Another good answer. Stargazer is history’s Greatest track
Was just gonna speak up for First & Second -- worth getting in my opinion.
My feeling is that if you like a band and want more you should go back to the beginning - see how they started and hear the progression to where the are now - or where they ended.
(that being said, I'm a completionist, so having gaps in a bands discography gets my OCD worked up)
It's been sitting over here taunting me for well over a week now - but because I'm hearing not great things I've put it off. Haven't streamed any of it, so I don't know what I'm gonna hear once I put it on.

Here’s how I see the clues for Khemmis
Khemmis - Hunted
1. Genre - metal/Metal Adjacent
Khemmis is categorized as doom metal, sludge metal, and heavy metal
2. Release post-July 1, 1994
Released October 21, 2016
3. Critically acclaimed
Among other things, named 11th best metal album of 2016 by Rolling Stone, Decibel’s #1 best album of the year, Metal Nexus and Metal Injectiondeclared it one of the best albums of 2016.
4. Grand Funk Railroad video “We’re an American Band”
Khemmis is an American band
5. Red white and blue on the cover
Red-blood on swords
White-beard
Blue-almost everything else
6. Legal cannabis
Khemmis is a Colorado band. Cannabis is legal in Colorado.
7. Wizards movie trailer (clarified to be related to artwork in the package and there may be a deeper meaning if you look in the right places)
There’s a wizard dude on the cover.
8. Mushroom cloud from nuclear detonation
Khemmis signed with Nuclear Blast
9. Released in the last 10 years.
It was released in 2016
10. The band has an album that has hit a Billboard chart
Desolation landed on a US Billboard chart
11. Visigoth’s Traitor’s Gate video
The font and artwork is similar. Hunted has the song Three Gates (so there’s a gate overlap). Visigoth’s Traitor’s Gate was on their album Conqueror’s Oath which was mastered by Dave Otero. Dave Otero did the mastering (and mixing and producing) on Hunted.
EDIT: visigoth also has a song called the Revenant King. Seems like the cover of Hunted could be of a Revenant King.
12. Orange
Khemmis uses (or at least has used Orange amps) and provided quotes about the quality of that equipment on Orange Amplification’s site.

Dunno! I haven’t gone through the other bands yet and I still don’t really know what the Visigoth clue really relates to!
That being said, it won’t HURT to order Khemmis! It’s a good album!

There’s a wizard dude on the cover. They were also on a tour called “speed of the wizard.”
8. Mushroom cloud from nuclear detonation
Goatfish specifically denied that the clue necessarily referenced the Nuclear Blast record label.
The name of this band is “High on Fire.”
The nuclear detonation literally shows “high being on fire.”

The album charted.
11. Visigoth’s Traitor’s Gate video
