Artist History ETERNAL FLAME formed in 1987 by (then) young and angry guitarist Andre Romita and old and stillangry vocalist/keyboardplayer Gerrit Tijhof. Joined by an amazing rhythm section, which consisted of Robert Buitink (drums) and bassplayer Harry Punt, they rocked their Dutch nation for six fantastic years. They recorded a couple of demos and put 3 tracks on a compilation CD. They never had to deal with a management or record label, so you can imagine how happy these guys must have been. Anyway, in 1993 the story came to an end as different musical influences confused the members. Now in 2003 TERNAL FLAME are back, celebrating 10 Years Of NON Existence.
