Hi! my name is Koen.
I'm a full-time rockstar.
I sing in Ashes Of Many.
I'm a part-time designer.
Sometimes I take pictures too.
I enjoy writing lyrics.
My interests: Tattoo's, Piercings, metalcore/hardcore, cats, cats, cats, skateboarding, live shows.
Look me in the eyes, swallow your pride.
Tell me what you think of me.
Can’t you see all I need is a breath of fresh air
From the bullshit you keep feeding me
I know I’m a suspect as much as a victim
At least I’ve got the balls to admit
After all that I said
After all that I’ve done
I still know I’m this piece of shit
- Your Demise
Singer Eric Kalsbeek has left Textures to focus on his job and his family. He’s issued the following statement:
“Dear fans & friends,
I decided to quit Textures. My life changed, priorities shifted. I can’t cope with the heavy touring and the time investment anymore. I need to focus on my job and family. I need to take a few steps back. I’ve had six beautiful years with the band, did loads of amazing shows, made tons of new friends and created some mind-blowing music. I’m going to miss the guys, and of course you, the fans. I know Textures will continue to conquer the world and give you all great, heavy and awesome music. I wish my successor all the best.
I will keep on making music, but something totally different, much more low-profile. Maybe we will meet again. Eric out”

Wednesday - January 6, 2010
After a lovely night watching Scrubs and Ben & Jerry’s with my dearest girlfriend, I decided to stay there for the night. I felt great when I woke up.
I quickly gathered my clothes and kissed my girl goodbye. She’s so beautiful when she sleeps! <3 I came downstairs and my GF’s parents where already awake. I grabbed my bicycle and cycled to my house. It’s a 15 minute drive from my girlfriend, so enough time to wake up. It was freeeeeeeeezingly cold outside and my ears where about to fall off, but I made it home. A quick shower, a nice bowl of milk and cheerio’s (oh god there is that song again) and off to the intern.
Today I was asked to take some pictures, but I still have to wait for a driver.
I guess she catched the flu since she’s always the one who’s here first.
Tonight is Dental Issues Rehearsal time again!
It’s my favourite night of the week, since I love my band!
make sure you check it out @ http://myspace.com/dentalissues
We’re currently completing our setlist and have some shows planned this year. I can’t wait to hit the stage!
Anyway.
I just sipped away my first coffee of the day.
Going to check my email and dA stuff before I start this day of work.
Regards,
Koen
Tonight Sab’s and I will be leaving for this relaxing weekend to Egmond!
Just a few more hours, then we will be heading to the train station.
There are some things I surely forget, so I made this monsterous checklist.
Tonight is going to be stressful, we have to catch the 18:04 train, and I still have to pack some stuff.
But on the other hand, It’s gonna be awesome. We’re going to walk on the beach (even if it rains) take pictures (hundreds) watch “Scrubs” and “How I Met Your Mother” and just be happy.
Can’t wait!
Next Week Sab’s, Pim, Tim and I are going to see August Burns Red, Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember! Expecially August Burns Red is one of my favourites so I think I’m going to buy out their merch shop :P
Bring Me The Horizon Is fair, I love their music but I heard they suck live. I Don’t care, as long as they make party It’s fine with me. It’s very hard to preform that kind of music live.
Oh happy Days <33
The weight fills my lungs again
Like a rushing tide, I tried to escape this
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
For you I’ve inhaled water
For this, I gave everything
Just to make you understand
I’m just a shell
Fragments of a dream
Pieces of a broken man
Is what remains of me
I’ve eluded the mouths of a thousand desperate sharks, just to present my flaws
only to be humiliated by what I could not offer you
I’m just a shell
Fragments of a dream
Pieces of a broken man
Is what remains of me
I’m incomplete, incompatible. You don’t have to rub it in.
You sank my self worth.
You were the anchor to a waterlogged vessel and I could never repay the debt I owe
Where would I be without you, pinning me to the ground?
I’ve eluded the mouths of a thousand desperate sharks, just to present my flaws
only to be humiliated by what I could not offer you
This is all for you..
I’m just a shell
A fragment of a dream
Pieces of a broken man
Is what remains of me
