Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on January 28, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Matt DeVries! From shredding riffs with Chimaira to laying down thunderous grooves in Fear Factory and Six Feet Under, you've proven that metal isn't just music—it's a lifestyle. Your bass lines are heavier than Thor's hammer and your rhythm guitar skills tighter than skinny jeans at an emo concert.

Here's hoping this year brings you more epic tours, legendary collaborations like Roadrunner United (seriously iconic!), and fewer moments of fans mistaking headbanging for whiplash injuries. Keep rocking hard enough to scare the neighbors but not quite loud enough for noise complaints!

Stay brutal—and have an awesome birthday!
