Though I think it's pretty inept of you not to be able to go scouring the internet for new bands, I will give some pointers nonetheless. Even if metalcore is a genre chock full of really boring and unoriginal bands.
Generally I'm more into real emo (screamo), hardcore and post-hardcore stuff, but I listen to some metalcore at times, too. Here is some nicely abrasive music to stuff your ears with:
Converge is definitely the most essential and influential of those bands. Super chaotic and dark without the use of cheesy synths or anything.
Misery Signals are really good, check out their "Of Malice and the Magnum Heart" album.
From Autumn to Ashes' "Too Bad You're Beautiful" album. (Their new stuff is way too slick MTV-emo for my tastes).
Still Remains are also very good, and manage to incorporate a little bit of singing in a way that's not too over-the-top with the emo harmonies.
And Lackluster, the correct spelling of that name you were uncertain about is The Black Dahlia Murder, referring to the brutal killing of a famous Hollywood transvestite in the 30's or early 40's, I think. There's even a book about it, which is supposedly quite good, if you're into 'true crime' stuff. The band is not too bad either.
Ok, that's basically what I can think of right now. Hit me up if you ever get into real hardcore or emo, though, because that's more in my area of expertise.
