S.U.P

Formed in Wallers, in the Nord, in 1990 by brothers Ludovic and Fabrice Loez, S.U.P has developed from the start a distinctive path between death metal, death‑doom and industrial metal, while maintaining a parallel identity as Supuration. Initially active as Supuration, the band released The Cube in 1993 and adopted the acronym S.U.P in 1995 with Anomaly, without completely abandoning its original name, which it revived for certain releases such as Incubation (2003), CU3E (2013) and Rêveries (2015). Under the S.U.P moniker the discography shows a progression toward darker, more hybrid atmospheres, from Room Seven (1997) to Chronophobia (1999), Angelus (2002), Imago (2005), Hegemony (2008), Dissymmetry (2019) and Octa (2023). S.U.P’s sound mixes heavy riffs, ponderous tempos, rough vocals and colder or mechanical textures, with a marked taste for conceptual formats and narrative atmospheres. Over the years S.U.P has also toured with acts like Coroner and Anathema, composed for Fabrice Lambot’s short film Insanity, and maintained a constant link with the French metal scene through limited archive releases, concerts and festival appearances, notably Hellfest.
