“Suffer More” is the second album from Doomsday Outlaw and it was released independently on 27th May. Almost a year ago to the day I posted a recommendation for their debut album “Black River” which had been released in April 2015. I’d immediately taken to the first album when I heard it and the follow-on “Suffer More” certainly doesn’t disappoint either. What has changed though is the lead vocalist. Whilst there are clear differences in vocal style, Doomsday Outlaw still deliver a brand of Southern, bluesy rock / metal that definitely ticks the boxes for me. I played the track “Saltwater” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th April and “Fallback” on 13th May.
Doomsday Outlaw formed in 2013 and released their debut album in April 2015. Original singer Carl Batten was subsequently replaced by Phil Poole who delivers an outstanding performance on “Suffer More”. The rest of the band line-up has remained unchanged with Steve Broughton and Gavin Mills on guitar, Indy on bass and John “Ironfoot” Willis on drums.
The album is available to buy from the band’s website as well as all the usual places and this time it features 15 tracks. In addition to the two tracks I’ve already played I’d pick “Walk on Water”, “I’ve Been Found”, “Wait Until Tomorrow”, “Jericho Cane” and “Tale of a Broken Man” as my favourite tracks.

About “NI Rocks Recommends”
The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!
My musical tastes cover most things rock; from the not too melodic to the not too heavy. The albums that I’ll be recommending are merely those that I would buy myself and which you’ll be hearing played on my shows on Rock Radio NI.
