Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on January 30, 1974)

Happy Birthday, John Zwetsloot! From shredding riffs with Dissection to unleashing epic melodies in Cardinal Sin, your guitar skills have always been sharper than a Viking's axe. Whether you're conjuring dark harmonies or blazing solos for The Haunted and Nifelheim, you've proven that metal isn't just music—it's an art form you masterfully command.

Here's hoping your birthday is louder than a sold-out gig and more legendary than your iconic compositions. May the coming year bring even greater riffs, endless inspiration—and perhaps fewer broken strings mid-solo!

Keep rocking hard enough to scare away aging itself—cheers to another timeless year ahead!
