The Black Map #99: Suffer from Wolverhampton!

Heading 89 miles from Liverpool down the M6 to Wolverhampton for this weeks journey into uncharted territory that is the Black Map of the UK Underground Metal scene, it’s time to check out Suffer. They’re a five piece Beatdown Deathcore collective with a reputation for leaping Metal sub-genres in single death defying bounds, being more powerful than a Locomotive and of course faster than a speeding bullet! They landed the first punch in 2019 with debut EP “Slerm” and are planning a second round knock out with their sophomore release “Heavy Silence” on 3rd April! Bridging the two was stand alone single “Establishment” which frankly is deserving of attention in it’s own right and sets the tone for the upcoming new release, but if we’re being brutally honest, the presence of Traitors vocalist Tyler Shelton on “For We Are Wretched” from the new EP has got us foaming at the mouth. If that wasn’t enough for you, the Black Country brutes also have Hayden Shemilt of Old Wharf fame waiting by the sidelines for “The Cruelest Creation” so it could well be tag team time when it comes to playing live.
