Lands: 7 x Swamp  7 x Mountain  4 x Blood Crpyt  4 x Dragonskull Summit  Creatures: 4 x Ash Zealot  3 x Hellhole Flailer  4 x Rakdos Cackler  4 x Rakdos Shred-Freak  3 x Falkenrath Aristocrat  3 x Hellrider  3 x Knight of Infamy  4 x Stromkirk Noble  2 x Thundermaw Hellkite  Instants: 4 x Searing Spear  Sorceries: 4 x Pillar of Flame  Sideboard: Instants: 3 x Rakdos Charm  Sorceries: 3 x Dreadbore  1 x Flames of the Firebrand  2 x Rakdos's Return  3 x Slaughter Games  3 x Traitorous Blood  I'm kind of thinking of taking out the Infamies for Geralf's Messenger. I dunno yet, probably a lot of other stuff that could use fixing, thanks for all advice/criticism.

This deck looks pretty good already, but I'd take out Knight of Infamy . Odds are you'll be attacking en masse most of the time, which means exalted is next to useless. And pro white is very situational. Dreadbore feels like a better option to me, or you could try Brimstone Volley  . Triggering the morbid effect should be no problem with this deck.

-3 Flailer
+1 Hellkite
+1 Hellrider
+1 Guildgate
-4 Shred-Freak
+1 Aristocrat
+1 Knight
+2 Guildgate
-4 Cackler
-4 Ghoul
-4 Noble
+4 Gravecrawler
-2 Mountain
+2 Swamp
You list looks a little mana greedy, hench the Guildgates. And with the addition of another Hellkite more land is needed (and 22 was too low any way). Ghoul and Gravecrawler are superior 1 drops to Noble and Cackler. Ghoul is a Cackler that can block after it's second turn if you have to, and Gravecrawler can crawll out of the Grave.
Messenger would be an ideal turn 3 play (and it further supports Gravecrawler). And in that event (after making the changes I suggested) I'd be inclined to go:
-1 Hellrider
-1 Knight
-1 Hellkite
-1 Guildgate
+4 Messenger
Other wise:
-3 Flailer
-2 Shred-Freak
+4 Messenger
+1 Knight
Pro-White is pretty relevent, at least from what I've seen.

To the OP: Usually a distinction is made between B/R Zombies and Rakdos (B/R) Aggro. The package suggested by Anabuss of 4x Diregraf Ghoul  , 4x Gravecrawler  , 4x Geralf's Messenger  probably puts this squarely in B/R Zombies territory. Whether this matters I guess depends on your preferences: Do you want to have the most competitive deck that uses the colors black and red or do you want to play a (non-zombie) Rakdos Aggro deck? They do play differently.
[And no, I'm not trying to suggest that B/R Zombies is better than Rakdos Aggro or vice versa.]
