Supuration est fondé par les frères Loez à la fin des années 80. Dès 1990, le groupe français publie Sultry Obsession, premier cd autoproduit limité à 1000 exemplaires. En 1991, la formation enregistre 8 titres qui se retrouveront sur différents EPs et seront compilés plus tard sur l’autoproduction 9092 limitée à 500 exemplaires avec 3 morceaux enregistrés en 1992 qui figurent sur la compilation Obscurum per Obscurus.
En septembre 1992, Supuration signe sur Reincarnate records et sort son premier album The Cube en février 1993 qui sera suivi en avril 1994 d’un maxi Still in the Sphere incluant la reprise Shout deTears for Fears.
Entre temps, le groupe est contacté pour l'enregistrement de la bande originale du long métrage Jacques le fataliste qui sera diffusé qu’une seule fois (pas de contrat de distribution). Le groupe entame une tournée Européenne aux côtés de Suffocation et le clip The Crack est diffusé sur MCM.
Fin 1994, libéré de ses engagements Supuration signe sur PIAS France. En juillet 1995, le combo enregistre son second album :Anomaly. A sa sortie le groupe change d’identité et devient S.U.P(Spherical Unit Provided) et en février 1996 partage l’affiche de la tournée française de Coroner. En avril 1996 le groupe sort le maxi Transfer qui regroupe différents morceaux d’Anomaly en versions acoustiques, éléctros et démos… Fin 1996 le groupe arrive aux termes du contrat qui le lie avec Pias et signe en janvier 1997 sur Holy Records. C’est le début d’une grande collaboration qui verra la réalisation de trois albums : Room Sevenen 1997, Chronophobia en 1999 et Angelus en 2002; un albumLive To Live Alone en 2001 disponible en CD, VD et DVD, et deux rééditions The Cube (incluant en bonus le maxi Still in the Sphere) en 1998 et Anomaly en 2000 (un double CD incluant la version originale agrémentée du maxi Transfer et la nouvelle version de l’album).
Le groupe enchaîne les concerts, tourne en Europe avecAnathema de décembre 1999 à janvier 2000 puis en France avecGloomy Grim et Division Alpha en avril.
En mai 2002 ils enregistrent la bande originale du court métrage Insanity réalisé par Fabrice Lambot. Il est projeté dans plusieurs festivals internationaux (Buenos Aires, Belgrade, Bruxelles, Londres, Toronto, etc.) et est édité en vidéo en janvier 2003. De fin 2002 à juin 2003 ils multiplient les prestations Live pour de nombreux concerts et dans de nombreux festivals. S.U.P est dorénavant une figure emblématique du Metal français qui continue de séduire et de surprendre album après album. Fin 2003 le groupe reprend son identité d’origine, Supuration, pour offrir au cultissime The Cube un digne successeur... Incubation.Incubation replonge le groupe et ses fans dans la nostalgie, le moment opportun pour rééditer 90-92 relooké et agrémenté d'un DVD. La réédition sort en novembre 2004 et marque la fin d'un cycle. Le temps est venu pour Supuration de s'éclypser pour faire renaître S.U.P...
Novembre 2005 est le moment propice pour que la chrysalide se transforme en un magnifique papillon... S.U.P revient et proposeImago... Une renaissance attendue qui ravira les fans !En 2008, le groupe revient en force avec l'excellent albumHegemony.

S.U.P "Pain Injection" Supuration
October 1990-1992 Beginnings...
SUPURATION offered its first, self-produced CD, 'SULTRY OBSESSION,' in a limited run of 1000 copies. Their song '1308JP08' established the band's distinctive sound. After releasing several 7 inch EPs on various labels in both Germany and the U.S., several labels took an interest in Supuration. They decided to sign with Reincarnte/Danceteria Records which took them into the studio to record their first album, 'THE CUBE.' After the release of this album in 1992, the band gained a cult status in the underground metal scene with their musical fusion of Death Metal and Cold Wave styles. Meanwhile, a producer for the movie 'Jack the Fatalist' contacted the band to compose the soundtrack for his movie. More than thirty tracks have been recorded for this project. However, to date they have not been released. Supuration also released 500 copies of a compilation CD, '9092,' that features some 7 inch material from 1990-92.
1993
After touring in 1993, they recorded their final offering on Reincarnate Records, 'STILL IN THE SPHERE,' which includes a remake of 'Shout' from 'Tears for Fears.' Before this MCD was put on the market, the band went on a European tour and made a video for 'The Crack,' which was broadcasted on MCM TV. At this time, SUPURATION decided to break the deal with Danceteria to sign with PIAS France.
1995 Changes...
Supuration then recorded its second album, 'Anomaly,' in 1995. The band's darkest album, it reveals a futuristic view of the day when machines take over mankind. For this album, the band changed its name and became S.U.P., Spherical Unit Provided, to adjust better to the concept. To promote the band and the album, S.U.P went on tour several times (with Suffocation and Coroner).
1996-1998
In 1996, S.U.P. released 'TRANSFER' which has remixes of some songs from Anomaly as well as their 1995 demo. In late 1996, S.U.P signed a three album deal with Holy Records. 'Room Seven' saw the light of the day in November 1997. Once again, the album is concept piece relaying a fantastic story dealing with dreams of an autistic person. Each song is linked to the other as each album of S.U.P supports a unifying concept (like King Diamond 'Abigail'). The texts of the 'Room Seven' songs are printed in seven different languages: English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Polish and French. In February 1998,Holy Records re-released 'The Cube' which includes their 'STILL IN THE SPHERE' MCD without the cover song 'Shout.'
1998
Thierry-Ludo-Fred-Fab Laurent Bessault leaves the band ! S.U.P decided to take its time to record their next album, 'Chronophobia.' That's the reason why this album was produced at home in S.U.P. personal studio. They needed a lot of concentration and tranquillity for this new piece of art. Though recorded at home, 'Chronophobia' was mixed in Brussels in a second studio where they could hear the song in a different way. The Loez brothers, guitarists and singers of the band, decided to mix the album themselves because they knew exactly what they wanted in a matter of Metal sound texture. 'Chronophobia' is the story of twins separated at birth throughout space and time, an infernal countdown will eventually bring them together again into death. It's not a pessimist or depressive way of seeing normal life, but simply an original and interesting story across oppressive music.
2000
The band re-recorded the whole ANOMALY album and completed it whith four unreleased tracks. They released a two CD set digipack including the original version of the album remastered, the new version and the transfer EP
2001
Time for ANGELUS. The recording of the album began in July 2001 Recorded during ten days (5 hours per day approximately), then direction St Omer in a small village or one breathes quasi absolute peace, place ideal to carry out the mixing of ANGELUS. Dany Cavanagh, the guitarist of ANATHEMA was contacted by Ludovic Loez for the narrations parts which make the album even more coherent and makes it possible to be plunged directly in the heart of the universe of ANGELUS which was released in 2002. This time they ask us about the history of an ancestral subject: Who are we? Where do we come from? Can God, imports his name or the religion which one practises exists you there? Are we human? Extraterrestrial? Or a little of both? S.U.P took part in July 2002 in the festival of DOUR in Belgium. November 2002, realization of the music of a short film "INSANITY". Short film of Fabice Lambot. Written, produced and carried out by Fabrice Lambot.
2003
After some shows, SUP entered the studio and recorded a new album under the name of SUPURATION. It is linked with their first album "The cube" and was released in December through Holy Records. This album is called "Incubation" and was a great success for the band.
2004
Year of the reissue of 9092 which was remastered and came out with a bonus DVD including video, studio report... The band also played several shows to support INCUBATION. Their last show (Holy Party, Paris, January 16th 2005) under that name was recorded and was released on DVD along with the shows of all other bands playing this day.
