Imperial Crystalline Entombment (I.C.E.) - Apocalyptic End in White Edit: Lmao I forgot the actual thing of this one. But That's only because I got so high listening to this amazing black metal album that I lost myself for a moment, but just one. I have returned to inform you that actually there is a reason so many people (Myself included) were excited for the return of this band. It is because this album absolutely fucks. Just super intense great black metal. This thing is frigid and evil as fuck. It just super scratches that black metal itch. Absolutely a must listen classic album.

Just a lil Royai fic rec.

I'm new to the FMA fandom, but these two now live in my head rent-free. And so do these fics. Enjoy!

Catharsis by kekkubean

Rating: M

Word count: 5K

Summary: She knew better. And now a little girl was dead because she wanted to believe that her father’s behavior existed in a vacuum.

Or,

When Riza learns of the Tucker incident, she doesn't handle it well.

Excerpt: At her feet, Hayate whined, she imagined disapprovingly. It was definitely too early to be drinking, although thankfully she skipped training him on understanding the appropriate hours for alcohol consumption. Riza met his gaze and they regarded each other for a moment as the burning subsided slowly. Hayate cocked his head to the side, curious, and whined again softly, as if he could read her wretched mind.

She briefly, morbidly wondered if Alexander and Nina shared thoughts, or if one of their minds dominated the other in that body, or if it were an entirely new—

Riza slammed her palms on the table, instantly suppressing the thought, and abruptly pushed herself up to standing. Hayate jumped and slinked off into her bedroom. She stood swaying for a moment, trying to gain her balance and some semblance of her sanity.

My thoughts: This one is canon to me. I can offer no higher praise for a fic. Before reading this, I never considered how Nina's fate might affect Riza, but it just makes so much damn sense. The way kekkubean writes trauma is blade-sharp. And the pacing, the dialogue, the characterization - exquisite.

Summary: It was not his Captain standing there in front of him. It was his master's daughter, so brutally burdened with ink, secrets so cruelly exposed to the world by one blasted broken zipper. 

Excerpt: She lifted her head and blinked, feeling a great bit foolish that she stood in front of her superior, tortured over an issue  he managed to solve in,  oh,  less than one second.

How very Roy Mustang.

My thoughts: I've read this so many times. It's one of the first I read in this fandom, and I keep coming back to it. It's short, poetically formatted, and utterly perfect in it's simplicity.

Beautiful People by That Hoopy Frood

Rating: T

Word count: 6.4K

Summary: Soon after the conclusion of the Ishvalan Civil War, Captain Maes Hughes receives a phone call in the middle of the night. The message is short, concise... and perhaps the most terrifying thing Hughes has ever heard.

Hawkeye's apartment. Now. Come alone. Someone has been hurt.

A promise was once made amidst the sands of a distant desert land: oaths will be upheld, and secrets will be scorched away. The sinful had waited too long; Roy Mustang was indebted to his promise, and Riza Hawkeye had come to collect.

Shut the door; it's starting to rain.

Excerpt: "You asked her to follow you… she would have walked over burning coals for you…" Hughes felt hot, angry tears running down his face. His glasses fogged. His voice cracked. "You were supposed to fall in love with her, Roy! You were supposed to marry her and have kids and be just be happy for once in your goddamned miserable life… now look what you've done. Look at what you've done."

My thoughts: Riza's back-burning is one of the most starkly absent scenes from the FMA canon. The scene has been written and rewritten in fanfiction many times, but this particular fic fills the gap in a way that is just perfectly brutal and raw. The addition of Hughes' presence makes the whole thing cut like a knife. Like Catharsis, this one is canon in my mind.

And now, a shameless plug:

The Counteroffer by theblueeyedfirebender

Rating: T

Word count: 2.6K

Summary: On the eve of Mustang’s inauguration as Fuhrer, Riza Hawkeye submits her resignation.

Excerpt: He pulls a manila envelope from the drawer and stands, sliding it across the surface of the desk in her direction. Her gaze falls to the hand he’s extended, long fingers and pale skin, the lingering scar of a transmutation circle still faintly visible, crosswise marred by another, thicker scar, twin to one on his other hand.  

Something snags in her throat, but she swallows it down and picks up the envelope. It’s thin, like it contains nothing at all. “What is this, sir?” 

For a moment, he doesn’t answer, as if the routine honorific has stuck him somewhere unexpected. When he speaks again, his voice is thick. “A counteroffer.” 

My thoughts: My first-ever FMA fic, complete with an ACOMAF Chapter 54-inspired confession (iykyk).

Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean - Obsession Destruction.

Holy shit… just… holy shit. This album is Epic with a capital E. This thing feels like a sludge and doom metal epic with some of the most interesting composition I’ve heard in a LONG time. This whole thing feels almost operatic in its complexity and ability to evoke very intense emotions at least from me just with the instrumentation alone. Not to mention the amazing vocals that stretch out over the entire album. Shrieking suffering over some of the most dramatic and amazing guitar work out there. Definitely give yourself an hour, smoke a jay, and let this album just dominate your mind.

I often joke about being a prepubescent boy (because I'm pre-T) and it really hits home when I look at all the SOAD and Linkin Park in my music library lol

#im listening to the music i loved at like 13. but more! and with more confidence #im saying i have the music library of a 13 year old boy #minus metallica lmao. i dont vibe with metallica. #but if anyone has recs for some good classic metal or black metal hmu #trying to get more into metal. i like judas priest / lamb of god / black sabbath

250. The Wild Hunt - Watain (Black Metal, 2013)

Art by Zbigniew M. Bielak

 On 15 June 2014 the band performed a 'special' show on their "The Wild Hunt" world tour in NYC at the Brooklyn Bazaar. This controversial performance went on to draw attention from news outlets due to the band drenching the crowd in pig's blood, and allegedly causing members of the audience to throw up.

does anyone know any bands with Inquisition style vocals that aren’t fronted by nonces? i really dig the mumbling frog/monk vibe but i can’t separate art from artist for stuff like this and it sucks bc it seems like inquisition has a very unique sound
