Blood of Gods: Metal. Mayhem. Wine.

Decant the darkness. Hail the grape.

“Blood of Gods lifted that veil and showed that wine—even really good wine—needn’t be taken quite so seriously and has united artists, winemakers and musicians.”

—Wine Enthusiast Magazine

 Blood of Gods is a thunderous tribute to the unlikely harmony between two seemingly distant worlds: heavy metal and wine. This lavishly illustrated collection brings together original essays, interviews, artwork, and wine recommendations from a lineup of iconoclasts, vintners, and metalheads who thrive on passion, rebellion, and ritual.

Featuring bold full-color art from luminaries like Josh Bayer, Ed Luce, and Dan Zettwoch, alongside deep-dive contributions from celebrated sommeliers, writers, and winemakers—including Paul Grieco, Marie Cheslik, Ronnie Sanders, and Justin Moore. Insights from metal legends like Dani Filth, Satyr, Maynard James Keenan, and Greg Anderson (Sunn O))) elevate this tome into sacred territory.

Whether you swirl your Syrah to Sabbath or sip your Riesling to Raunchy, Blood of Gods dismantles gatekeeping and elitism with wit, guts, and glorious devotion. This is a zine-born testament to those who drink with intention and scream with soul.

Blood of Gods, the brainchild of Stacy Buchanan, started in 2020 as a biannual print magazine, celebrating the shared obsession, passion, and creativity found in both heavy metal and wine. Come, meet us here where the wine meets the riff.
