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.
