Eucharist was founded in Veddige, a little city about 40 km from Gothenburg, Sweden sometime around 1989. A demo which was released in 1992 became a classic in the metal underground. It was titled "Greeting Immortality". The same year, Obscure Plasma Records released the "Greeting Immortality" 7" (without consent of the band), and in 1993 the band recorded a song named "The View" for a Deaf Records (Peaceville) compilation album called "Deaf Metal Sampler". Suddenly the band split up.
But soon after, Wrong Again Records asked them to re-unite and sign a deal, which they also did. Eucharist entered the studio and recorded their debut album "A Velvet Creation", which was released in 1993, but the cover was somewhat misprinted in the wrong color. In the summer of 1994, two tracks, "Wounded And Alone" and "The Predictable End" were recorded especially for a compilation album released by Wrong Again Records (W.A.R. Compilation vol 1 - released in 1995).
Eucharist split up again and some members started playing in other bands. Daniel for example did the drums on two tracks on In Flames' EP "Subterranean". In 1996, Marcus and Daniel started working with Eucharist again and they were instantly offered a deal by WAR Music (a new label risen from the ashes of Wrong Again Records) and "Mirrorworlds" was the result (released in 1997). But then again, after a short tour in early 1998, Eucharist split up. For the third and maybe (?) final time.
In 2001, "A Velvet Creation" was re-released on Regain Records on both CD and vinyl. This time remastered, and with the two songs from the "W.A.R. Compilation" session as bonus-tracks. The cover was also printed in the right color this time, but Markus Johnsson's name was misprinted as Marcus Johansson.
"Greeting Immortality" live in Rotterdam 22-11-1997!
