parts does remind me of the heavy parts from kse. like the riff that kicks in around 0:59 does sound like something kse would do...imo. but they arnt the same

[Ritz190]

maybe the old KsE....

[Rjasper499]

More growls and shit would be nice. I'm an ABRB fan forever, but they need to stick with the Allegiance sounding music. Still love em, but definitely not my favorite.

[refuseresist911]

everyone who doesnt like this is close minded. this is tight as fuck. just not as "deathcoreish" sorry there making music that takes a brain now

[joshfulgencio]

still brutal, but allegiance was bad ass. I want their new stuff to come out already :(

[Juiceman81092]

yeah. I liked allegiance better. I miss all the badass breakdowns and the hardcore double pedal shit.

[GMR5]

this is not new vox

it's the same old vocalist, go to their myspace..they only have one album out.

[refuseresist911]

i like the new vox...

[Ratthamahata]

This vocals sounds like Corey Taylor :|

I like it!

its not bad

[Shyuum]

@Ratthamahata

This actually sounds like Unearth something close to it

ABRB lost their "Dethcore" style

[HeyManMyNameIsRoss]

u muppet corey taylor's vocals are shit the old ABRB vocals were amazing

[butterflygrrrl83]

these vox dont sound like howard from KSE AT ALL!!

[avengedmindless]

fuck it sounds like kse def not a fan anymore

[metalheadmiles]

wow. new vocs sound terrible

[chavinitup123]

Read the date kids. This is the same vocalist from the allegiance album, who LEFT!

The new vocalist hasn't been chosen yet. As soon as they choose him they can finish up the new album...which is finished, apart from the vocals.

[xxjustin53xx]

vocs sound like that howard retard from KSE

[123Ohmg]

oh god.

this just ruined abrb for me

imma stick to listening to alligence,

their old shit is just so much better

[CroatianNSensationN]

holy shit plz don't tell me this is real. those vox are sooo fucking terrible. shoulda got that black guy

[jakpot1993]

omg... old vocs were better i think..... were are the brutal screams??? and the fucking great growls..... now it sunds like "Parkwaydrive" + "Carnifex"

[DRA60NF1R3]

it sounds like ABRB.

[RJtheAmazin]

Vocs remind me of Johnny Plague :]

well.... not his new stuff...

[Snakeskinsaddle]

I like the vocals alot... They Work Well...

[Snakeskinsaddle]

Personally, i like the vocals... \m/, make this band sound heavier!!!

[timbarooski]

anyone tab this out? [:

[TonyB5051]

they should have upon a burning body singer, thats my hometown band, Danny is fuckin great :)

[shandreez]

vocals suck X_X

[dantheacousticman]

vox sounds liek a worse version of trivium, thats baaaad

[srcannibalism]

Terrible new vocalist... [2]

the sound is very metalcore now

[Nootrak2589]

Terrible new vocalist...

D:

[LightWarrior888]

Of course though, you dunno if they'll get a new singer before the release. I mean, this was just when they HAD this singer D:.

I still love the song. And, the vocalist to me is just as good :(

[MetaLcoReFav]

Tihs is their pre production demo

[phillipKILLZZ]

on there myspace it says in the lab, and they said they start recording in spring and will release it in summer.

Its gonna be good

[Maxfull49]

Yea, ABRB isn't the same without the old vocals, definitely a downgrade from Allegiance, no doubt about it, but they're still a good band.

[asthetempleburns13]

The vocalist they had when they toured with Bleeding Through and Acacia Strain was AMAZING.

[morpheus2064]

he was pretty good but it was funny he BUSTED HIS ASS in richmond in the middle of hester prynne

[asthetempleburns13]

Was it the same dude?

Because the vocalist they used during the declaration tour was the vocalist of Upon A Burning Body, a TX local band.

[mikefinnmyrers]

ah it doesnt seem as good as alegeince

[RahRy444]

Too bad Chris and Sal are gone... =(

[breakfastburritoman]

woah. i cannot wait to buy the whole song.

1874653 / 5

[yankedup]

sounds like LOG. so in other words, AWESOME!!!

[NoMooreMercy]

This is absolutely amazing compared to Allegiance, WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!

An improvement? Hell no, it's a downgrade. I mean it's ok, but the guitars aren't that good, and the vocals aren't as heavy. That's what made ABRB to me.
