UMUR
"Sultry Obssession" is the second demo recording by French death metal act Supuration. The demo was independently released in November 1990. It was simoultaniously released as an EP with additional track "Hypertrophy", which is actually not an addition to the original demo. The original demo just featured track 1 and 2 from the EP as one track titled "Sordid & Outrageous Emanation" (the EP tracks "Hypertrophy" and "Sordid & Outrageous Emanation").

"Sultry Obssession" is Supuration´s first studio demo recording, as their first demo was recorded live at their rehearsal space. No tracks from the first demo were re-recorded and included on "Sultry Obssession", so the demo features all new material. The material is also exclusive to this demo as none of the tracks would be re-recorded and included on Supuration´s debut full-length studio album "The Cube" (1993).

Stylistically Supuration have become a bit more brutal since the first thrashy death metal demo, but also more progressive. Already this early on there is a Voivod sci-fi influence heard here and there, and considering that this is a 1990 death metal demo, it´s actually quite impressive in terms of the eclectic nature of the songwriting, the high level musical performances, and the near-professional sound production values. It´s no wonder that Supuration opted to re-release this demo as an EP. The quality certainly warrants such a move. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
