Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on November 17, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Paul! May your day be filled with riffs heavier than a dragon's hangover and artwork darker than Dracula’s wardrobe. From shredding epic solos with Cradle of Filth to conjuring haunting visuals in "Vomitorium: The Dark Art Of Cindy Frey And Paul Allender," you've proven that creativity knows no bounds—or brightness settings.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success, inspiration, and perhaps fewer nightmares (unless they're artistically useful). Keep rocking stages and canvases alike; the world needs your unique blend of metal madness and graphic genius. Cheers to another trip around the sun—stay wickedly awesome!
