"Denver's Khemmis traffic in longform doom metal, letting their anger spread gradually rather than unleashing it all in one torrent. It's an unlikely sound to gain wider attention, as it's resistant to translation and often encourages the depression that's consistent with its tempos ... Hunted, their second record, sees them making strides in finding their sound, with leads as poignant as their accompanying vocal work".

"Khemmis har som band blot fire år på bagen, og de debuterede sidste år med 'Absolution', som fik en del buzz i undergrunden og ved årets udgang blev hædret som en af årets 10 bedste plader af magasinet Decibel. Med 'Hunted' har de dog taget skridtet videre og står nu som lysende stjerner på en i forvejen blomstrende doom metal-scene. Men der er plads til det, for i Khemmis' musik er der mindre Black Sabbath og mere Iron Maiden, ligesom der i deres tekster er mindre bonghoved og mere troldmandsmytologi. Det er klassiske heavy metal-dyder, der holdes i hævd i Khemmis' heltemodige og guitarduellerende doom, og det kan man næppe sige meget dårligt imod, når det gøres så overbevisende som her".

"Khemmis was great before, but now they're deadly. By shifting direction toward classic doom and refining their vision and writing, they've unleashed a musical Kraken on the doom scene. Hunted is stronger than Absolution, and somehow more accessible too. My only question is, where do they go from here? This will be a tough act to follow, folks".
