History

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 the Christian metal movement.

It has been suggested that unblack metal be merged into this article or section. ...

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.
