Blood of Gods (Stacy Buchanan)

Wine and Heavy Metal—seems like an unlikely combo, right?

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. This "best of" book is a curated collection of original art, essays, interviews, wine reviews and recommendations that stand the test of time. It also includes new and never-before-seen sketches, progress/process illustrations, alternate versions, unpublished art, and more—all compiled into a stunning art book meets compendium’ by a murderer’s row of artists.
