One thing led to another and I asked him, &#8220;What if we made a special 40th Anniversary edition of Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine, which could also serve as a program guide of sorts. That&#8217;s how this one-time return to print came to be.&#8221; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/heaven-s-metal-magazine-40th-anniv-issue\/156\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER HERE<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 14-man Heaven&#8217;s Metal karew (aka editorial team) quickly rolled its sleeves up and started crafting original articles for this print edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI recently just joined the team,\u201d said Christian Metal Group founder Jimmy Lamar Sorrells, \u201cand it has been an honor to work with these guys. I love supporting and promoting these bands in the metal scene and what better way to do than with an amazing&nbsp;print magazine for the 40th anniversary&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Designing a <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine<\/em> cover has been a lifelong dream,&#8221; said Seth Metoyer, President of Broken Curfew Records, &#8220;especially for the 40th anniversary issue. It was an absolute joy interviewing Dale from Bride and Rey from Sacred Warrior for this special edition. The entire <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal<\/em> team&nbsp;poured countless hours into this release, and I hope the passion, legacy, and sense of community we&#8217;ve all built together in the Christian metal scene shines through for all the fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about time <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine<\/em> was back in print,&#8221; said Chris Gatto, who is pictured in the new issue as a sword-bearing viking in a kilt (check out the &#8220;Meet the Karew&#8221; page when you get this issue). &#8220;Make paper magazines a thing again!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so cool to see <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal<\/em> in physical print again after all these years,&#8221; said Loyd Harp.&nbsp;&#8220;I started reading the magazine as a teenager in the late 80s, and getting to work on this issue has been really rewarding.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not everyone on the team was happy, though. &#8220;I&#8217;m stoked that Heaven&#8217;s Metal is back in actual print now,&#8221; said Jason McLaren. &#8220;I&#8217;m sad I couldn&#8217;t contribute to this one as much as I liked in terms of extreme metal coverage, but it&#8217;s all about Immortal Festival, so it&#8217;s all good. As someone who still buys actual physical copies of albums, it&#8217;s so good to see a physical metal mag coming down the pipes as well!&#8221; Like the rest of the karew, McLaren was able to contribute as a proofreader and vocal member of the steering committee, as it were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is the first issue in print with the mighty fine modern <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal<\/em> logo on the front,&#8221; said Van Pelt. It will be available at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmieventcenter.com\/immortal-fest-2025-part-i-july-25-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Immortal Festival I<\/a> weekend, which kicks off on July 25 in Versailles, Ohio. It will also be available while supplies last at the HM Press <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online store<\/a>. A few other online retailers will be carrying it, too. Loyd Harp&#8217;s store, <a href=\"https:\/\/girdermusic.com\/\">Girder Music<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BoonesOverstock\">Boone&#8217;s Overstock<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Roxx.Productions\">Roxx Productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People have asked,&#8221; explains Van Pelt, &#8220;if this means Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine is back in print &#8211; like permanently. That is not the plan. If you only knew the machinery needed to make that happen (editorial effort, advertising sales, retail sales, postal permits, just to name a few hurdles necessary), you&#8217;d know that this party and celebration is a moment. Anything can happen, of course, but we just want you to know that the plans for this is a one-time publication to celebrate our 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There are lots of ideas up in the air, though. Printing volumes of <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal Magazine<\/em> archives by year, maybe in hardback. I&#8217;ve been thinking about doing a Back Page collection of all those back page graphics and messages that were on the back of each issue.* And how knows? Maybe we&#8217;ll celebrate our 41st anniversary next summer!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<br>&#8220;Just in case you were wondering what the two different cover images represented, this 40th Anniversary special edition is a <strong>&#8216;double-flip&#8217; cover<\/strong>, or as some call it, a &#8216;<strong>flipbook<\/strong>.&#8217; I did this over the years with some issues (like <em>HM <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-122\/78?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#122<\/a> with <strong>Pillar <\/strong>&amp; <strong>Skillet<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/HM-127\/111?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#127<\/a> with <strong>As I Lay Dying<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Paramore<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-131\/112?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#131<\/a> with <strong>P.O.D.<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Showbread<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-132\/70?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#132<\/a> with <strong>War of Ages<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Kutless<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-133\/121?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#133<\/a> with <strong>Underoath <\/strong>&amp; <strong>Anberlin<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-137\/75?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#137<\/a> with <strong>mewithoutYou<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Zao<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-139\/76?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\">#<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-139\/76?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">139<\/a> with <strong>Skillet <\/strong>&amp; <strong>White Collar Sideshow<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/hm-issue-149\/66?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#149<\/a> with <strong>August Burns Red<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Sleeping Giant<\/strong>), and even with the <em>Heaven&#8217;s Metal Fanzine<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/product\/heaven-s-metal-fanzine-71\/138?cp=true&amp;sa=false&amp;sbp=false&amp;q=false&amp;category_id=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#71<\/a> with <strong>Once Dead<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Eternal Ryte<\/strong>. It made it easier to &#8216;spread the love,&#8217; so to speak, when it was hard to decide whether to put Pillar or Skillet on the cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of those &#8220;flipbook&#8221; issues listed above are still available in limited supply in print at the <strong>original cover prices<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/hm-press.square.site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HM Press<\/a> &#8230; along with this special 40th anniversary edition.
