Inksterium has entered a stage in life where every album she takes a keen interest in doubles as a personality test. Case in point: she has recently discovered she doesn’t enjoy being teased. Here at The Goat Review, we serve full frontal postitude. Can you dig it?

Wyatt E – Zamāru Ultu Qereb Ziqquratu Part 1 Review
Music for staring balefully at deserts is music for staring balefully at deserts, wherever you are. Yet those Middle Eastern accents are prominent, and so too is a certain stoner drone doom vibe. Wyatt E are wearing a lot of hats here. And it’s glorious.

Uulliata Digir – Uulliata Digir Review
I checked out Uulliata Digir on a whim, one cold Monday evening while half asleep from work. Little of what I was hearing was taken in because of this, but the vocals pierced through the tired mist of my blue-collar existence. Suddenly, Croque woke up.

Beneath a Steel Sky – Cleave Review
Beneath a Steel Sky’s debut, Cleave, goes far beyond being just another album title. Divided into two distinct sides, like an existential sandwich, this post rock/post metal debut seems carefully structured. It’s an A and B. It’s a start and a finish. It’s a rock and a metal. Two sides, one post-y sky!

Necromaniac – Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable
Black metal as an ingredient can be very interesting if added in reasonable quantities. Listening to Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable felt like sifting through a promising pile of raw ingredients that never quite form any edible dish. Guess Bobo’s not eating any time soon.
