_{I must admit that I hadn’t heard of Doomsday Outlaw until the band’s debut album “Black River” was sent to us by BJF Media. It only took the briefest of listens to decide to download the album as there was something instantly infectious in those heavy, southern-rock/metal inspired tracks. The band formed in Derbyshire in September 2013, with the members coming together from other bands, and the album was released independently on 13th April.}

_{Doomsday Outlaw are Carl Batten on vocals, Steve Broughton and Gavin Mills on guitar, Indy on bass and John “Ironfoot” Willis on drums. There are 11 tracks on “Black River” and at just under an hour long you certainly get value for money!}

_{Tracks that particularly stand out for me are "Black Train", “Down”, “Back on Track”, “Mountain Man” “Hallelujah” and “Never Train”.}

_{You can find the band on all the usual social media sites and at http://doomsdayoutlaw.com/ where you can also order the album.}

_{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, not a traditional “review”!}

_{My musical tastes cover most things rock; from he 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.}
