Background Info (taken from the "Dogshit" video posted at Youtube):
Heavy Metal band from Forshaga, Sweden, formed in 1988 by Peter Wallgren and Ronnie Österberg (both now in the heavy metal band DEVILSTONE), in this early stage a handful of different members came and went and the line-up was of rather loose character. After a while Per Wallgren and Tobias Gustafsson from the more established heavy metal band SYRUS joined the band as well as the guitar ace John Lundqvist.
In August 1991 Jonas Wikström (ex-ANGEL HEART) replaced John Lundqvist and this line-up recorded a four track demo in 1992. At this point EUREKA had a lot of gigs in their part of Sweden, among them the first "Arvikafestivalen" in 1992, but as the Death Metal scene escalated in the early 90s EUREKA found it hard to compete with the more extreme acts, and the group disbanded in 1994.
