Heaven’s Metal: 5 Questions with Seth Metoyer
Episode 2 – Jimmy Sorrells (Heaven’s Metal / Christian Metal Group)
In Episode 2 of Heaven’s Metal: 5 Questions with Seth Metoyer, Heaven’s Metal Magazine Assistant Editor Seth Metoyer sits down with Jimmy Sorrells, writer for Heaven’s Metal and admin of Christian Metal Group on Facebook.
This conversation gets into the roots of Christian metal, the rush of discovering new bands versus the pull of the classics, and the ongoing role Christian Metal Group continues to play in the scene. Along the way, the discussion also digs into what Christian metal is really about: ministry, community, confrontation, art, or maybe all of it crashing together at once.
And because no great civilization survives without asking the hard questions, the episode also addresses one of the most important debates of our age: Bob the Tomato or Larry the Cucumber in a fight?
In this episode:
- The origin story — when Christian metal first clicked, and the band or moment that made it feel personal
- Old favorites vs. new discoveries — whether the thrill of finding new bands still hits, or if the classics keep calling louder
- Inside Christian Metal Group — the role CMG plays and why it still matters in the scene
- What Christian metal is really about — ministry, community, confrontation, art, or a collision of all of it
- Bob the Tomato vs. Larry the Cucumber — the theological and cultural showdown nobody asked for, but everyone needed
This series, Heaven’s Metal: 5 Questions with Seth Metoyer, features artists, writers, label owners, radio hosts, and community builders who continue to shape Christian metal across generations.
