History Eric started playing guitar at the age of 14 after seeing George Kooymans of the Golden Earring play live in his hometown. Soon he discovered that he liked the louder parts the best, and his musical taste developed at a rapid rate. Soaking up all kinds of rock and metal related music; from Metallica to King Crimson to even some fusion and pop. He started playing in his first band (playing rock covers) at the age of 16. At the age of 18 (1991) he joined the technical death metal band Manifest. This was his first serious effort in the music scene. Manifest built a solid reputation as an innovative, technical and ground breaking metal band. The band was plagued by their own unique style, not being able to persuade a recording company to sign them. The band split up in 1998. In 1993 Eric also joined a band called Trinity. A band that eventually turned out the be called Daeonia. Their post gothic rock landed them a recording deal with the English record company Candlelight Records in 1997, and they released 1 mini CD, 1 CD single and 2 full-length albums throughout the next 4 years. Eric was the main songwriter and lyricist for Daeonia. In 2001 Candlelight Records and Daeonia went their seperate ways. The band finally split up in 2003 after 10 years. Eric went on to look for new projects after the Daeonia break-up, and decided to join the Dutch gothic metal band Trisomy. Alongside he also started a new band together with Dennis Leeflang (drums) and Douwe de Wilde (bass, ex-Daeonia), called The Saturnine. The Saturnine turned out to be the perfect place for Eric to portray his songwriting skills. The band still exists today. In 2007 Eric offered his services to the Dutch/Mexican gothic metal band Stream of Passion. A band he currently still plays with as they prepare for their upcoming album.
