1) A melodic death metal band from Veddige, Sweden.
2) A metalcore band from Richmond, VA, USA.
3) A black/death metal band from Australia.

1) The Swedish Eucharist was founded in Veddige, a little city about 40 km from Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden sometime in 1989. They released a demo in 1992. The same year a 7-inch EP called "Greeting Immortality" was released by Obscure Plasma Records. It featured song 1 and 3 from the demo. 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 reunite and sign a deal, which they also did. Their debut album "A Velvet Creation" was released in 1993. 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 - Volume One, released in 1995).

Eucharist split up again and some members started playing in other bands. Daniel for example recorded the drums for 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 the second full-length album "Mirrorworlds" was the result. The album was released in 1997. But then again in 1998, Eucharist split up for the third and maybe (?) final time.

After the split of Eucharist, Daniel joined (and is still a member of) Arch Enemy and is also playing in the reunited Carcass. Other former Eucharist members play(ed) in Revengia, The End (Swe), Cromlech, Eternal Lies, Armageddon (Swe) and some more lesser known projects.

2) The US Eucharist was active in the mid 1990s. They released a self-titled LP on Mountain Collective in 1996 and two songs on the "Nothing's Quiet on the Eastern Front" Compilation 12" on Reservoir, in 1997.

3) The Australian black metal band Eucharist has released two demos as of 2014: Demise Rites and Tenebrous Summoning. Both demos are self-released. A Compilation of the two demos was released by Total Holocaust with the same name as the first demo (Demise Rites). The band is rumored to have members of Nazxul but no solid lineup information has been made public.

Demons
Eucharist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a cradle of thousand fires, I burn.
While words of poetry painfully penetrates my mind.
No star will ever shine for you. You will never
See the light of the day again, for the darkness
Will be your shelter - forever.

Lick it - be prepared for the departure of a journey within.

Lick a stone, thrown into the sea by the hand of death,
I am falling into the rast of my subconsciousness.
Despite my blindness I witness my past as I am drowning
In beautiful pictures of perverted art.

In the twilight a bestial drama is being enacted.
Her legs are separated as my tears fall on her breasts...
...oh, I fuck her...

In a cradle of thousand fires, I burn.
While words of poetry painfully penetrates my mind.
No star will ever shine for you. You will never

See the light of the day again, for the darkness
Will be your shelter - forever.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eucharist's song Demons paint a vivid picture of a tormented mind struggling to break free from the grasp of darkness that has consumed it. The repeated verse, "In a cradle of thousand fires, I burn. While words of poetry painfully penetrates my mind", creates a sense of overwhelming pain and desperation. The use of fire and darkness as metaphors further emphasizes the intensity of the emotions being conveyed. The lines "No star will ever shine for you. You will never/See the light of the day again, for the darkness/Will be your shelter - forever" speak to the ultimate hopelessness and despair felt by the singer.

The second verse delves even deeper into the singer's psyche, describing a journey into their subconsciousness. The line "Lick it - be prepared for the departure of a journey within" suggests a willingness to confront one's darkest thoughts and desires. The image of falling into the "rast" of subconsciousness is intriguing and may be a reference to trance or altered states of consciousness. The singer's past is portrayed as both beautiful and perverted, indicating a complex relationship with their own memories.

The final lines of the song shift to a darker, more violent tone, with the singer describing a bestial sexual encounter. The use of graphic language and disturbing imagery may be unsettling to some listeners, but it serves to emphasize the extreme emotional turmoil of the singer.

Overall, Demons by Eucharist is a powerful and disturbing exploration of the human psyche, particularly of those who struggle with depression and thoughts of self-harm.
