What if it’s not an orange amps clue but is instead a coat of arms clue?

It’s not coat of arms. Has something to do with Orange

Metallica- St. ANGER

If Orange isn’t amp related it could still potentially be Gold & Grey by Baroness as that album has a primarily orange colour and was supposed to be called Orange until the 11th hour. But I gather @Goatfish ’s lack of complaints about its removal mean that the dream is over on this front.


EDIT - I just notice that @duke86fan has already highlighted this. Of course she has. Maybe I should put them back in to the possibles?

 

[Goatfish]

if everyone wants to briefly discuss and figure out a representative (@duke86fan ?) to ask (2) clarifying questions about (2) existing hints, I’ll answer them later today. One clarifying question per hint, that is.

Be careful because if they require too much info or they multi-pronged I’m gonna pull my best storf impression.

PS I had post #666 in this thread and that was unintentional but it totally made my day.

This is on Power Trip's Wikipedia page:

I didn’t get the full context of the Power Trip conversation but I wanted to interject. They are one of my favorites metal acts going right now. I typically favor doom/stoner metal but these guys really nail the Thrash/Hardcore style. They remind me a bit of another Texas metal band, Pantera (though, I have a feeling you be much less likely to see a swastika tattoo at a PT show).

Thrash was all but dead in my mind until Power Trip came along. They are doing awesome things in the scene. I also usually favor stoner/doom but most people can agree on Power Trip being awesome (hardcore guys/metalheads/doom heads).

Looks like Khemmis is still alive...and looks like they use the exact cabinet that @Goatfish posted: https://orangeamps.com/artist/khemmis/

3. This album received critical acclaim and was on many year-end lists either/both immediately following release and/or in retrospect.

This one seems that it would rule out Gold & Grey

 

[Murfocakes]

Seconded. Dukey is our savior of the guess threads.

Yes agreed on @duke86fan doing the questioning. I want to get my preorder in...

 

[Murfocakes]

Has it been guessed yet @Goatfish ? We’re nearing 100 guesses now. Do we need to hit that magic number or do we go on to 666.

If @duke86fan wants to use that as one of the clarifying questions I'll answer it

Ok i’ll ask you another question. Undoubtedly Dio is the voice and personification of metal. What’s his best album?

a) Rainbow Rising
b) Heaven and Hell
c) Mob Rules
d) Holy Diver
e) Last In Line
f) Dehumanizer

A brave answer. It’s also the only one I don’t have on vinyl. Keep an eye out for a reasonably priced one my metallic children
