Euphorbia was formed in 2005 by Ulisses Righi and Cirion Barboza, after they played together in an Alternative rock band. The band played its first concert in 2006, at the Macondo Bar in Santa Maria, Brazil.

In 2009, Euphorbia released a live album called Live at OhLaLa, featuring ten songs, including "Matricial", "Cage", "Erich Zann" and a cover of Harry's Songs of Metal and Flesh. The band also was featured on The Sky Is Grey - A Tribute To Harry with Songs of Metal and Flesh.

In 2010, Euphorbia released the Achromatopsia EP, featuring four songs, including "Bloodhold" and "Pater Noster".

In 2012, Euphorbia's song Achromatopsia was featured in the Alfa Matrix compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks - Act VI and in the Engraved Ritual compilation Synthetic Rage Vol 1.

In 2015, Euphorbia released a remastered version of the Achromatopsia EP, which included Erich Zann as an extra track. The band also announced an upcoming album for 2016.
