About Me

I'm Armand Knibbeler , 27 years old and I live in a quiet neighborhood in Nijmegen. My Fulltime job is at DHL / EXEL Supply Chain (also in Nijmegen). I’m an all-round warehouse employee for an American customer called AFFYMETRIX. More info about Affymetrix at www.affymetrix.com or at www.dhl.com . My greatest hobby in life is my music. Well this hobby went from bad to worse actually. I started out as a guitar player in a hardcore band called L.D.H back in 1996 .After a while I wanted more and turned the guitar in to a drum set. In January 1997 I was asked if I wanted to play drums in a band called Forced to Adapt. We did several hardcore shows and a little tour with Mordax and Disdaine in Holland. We also won a local talent show “the roos van Nijmegen in ‘97”. FTA broke up in 1999 after the terrible lose of the mother of our singer at that time. After a one year break I went along with the guys of Mindless and played there ever sins. Trough the years I supported a few singer-song writers with they're Demo/EP. It was an awesome experience for myself and as a musician.I was really into project back then so I took everything that got in my way. Even the project "Uit je dak". This project was really a wake up call for me. I supported theyre cd in the studio and did a 14 day tour with these guys. These people were homeless working towards a beter life. This was really the coolest project I ever did so thats guys for the great time. In 2005 I needed a change. After so many years I missed the hardcore approach of, the music, lifestyle, mutual respect in the scene and I wanted to make a fresh start in the scene again. So I created INTERO. 2005 was also the year that I joined the death metal band OBEAH. Anno 2007 all three bands are going strong. I’m playing about 24 shows a year and It’s being a blast so far ! I really enjoy to meet new musicians all over the world. And I hope people like my drum tracks / guitar riffs / songs. If you want to mail me or add me on MSN messenger -- ([email protected]), All my bands are in my top 8 on my myspace. Check them out and comment :) HAVE A GOOD ONE GUYS !! Greetz Armand Knibbeler
