Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on February 16, 1962)

Happy birthday to the legendary John Balance! May your day be as delightfully experimental and wonderfully unpredictable as a Coil album. Your fearless exploration of industrial minimalism, neofolk melodies, and sonic landscapes has inspired countless listeners—and probably confused just as many neighbors.

From pioneering groundbreaking albums like "Horse Rotorvator" to mesmerizing audiences with unforgettable live performances, you've consistently pushed musical boundaries. Here's hoping this year brings you even more creative adventures—perhaps another masterpiece that leaves us all pleasantly bewildered? Keep turning life's volume knob up past eleven; after all, subtlety was never really your style anyway. Cheers!
