While Supuration delivers more powerful riffage and Death Metal oriented material, S.U.P. displays more dark wave/cold wave oriented influences alongside Doom Metal. In each case, the band succeeded in suggesting its own unique atmospheres, resulting of innovative and hypnotic riffage, and an ambitious blend of traditional cavernous Death Metal voices and Cold/Dark Wave vocals.
One of many particularities of this seamy band is their ritual of first writing a story in plain French, then transformating them into English lyrics from which the actual music is composed. Thus, every Supuration/S.U.P. album relates a story, inspired by the hypothetical after-death in the case of Supuration; more about Science-Fiction when the S.U.P. aspect is concerned…
It is considered one of the most influential bands of French death metal, inspiring successful French acts such as Carnival in Coal, Division Alpha,Gojira, Kalisia, ...
Chronology:
Supuration put out its first album ‘Sultry Obsession’ in 1990, autoproduced and limited to 1000 copies. In 1991, they recorded 8 tracks, that would eventually end up on various EPs, and would be compiled later on the still autoproduced ’9092’, limited to 500 copies with 3 tracks recorded in 1992, and also appeared on the ‘Obscurum per Obscurus’ compilation.
In 1992, September, Supuration signed with Reincarnate Records, leading to the release of the first full-length album ‘The Cube’ in Feb, 1993. It was followed in Apr. 1994 by a “Maxi” named ‘Still in the Sphere’, including an infamous doom-metal cover of ‘Shout’, by Tears for Fears… Meanwhile, the band was contacted for the soundtrack to the movie ‘Jacques le fataliste’, without any further distribution.
Then started an European tour side to side with Suffocation, and the first broadcast of the track ‘The Crack’, on MCM.
Fall 1994, free from its previous contracts, Supuration signs on PIAS France. In July 1995, Supuration releases its second album ‘Anomaly’, switching name to ‘Spherical Unit Provided’ (S.U.P.) for the occasion. They begin touring France co-headlining with Coroner. In April 1996, the maxi ‘Transfer’ was released, containing various tracks from ‘Anomaly’ reprocessed into acoustic/ electro / demo versions.
In 1996, the contract with PIAS records expired, allowing to sign with Holy Records. Then began a great collaboration, eventually leading to three more albums:
‘Room Seven’ (1997), the vision of an autistic person through his dreams
‘Chronophobia’(1999), the coldest album, which unveils the story of twins separated at birth through time and space. A deadly countdown which will bring them together forever. The band claims that it isn’t a pessimistic way of seeing life, but merely an original fiction via a claustrophobic musical experience.
‘Angelus’ (2002), well received in both the international and national press. It questions the origin of Man and his religions.
Holy Records also released a « live » Album, ‘To Live Alone’(2001), two re-releases of ‘The Cube’(1998), and ‘Anomaly’ (2000).
This successful career led to a series of concerts throughout Europe with Anathema from Dec. 1999 to Jan. 2000, then in France with Gloomy Grim and Division Alpha in April.
In May 2002, the band made a second attempt at an original soundtrack, for the short movie ‘Insanity’, by Fabrice Lambot. It was shown in various international festivals. (Buenos Aires, Belgrade, London, Toronto …) and was released in Jan. 2003.
From 2002 to June 2003, they performed many concerts and festivals, becoming an emblematic figure of French Metal which still seduces and surprise album after album.
At the end of 2003, the group takes back its former identity, Supuration, to write a worthy follow-up to the extremely renowned ‘The Cube’ …: ‘Incubation’.
‘Incubation’ plunges both the band and their fans in nostalgia, the ideal moment to re-release ‘90-92’, with a DVD as bonus in 2004, and mark the end of a cycle. Time has come for Supuration to let S.U.P. reappear: S.U.P. proposes ‘Imago’, at the perfect time to see the chrysalis turn into a stunning Butterfly … A long-awaited rebirth !
In 2007, S.U.P. delivers its last release to date: a live DVD ‘Traces Part 1’, with a number of previously released tracks, and covers (notably from Division Alpha).
In 2008, the band released a new album, Hegemony.

S.U.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
How could a man die in so fucked up pain
It felt like it won't rain again
I need to rest you a broken rose
And I'm sure will meet again
And even if you turn to gray
No words that I can say
We'll see you once again
Rise and fight I miss the light you had
In your eyes, the light, you had
Can't feel my face in pain
So lovely, broken rainy day
The skies won't open up to say
I believe I'm strong enough
To cry, lie, and say I'm fine
I believe that you are strong
So please just say it is all a lie
And I'm sure will meet again
And even if you turn to gray
No words that I can say
We'll see you once again
My dearest friend don't die
Rise and fight I miss the light you had
In your eyes, the light, you had
You used to fucking shine
So sad you simply died
I don't know what to say
When it all feels like a lie
And I'm sure will meet again
And even if you turn to gray
No words that I can say
We'll see you once again
My dearest friend don't die
Rise and fight I miss the light you had
In your eyes, the light, you had
I apologize
Cause I couldn't cry
So miss this
When you die
The lyrics of S.U.P.'s song [untitled] express deep anguish and sorrow over the loss of a dear friend. The singer is devastated upon hearing about the death of their friend in excruciating pain, unable to comprehend how such suffering was endured. The imagery of a broken rose symbolizes the fragility and vulnerability of their friend's existence, and the despair at the thought of never seeing them again. The mention of turning to gray signifies the inevitability of death and the inability to find the right words to console the singer's grief.
The plea for the friend to rise and fight, to not succumb to death, highlights the intense longing for their presence and the light that used to emanate from their eyes. The inability to feel anything but pain further emphasizes the emotional turmoil and the desolate feeling of loss on a gloomy, rainy day. Despite the singer's belief in their own strength to cope with the loss, the desperation to hold on to the hope of seeing their friend again is palpable.
The lyrics reflect on the friend's past radiance and energy, lamenting the tragedy of their untimely death and the struggle to accept the harsh reality. The singer grapples with the darkness of grief, unable to find the right words or emotions to express their sorrow adequately. The repetition of the assurance that they will meet again emphasizes the faith in a reunion beyond death, but the overwhelming sense of loss and emptiness remains unresolved.
The final lines express a heart-wrenching apology for the inability to cry and the overwhelming feeling of missing the departed friend. The mourning process is complex and fraught with conflicting emotions of disbelief, sadness, and longing. The lyrics encapsulate the raw pain of losing someone dear and the struggle to come to terms with their absence, ultimately conveying a poignant and heartfelt plea for the friend to be remembered and missed.
