The Blood of Others by the Los Angeles band Witches Of God is a powerful blend of Stoner Rock and Doom Metal, deeply rooted in a vintage, occult atmosphere. Recorded entirely on analog equipment, the album delivers a raw, warm, and authentic retro sound driven by thick, fuzzy guitar riffs heavily inspired by early Black Sabbath. This crushing weight is balanced by the energetic edge of classic Los Angeles hard rock, vintage horror-movie synthesizers, and dynamic shifts between slow, brooding tempos and catchy, mid-tempo grooves.
A defining highlight of the record is its dark, cinematic storytelling and high-profile underground collaborations. The atmospheric vibe is perfectly captured on the standout track The Horror, which features iconic guest vocals from doom metal legend Scott "Wino" Weinrich (Saint Vitus). Overall, the album stands as a gritty, heavy, and nostalgic homage to 1970s proto-metal and occult rock.

This record is packed to the rafters with incredibly infectious riffs—sharp, inventive riffs that snare the listener like a stylish vocal hook. Furthermore, there’s a sort of furtively melodic touch to her fretplay, and it underscores the gothic atmosphere while avoiding soloing entirely.

Whether dwelling in the realm of dreams or nightmares, the primordial drive of the Newcastle-based band is more powerful than ever. Land Of Sleeper, their fourth record in a decade of riot and rancour, is testimony to this: the sound of a band not so much reinvigorated as channelling a furious energy, which only appears to gather momentum as the band’s surroundings spin on their axis.
