Articles include news, reviews and interviews with Christian artists. The recurring "So and So Sez" interviews focus on artists who are often are not Christians who play in secular bands, in order to discuss their music, upcoming tours, albums, and to determine their views on [[Jesus Christ]] and other spiritual matters.

| − | [[Doug Van Pelt]] began the publication in the summer of [[1985]] under the name ''Heaven's Metal''. The name was changed to ''HM Magazine'' in [[1995]], where the HM can also represent "Hard Music". Despite name and format changes over its history, the magazine's spiritual focus remains identifiably Christian, as it follows both the [[Christian Rock]] and the [[Christian Metal]] movement.

| − | On [[October 2004]], Van Pelt brought back the ''Heaven's Metal'' name by starting a new [[fanzine]] under that title. Christianity and hard music are also themes of this venture, but produced in a smaller, less formal format. The ''Heaven's Metal'' fanzine also focuses on the more tradional styles of heavy metal and bands that are not as mainstream as those featured in the ''HM Magazine''. The ''Heaven's Metal'' fanzine is released between issues of the primary ''HM Magazine''.
