about
Back in may 1989, Eternal Solstice was founded by Ramon Soeterbroek, Philip Nugteren, Edwin Roor and Kees-Jan Schouten. After Edwin Roor left the band, two ex-Sempiternal Deathreign members we "recruited" and the following line-up was a fact: * Kees-Jan Schouten - Vocals * Philip Nugteren - Guitars * Victor van Drie - Guitars * Ramon Soeterbroek - Bass * Mischa Hak - Drums After a period of practising Mischa Hak came up with the idea to realize a self-financed split album of the two bands he was playing with (besides Eternal Solstice he also played with a band called Mourning). So the Reel Sound Studio was booked on 20 - 21 june 1990 for Eternal Solstice. But just before the recording sessions would take place Kees-Jan Schouten decided to leave the band. The vocal parts on the four recorded songs were realized by bass-player Ramon Soeterbroek. Then the problems started. Several record companies reacted, but none of them really had the guts to release this piece of death metal (recorded before some of today's well-known death metal acts were even founded). Another accidental problem was that during this time the Eternal Solstice line-up collapsed. Mourning decided to release 3 of their 5 recorded tracks as a demotape and the Reel Sound recordings of Eternal Solstice were doomed to be unreleased. Until... Mr Belgium himself, Wim Baelus, decided to release the split album on his own label called Midian Creations. So finally (2 years too late) the split-album was released
