UMUR
"The Creeping Unknown" is a single release by French death metal act Supuration. The single was released through Morbid Records in 1991. Supuration formed in 1990 and released quite a few minor releases before recording and releasing their 1993 debut full-length studio album "The Cube". "The Creeping Unknown" is just one of those minor releases. The material featured on most of the minor Supuration releases from 1991 was culled from the August 1991 "Promo tape '91", and that´s also the case with the two tracks featured on "The Creeping Unknown" ("The Creeping Unknown" and "Sojourn In The Absurd").
Both the title track and "Sojourn In The Absurd" are good quality death metal compositions with a progressive edge. Powerful growling vocals, intriguing riffs and rhythms, melancholic lead guitar work and an overall interesting atmosphere. The sound production is of a good quality too, so upon conclusion "The Creeping Unknown" is another intriguing release from the early 90s Supuration catalogue, which is well worth investigating. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
