Hi, everyone! Tonight, Senegal Grindcore Mafia -a young band from my country- uploaded their 2nd album, which is called 'Ido y Lúcido' and is great. You can listen through any of the following:

https://lasenegal.bandcamp.com/album/ido-y-l-cidoThe album was mixed by Jack Shirley (producer of Deafheaven, Oathbraker and others) and mastered by Doug Henderson (who works on Swans' records), and is very special because it's the successful result of a 50 day crowdfunding campaign. The guys from the band needed around $4.000 dollars, and within the first 24 hours of the campaign, they were able to collect half of the money. By the time the campaign ended (in early September), 129% of the expected total had been raised. They did pretty good!
Their music is a mixture of some metal sub-genres, some psychedelic/progressive rock and some punk. They are not grindcore at all - actually, each of their albums has just 5 songs, some of which are past the 9 minute mark. Only one song on their new album has some grindcore feels as far as I can tell.
Anyway: it's a great, great band and a great, great album! It's pretty short and fast, so hopefully you'll have a chance to listen to it. If you like it, you can send your comments to the band through
