Since its first issue in 2020, Blood of Gods, the biannual print publication celebrating the intersection of heavy metal and wine, has continually blurred the lines between genre and craft, rebellion and obsession. This imaginative cross-pollination has earned acclaim from both music and wine publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Sip Magazine, and Decibel, landing its publisher, Stacy Buchanan, a spot on Imbibe Magazine’s annual, tastemaking “Imbibe 75” list, highlighting, ”The people and places we think will inspire the way we all drink in the year to come.” As well as Wine Enthusiasts "Future 40" list.
