Touch of Eternity was formed on August 2010 by two musicians, who started their studies at Kaustinen's college of music at the same time. Those two, Ollipekka Toimela and Riku Laajala eventually ended up gathering a full line-up and start making something very original. The line-up was quickly filled, due to progressing around the music college areas. Faster than anyone could have thought, had Touch of Eternity composed four tracks full of desolation. The lyrics in those four songs exuded darkness and all the depression you have suffered from day to day all your life.
