Chris Gatto\u2019s Top 24 Albums of 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the passing of each new year comes the opportunity to reflect on the Christian metal music that was released in the past year. What banged my head and moved my soul? What did not? Inevitably albums slip through the cracks, and it is always interesting to read my peers\u2019 top albums list and see what they picked. Want to stay on top of new music and find new favorites? A great resource to do just that is to listen faithfully to Heaven\u2019s Metal Streaming Radio. Keven Crothers has done a bang up job of keeping the station chock full of the latest and greatest rock and metal tunes, and as the new station manager, I will endeavor to do the same. Keeping my ears to yesterday and my eyes to tomorrow\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
