Happy Birthday to our fearless leader and creator of the mad universe I’m so blessed to be a part of 🥳. Thanks for including me as a part of your world, inspiring me to become better every day and leading by example, just by being yourself 🤘❤️.

In honor of today, here’s a series in pictures:

1. Bruce suggests I play a flat 13th of the V-chord, resolving it to the major 9th of the I-chord.

2. Bruce is happy with the result.

3. When attempting to replicate this live, I fail miserably and go for the shred instead. Bruce proceeds to yell at me in fury.

4. Our amazing photographer and videographer Antoine de Montremy convinces Bruce to keep me in the band, as long as I play it right next time. We take a great picture together.

Happy birthday, boss. Thanks for being epic 🙏❤️.

Shred in hellfire – check ☑️🔥🎸

One of the unicorn guitars I own – my trusted Gibson 7-string Flying V.

I have since modified it by swapping the pickups for some great Lundgren Pickups. An incredible Swedish brand. This guitar shreds, rips and reeks of mojo. It covers all the bases for what I need, be it with Bruce Dickinson or Erik Grönwall.

On this day in 2024, I came home from the biggest adventure of my life, but also the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced.

As some of you already know, we kicked off the tour in support of ’s ‘The Mandrake Project’ in April 2024. The day before I left for tour, I had just become a father for the first time. My wife and I literally welcomed our son to this world and 12 hours later, I was in a taxi straight from the hospital to the rehearsal space and off on a tour that lasted close to four months.

Thanks to being surrounded by the world’s best boss, first lady, band mates, crew and gear family, this tour wasn’t just bearable; it was an enjoyable, unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience. Along with the incredible love and support from my wife .holm and the inspiration of having a beautiful baby boy waiting for me at home, I was able to convert the pain of missing my family into something positive – inspiration and drive, so I could thrive like I never have before.

I’m eternally grateful for this experience, for my family and for what Mandrake Madness the future holds 🩵.

A handful of epic shreds left on this Husvagnssemester 🤘😤🎸. After that, I’m off to wrap 2026 and set up for a flying start of 2027.

Thanks everyone who’s sent love and support, be it at shows, in the studio or here on social media. I appreciate every single one of you 🙏.
