Metalhead of the Month is exactly what it says on the tin – each month, Loucifer Speaks will feature a short, yet sweet interview with a different metalhead. The questions will remain more or less the same, but I have the feeling that we will find ourselves with some supremely diverse answers. I will be choosing Metalheads via the Loucifer Speaks forum, our Facebook page, our Twitter page and our Google+ page. Basically, if I’ve had a little chat with you and I think you’re interesting, I will ask you if you want to take part in this.

Below you will find our first Metalhead of the Month. Why is Simon the first? Well, he helped me to come up with the idea. So, credit where credit’s due! THANKS DUDE!!!
