SUPURATION Isolated

EP · 1991 · Death Metal

UMUR
"Isolated" is an EP release by French death metal act Supuration. The EP was released through Seraphic Decay Records in 1991. It follows the release of Supuration´s 1990 demos and the 1990 "Sultry Obssession" EP. The material featured on most of the minor Supuration releases from 1991 was culled from the August 1991 "Promo tape '91".

Stylistically it´s also a continuation of the relatively brutal (for the time) death metal style Supuration initiated on their 1990 releases. Supuration have a bit more up their sleeves than your regular death metal act though, and there´s a progressive edge to their music (including the use of keyboards and clean vocals), which was quite unusual for the time. "Isolated" is culled from the August 1991 "Promo tape '91", while "Sultry Obsession" as far as I can hear is culled directly from the 1990 "Sultry Obsession" demo/EP. "The Creeping Unknown" is culled from the 1991 "The Creeping Unknown" single (but ultimately also comes from the August 1991 "Promo tape '91").

As the case is what almost all of Supuration´s early 90s releases, "Isolated" is a good quality death metal release with progressive leanings. Although the material are culled from different releases, the sound production on all three tracks are relatively well sounding (considering that this is early 90s demo/single/EP death metal recordings). A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

SUPURATION The Creeping Unknown

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.

SUPURATION In Remembrance of a Coma

UMUR
"In Remembrance of a Coma" is a single release by French death metal act Supuration. The single was released through Distorted Harmony in 1991. 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 "In Remembrance of a Coma" ("In Remembrance of a Coma" and "1308.JP.08").

Stylistically the two tracks on the single is death metal with progressive leanings. It´s still primarely rooted in old school death metal but Supuration are not content with just playing straight forward death metal and their songwriting is pretty adventurous and eclectic for the time. Clean futuristic/robotic vocals (on "In Remembrance of a Coma" they are more of the spoken variant) compliment the growling death metal vocals, and the music features both keyboards, clean guitars, and a good portion of tempo-changes and compositional shifts in direction.

"In Remembrance of a Coma" is the more regular Supuration track of the two tracks on the single, while "1308.JP.08" is quite unconventional sounding like a death metal song where the songwriters have listened to a lot of Voivod and Killing Joke. It´s a pretty odd track, but certainly intriguing. The material is well produced and this is overall a good quality single release from Supuration and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

SUPURATION Empheral Paradise

Single · 1991 · Death Metal
Cover art Buy this album from MMA partners
UMUR
"Empheral Paradise" is a single release by French death metal act Supuration. The single was released through Regurgitated in 1991. 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 "Empheral Paradise" ("Empheral Paradise" and "Reveries Of A Bloated Cadaver").

"Empheral Paradise" is a track showing the many different elements of Supuration´s sound from this period. Both thrash- and death metal riffing, tempo-changes, occasional doom/death heaviness, atmospheric lead guitar work, growling- and futuristic/robotic sounding clean vocals, eerie keyboards, and a generally unconventional and adventurous approach to death metal songwriting. "Reveries Of A Bloated Cadaver" is a slightly more brutal and death metal oriented song, but of course that track also features one or two progressive inclined moments.

Qaulity wise I think "Empheral Paradise" is the better composition of the two, but "Reveries Of A Bloated Cadaver" is still a good quality track featuring the unique sound of early Supuration. The sound production is of a good quality, although the clean guitars on "Reveries Of A Bloated Cadaver" sound a bit "off" in the mix. Considering that these tracks were culled from a demo the sound production is just fine though. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.

SUPURATION Promo tape '91

"Promo tape '91" is a demo recording by French death metal act Supuration. The demo was independently released in August 1991. It´s one of the seminal recordings from the early part of Supuration´s discography (1990-1993) before they released their 1993 debut full-length studio album "The Cube". Supuration´s early years can be a bit confusing when looking at the number and types of minor releases they put out, but when it comes down to it, you really only need the 1990 "Sultry Obssession" EP and "Promo tape '91" to have the most important recordings from that period of the band´s career. Almost all other releases from that period feature tracks from one of those two releases.

So it´s now established that "Promo tape '91" is a seminal release in Supuration´s discography. But not only that...it´s also a high quality release showing the world the unique and sometimes progressive oriented death metal style of early Supuration. They would get increasingly more progressive from 1993 onwards, so the material on "Promo tape '91" is a chance to hear Supuration while they were still predominantly a death metal band toying with progressive songwriting ideas, rather than the other way around, which became the norm for them after 1993.

Featuring no less than eight tracks and a total playing time of 30:31 this could almost have been Supuration´s debut album if a label had opted to release it. Instead the promo tape was send to various labels shopping for a recording contract. The sound production is also of a high enough quality for this to be put out as a label release instead of a demo. I´ve heard much worse sound productions on official studio albums. So upon conclusion "Promo tape '91" is a high quality demo recording and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
