Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 21, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Mark Holcomb! Another year shredding strings and melting faces—your riffs are aging better than fine wine. Ever since you joined Periphery full-time back in October 2011, you've been crafting progressive metal masterpieces that make our ears smile (and occasionally bleed). Your fretboard wizardry on albums like "Periphery III: Select Difficulty" and the recent brilliance of "Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre," proves you're not just playing guitar; you're redefining it.

Here's to another epic trip around the sun filled with mind-bending solos, hilarious tour antics, and endless debates about whether djent truly is—or isn't—a genre. Keep rocking hard enough to confuse music critics everywhere!
