Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on May 06, 1981)

Happy birthday, Matt Drake—metal maestro of Evile and relentless shredder! May your celebrations be louder than "In Dreams Of Terror," more epic than "Eternal Empire," and definitely topped with enough candles to rival a pyrotechnic stage display. You’ve screamed, shredded, and thrashed your way into our metal hearts; you even make headbanging look effortlessly graceful.

From tearing stages apart worldwide to giving us riffs unforgettable enough for eternal replay—your dedication is as timeless as denim jackets covered in patches. Cheers Matt! Keep rocking harder each year; may today's party out-metal every gig you've dominated before (good luck neighbours!).
