"I believe in myself and in the strength of the human mind." - Simone Simons
Simone is an inspiration to me, and many other women, because she breaks the "regulations" and barriers of metal music by being one of the few frontwomen of metal today. She uses her melodic voice to bring about a new light about the metal spectrum, and has opened the eyes of many in a male-dominated metal world, proving that if women can be and enjoy metal while still remaining feminine, they really can do anything.
