Angry Fuckin Vampires, oh yeah. They're a second founding chapter and as such are fuck old. They were originally a crusading chapter like the Black Templars, but decided to set up their fortress on Catachan2 Electric Boogaloo, otherwise known as Cretacia. They came to this decision after their scout company was eaten by bugs. More hardcore in general than the Blood Angels, since they've all got a bad case of Geneseed AIDS, probably from drinking a thousand gallons of blood from Slaanesh followers every week or trying too hard to be cool, that results in a higher number of marines getting the Black Rage than other chapters. Due to insanity and since rushing at everyone without rhinos (Or deepstriking an entire company of rhinos, predators, and assault marines onto a planet to run straight over/through a living wall of tyranids) is decidedly pants on head retarded, they've only got around 400 Spess Mareens to call on (thus they have only about four mixedd companies they deploy mainly as demi-companies known as Vanguard Strike Forces ) and most all of those are bugshit nuts. You might suppose that this situation would make them wax emo like the Blood Angels sometimes do, but they cope by rushing at heretics and drinking their blood after they're done chainfist fucking them.

The only wangsty member is the Chapter Master Seth, who wants his chapter to be the good guys which is unfortunately difficult when the Black Rage drives them insane all the time and leaves them (Seth included) perpetually angry, but even he usually just shrugs and slaughters a few thousand civilians to make himself feel better, for the Emprah of course. This pissed off the Space Wolves and Salamanders quite a bit due to their fanatical devotion to defending the helpless of the Imperium. However Seth told Logan and Vulkan to piss off when they confronted him about it. Their battle cry is described as an inarticulate scream that freezes the pansy enemies of the Emprah with fear, it probably sounds something like FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-. They may be more than a little gay for their chain weapons. Also ANGRY FUCKING DREADNAUGHTS.

Rip and Tear!

In summary, NO FUCKING SPARKLES *BRBRBZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

Again, in summary; they're a fucking Khornate Cult waiting to happen just they call him 'The Emperor' instead of Khorne. The fact they are still considered loyalists at all is mind-boggling. They've been outright called heretics on numerous occasions, but presumably every time people start asking questions they get an unexpected case of 'missing limbs'. Thanks to Seth's latest strategy of pointing them where the chances of collateral damage are minimal, they're slowly becoming more accepted by the Imperium at large, so at least they're trying? Perhaps a certain other Blood Angel successor chapter wasn't.

The Blood Angels and their successors took them to trial (before the Shield of Baal campaign but after most other events in the fluff where they ended up killing Imperial members) depicted in the novella, "Trial by Blood", where after going through almost every established fluff case where the Flesh Tearers ripped and teared beyond what's normally healthy or sane, actually voted to disband the Flesh Tearers and absorb them piecemeal into other Blood Angel chapters. Astorath, however, stepped in and convinced Dante to overturn the verdict because as bad as the Flesh Tearers were, they were still merely at the further end of the scale than all Blood Angel chapters, who all had the Black Rage, were. They were still no where near as bad as the sick fucks and abominations the sons of Sanguinus were at war with, and winnings wars required getting shit done, which the Flesh Tearers excelled at.

Seth became total bros with Dante later on during the Blood Angels civil war when they came to an understanding about each other, and the Flesh Tearers fight at the front alongside the Blood Angels in the Baal campaign, even saving some Sisters of Battle (which might contrast with how some Sisters of Battle called for their excommunication when Flesh Tearers caught in the throes of the Black Rage slaughtered Imperial forces on Armageddon).

Too many chain weapons? Fuck you, there is no such thing!

Nassir Amit: "The Flesh Tearer was the founding Chapter Master of the Tearers and originally Captain of the 5th company of the Blood Angels legion. Got the nickname 'Flesh Tearer' from how scary the dude was during the great crusade, and just how generally bloodthirsty and angry he was before the death of Sanguinius really made that a thing. A lot of his actions could be argued why the Flesh Tearers went down the spiral path to angst town. Plus the guy REALLY hates Guilliman. To the point that he straight up told the guy to his face that the Codex and breaking apart the legions was a stupid idea. And that was after Guilliman already punched him in the gut for saying it once 10 seconds before. Plus, in battle he wears terminator armour with dual chainfists with storm bolters mounted to the wrists. As a final note he is known to kill Serfs near him just because he had not killed something in the last five minutes. The guy makes the hulk look like a zen master.

Gabriel Seth: "The Guardian of Rage" is the current Chapter Master with a XBOXHUGE S8 AP4 chainsword, with rending. Also, in 5th edition, if you rolled a 1 in close combat against him, he kicks you in the fucking balls. He is a lot more diplomatic than his previous Chapter Masters (especially compared to Amit) but in combat he is still just as miuch of a mainiac as his brothers. His 7th edition rules give him Furious Charge, Rage, and Rampage as a Warlord Trait, along with getting an extra hit for every 6 he gets in close combat, showing that leading the Flesh Tearers does require you to be so angry that Khorne tells you to chill.
