Sarmat – Dubious Disk Review
Dubious Disk is a curious case of an EP. A lot of what I read in the blurb I find hard to believe and in revisiting this album multiple times, more and more surprising things came to light. So, did our Goat solve this EP’s mystery?

The Infinity Ring – Nemesis & Nativity Review

It hits me on an emotional level, but I admit that as a musician myself, there is an intellectual bias to an album like this. Want some Bacon with that?
