Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on March 25, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Anders Fridén! May your day be louder than an In Flames encore and smoother than your drum fills. From pioneering melodic death metal to rocking stages worldwide, you've screamed and drummed your way into our hearts—proving that age is just a number (and volume knobs go up forever).

Whether it's the relentless energy of "Clayman," the powerful melodies in "Come Clarity," or exploring new sounds with Passenger, you continue to inspire us all. Here's hoping this year brings even more epic riffs, unforgettable shows—and perhaps fewer sore throats after concerts.

Keep roaring strong; cheers!
