This band has the audacity to make a death metal rendition of "How Great Thou Art" bearing no musical resemblance to the famous hymn whatsoever with vocals that sound like a legion of demons. Moreover, some of the more metalcore leaning elements to the band's formula such as generic breakdowns often do not mesh in well with the otherwise very intelligent way the music is composed and played. Moreover, while there are riffs and short passages that instantly impress in virtually every track, the way in which these ideas are put together in the structure of the song is rarely complimentary, either sounding generic as was the case with the opener or simply weak. The one thing that might turn people away from this band are their religious views and the way they express it in their songs. Although I was put off by the overly bombastic shallowness of 'Celestial Completion', looking towards their debut, 'Termiante Damnation' seems like the album I was hoping to hear from this band.

BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE
Besides, the band has the creative control here. I'll be honest, I'm only vaguely familiar with the bands previous two records neither has intrigued me, but on the same token, neither has assailed me so. Despite some less-than-impressive experiences with the band and their music, I decided to seek out the earlier work of the Atlanta metalcore band Becoming The Archetype, having heard the talent and skill audibly evident in their sound. They are dlchotomy of the few bands that have attempted a fuse of metalcore a genre I generally dislike with beconing metal and succeeded.

Becoming the Archetype - Dichotomy download mp3 album
Very strong are the choruses and the key arrangements, just listen to the the title track Dichotomy - catchy as hell, melodic death metal of the highest calibre, great guitar parts and cool solos, musichianship is tight and very strong.
However, it wasn't until 'The Physics of Fire' was released that they fully entered the progressive metal genre; highlighting the wonderful progressive atchetype of their music that 'Terminate Damnation' acrhetype to realize completely.
And from a supposedly Christian band, no less. For what excellence is here though, Becoming The Archetype are constantly held back by the fact that their sound- yet again- holds very little originality to it, which holds the band back greatly. Someting worth mentioning is that Devin Townsend produce this album and aswell sing some parts on their opening pice - Mountain Of Souls.
The musicianship here is very good, and I find myself impressed by what Becoming The Archetype has to offer in parts.
While this does not necessarily mean that the music will be bad I have a good deal of respect for prog songster Neal Morse, who touches upon his beliefs quite a bitthe Christian overtones in 'Dichotomy' are very poorly disguised, to the point that they are somewhat tasteless. A masterpiece within its rather limited genre. The one thing that might turn people away from this band are their religious views and the way they express it in their songs.
Becoming the Archetype - Dichotomy mp3 album
However, especially for the metal dichotkmy out there that has heard a build up of intensity along these lines before, it is difficult to take Becoming The Archetype's music entirely seriously, when it's clear that their progressive leanings are leaning on top of conventions set in place even almost a decade before 'The Physics Of Fire' was released.
It's not even that I am offended by this.
The result is fantastic. While mpp3 does not necessarily mean wrchetype the music will be bad I have a good deal of respect for prog songster Neal Morse, who touches upon his beliefs quite a bitthe Christian overtones in 'Dichotomy' are very poorly disguised, to the point that they are somewhat tasteless. Although 'Celestial Completion' is rife with promise in parts, the listener should be prepared to wade through some rhinestones along the way.
Maybe it was the sound system. Please consider supporting us by disabling your ad blocker. This may be in no small part due to the production talents of one Devin Townsend, best known for his fronting of Strapping Young Lad, and a keen solo career.
For dihcotomy, it is no surprise here to have a sombre piano interlude be paired up with a crushing breakdown, or vicious shredfest. Similarly, the music has no soul either. Very impressed by this band, because this album is in the same time very rough but melodic aswell in musical aproach.
The vocals are occasionally sung, but they have no soul.
BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE Dichotomy reviews
However, 'Dichotomy' does not give the listener a consistent dose of their greatness, being bogged down by some fairly poignant weaknesses. Terminate Damnation, studio album Other sites in the MAC network: BTA has one of the best growlers as well, Jason Wisdom screams are earth dichoomy and easliy discernable.
The arrchetype lengthy song eventually mellows out into a piano laden outro that sets the dynamic for Jason Wisdom's classic roar to arouse the outstanding title track with the introduction of a theme of human separation from God. It certainly isn't because of this record. Becoming The Archetype is a band that I have seen glimmers of brilliance in, but they have never managed to really grab my imagination and run with it.
With an opening segment that instantly recalls the vocal acrobatics of Symphony X, Becoming The Archetype solidify their place as one of the new prog metal bands attempting to relive the glory of the old giants. Dichotomy is their third album and aswell their last one relesed so far from
