    its before he says "and when i think of all he has done .."

    i cant undrstand wut he says

    I COULDNT FIND IT IN ITS LYRICS!!!

  • @CrimsonAncelot

    The source of all creation bro!

  • damn

    i love this band :)

  • OMFG finialy some1 that agrees with me. I dont have a religion, i dont care if their christian or not thats their choise. I STILL LOVE THIS BAND

  • That is EXACTLY how I am, I don't have a religion either, but this is the best band I have ever heard!

  • Christian death metal

  • r these guys christian

  • Yep! They're Christian metal.

  • MY band actually opened for them last night....

    John(guitarist) was a really cool guy...we talked for a bit...

    he liked me Queensryche tattoo so... he passed for awesome in my book :-)

  • Saw this band they were amazing.

  • I know this band WHOOOO!

  • Hellyeah goin to see them tonight!!!

  • Lucky.

  • it's actually christian death metal

    good band

  • theyre metalcore dude, not putting down just saying

  • Actually,they're BOTH. They could be considered either deathcore or progressive death metal. The way I describe them is Progressive Deathcore.

  • they are metalcore man...deathcore...not likely deathcore is more White Chapel and Suicide Silence. nice try tho.

    this is pretty basic christain metal core with a LITTLE death metal influence, i can see where ur confused tho.

  • Metalcore is stuff like Haste the Day, As I Lay Dying, Atreyu, etc. If this is anything other than deathcore, I'd say they're progressive death metal. I listen to a LOT of metalcore, and these guys are ANYTHING but basic metalcore.

  • i never said they were BASIC metalcore, they are deff. more progressed towards death metal or at least trying to be. i guess i can see what you mean tho.

  • who karez they rok doez it matta what they r

  • Just making a point man.

  • Deathcore? Most likely Jesus-core. And if you tell me that's not a genre, I'll start a band and that's what we'll be!

  • death core? please don't insult them that way

  • They're either deathcore or death metal. Of that I'm sure.

  • helll nah

    deathcore doesnt have the melodic sound these guys have

  • are they christians ?

  • yep

  • to my knowledge i think they are.

  • the best band that i have ever heard,so creative in their songs,and yet they remain the same after all these years,i will always love becoming the archtype

  • the back and forth over genres is rather dumb; but i happen to think this is metalcore, rather than death metal or tech death.

    oh, and was the guy in the pillory supposed to be symbolic of christ ? and why use hebrew lettering when most of your audience can't read it ?

  • Also, does anyone know if this is exhale/inhale screaming? It sounds like inhale to me.

  • definitely NOT inhale screaming. noone right in their mind would do that, anyway

  • it's exhale. only group i know of who does inhale screaming is impending doom, and they don't even compare to BTA in my opinion.

  • Haha, you beat me to it! Yeah, Inhale Exhale uses inhale.

  • in hale screaming is very faggot.

  • I think arguing to put bands into their slots of genre is a little overrated... if it's heavy and fast and good then listen to it

  • Who cares what it is. This band ROCKS!!!!!!! With a great message also.

  • i'm seein' these guys tommorow ^_^ i can't wait

  • im NOT** trying to scare u in to heaven**

  • but im trying to scare u in to heaven but hope u do listen and be a christian. : )

  • there christan im christan i think its good they prech between there songs there trying to let other ppl about jesus hopefully u ppl will listen so will spend eternaty in heaven not in hell. BTW nice vid and also 1 of my fav bands.

  • dude i don't take into acount religions and stuff. i don't care that they're all christian, and i'm jewish. i just listen for the great music that they make.

  • Finally, someone who appreciates music for music... I hate religion myself, but that shouldn't effect enjoyment of the songs.

  • i saw them at a show and they were pretty cool, but the preaching got annoying in between songs.

    i still think 2 completely opposite things can be one.

  • Honestly I think that it's really cool that all the band members are christian... and personally I like that but... for outside listeners... who look down on this kind of thing... I pity you if you don't listen to BTA becuase they are christian... it's good music...it's music thats put in the book of heavy metal.... plain and simple!

  • The basist does not have pentagram inlays on his fretboard, I 100% asure you that this band is Christain, two years ago on the undying tour I asked them. The olny guitar with something inlayed on the fretboard is alex, lead guitar, and it's little skulls. Go read the lyrics to all of the psysics of fire album. you will see they are christain...

  • dude this is a Christian band for all of u who dont think so u can look it up...

  • this song is reely good and the album rocks both o there albums rock

  • lol theyre a christian metal band

  • Well, yeah...they're a Christian Death Metal Band.

    I hate when people correct others saying, for example, "No, they're not metalcore, they're Christian Metal." Christian Metal shouldn't really be a genre...Christian simply defines the lyrics.

  • @StarWarsFanSWF exactlly. Finally.

  • This song is not even 3 minutes.

  • Hey Catalyst.....if you think Slayer is so Satanic what are you so fascinated with their lyrics. If I got offended by something I wouldn't keep checking it out I'd just shut the hell up and not listen to it anymore. Sheezzz....if you knew anything about Slayer (which I don't think you've even taken the time to check them out, other then their lyrics) you would know they are not Satanists, just like MetalGoth said. Tom Araya said that it's just a cool topic to sing about. "God hates us all"

  • but if you say "God hates us all," that just makes the argument of satanism easier to prove. not saying they, or you, are satanic but that just makes it a little easier to accuse people.

  • Slayer's bassist is a die-hard Christian.

  • LOL @ you

  • ? That's what he's said at least, nobody for sure but him.

  • Bull. Total bull. The song Jesus Saves? Oh no there's no way. Just an excuse. Rages of Angels said they were a Christian band to get money and get noticed. Hmmmm. Don't you think he'd have something to say about like all the anti-Christian lyrics? I'm sorry it makes no sense whatsoever. I live out by Apple Valley where their drummer lives and he says that he's Catholic. BULL!!!! Jimmy Page tried to hide his love for Satan but you can't hide crap like that.

  • his bass has pentagram inlays on the fretboard, you are retarded

  • LOL, they are hardcore Christians. Do you even know the lyrics to this song...or any of there songs?

    lyricsmode (DOT) com/lyrics/b/becoming_the_arch­etype/endure.html

  • LMAO...I wasn't saying hardcore as a genre, but rather that they're belief in christianity is very strong.

    And, not to argue, but I wouldn't say anything is tech metal...maybe it's just me, but that seems like one of those BS genres like mathcore that simply shouldn't categorize a band. If a band has extreme technical expertise, than that is simply a way of describing a band, but having genres that define them as being skilled...that's wierd.

  • its death metal

  • I know who Gorgoroth is. jeeezzzz

  • this life is an open wound! BTA I am addicted to you! You don't even dream about it!

  • thats a nice solo at 1:09

  • does any1 else think the lead singer looks like the lead charecter from 300?

  • lol if only he kicked one of the other band members into a well

  • I love the guitar solo around 1:20

  • Slayer is pretty damn satanic I quote from the song Cult of off their album Christ Illusion: There never was a Jesus Christ/there never was a sacrifice/ there never was a cruxifix/666!!!!!

    sounds pretty satanic to me

  • Slayer isn't a satanic bands, there just pretending to be. It's just a gimmick. If you want to know some real satanic stuff look up the video "Gorgoroth - Carving A Giant"

  • Slayer is satanic

  • No, it's all a gimmick. Kerry King is against christianity, but they don't go further than that.

  • whos saying slayer is satanic?? Christ you ppl *frown* there not stanic at all. they use very dark images and crap. theres a christian metal bands new CD "Horor" by With Blood Comes Cleansing with very dark images to any non intelegent non-christian would automaticly say they worship the devil. as do most non metal listeners... damn steriotipes

  • awesome.

  • Slayer are not satanic, or demonic...they just use the images and dark material to give off a sense of evil.

    I've got a list of true satanic bands, if you want to know which to avoid.

    I listen to it all. I take what I hear and read at face value. I am christian as well. Though I have a scientific perspective on it.

  • this band is amazing im a big fan of becoming the archetype cant wait intill they come to the uk

  • good band....

    Christian Death Metal??

  • i just bought the album kuz it was 5 quid, but had low expectations kuz of this song. Now i've got it i'm like WOW, this album is AWSOME, why did they make this song the single? there are so many better song than this on the album.

  • probably because it is intense, that speed riffage rules

  • Underoath aren't metal; their screamo and something like the Jonas Brothers combined.

  • LMAO, another retard. C'mon man, they have two deathcore albums, two metalcore albums...but you, like all the other IDIOTS out their, can only categorize them by listening to TOCS, their ONE screamo album. UGH.

  • obviously u pay too much about the back round of the music and need to actually need to listen to it

  • I'm sure there's something you're trying to say...but could you TRY and clarify? I didn't realize there was background music in songs.......

  • most people pay too much attention to wat the backround is about the music instead of actually listening to the music and its really dumb

  • Are you saying the instruments are the background and the vocals the foreground? Or maybe that the subtleties of music are the background? I really don't think you know what you're talking about, no offense. Music is much more then just the sum of it's parts, and if you don't listen to the less obvious and more complex melodies and harmonies, drum beats and rhythms, then you're probably missing a good part, if not the better part, of every song you listen to.

  • no not about the music about like wat the music about and who is in the band and always judging the band members and stuff like that\

  • Ah, I see what you're saying, and I totally agree with that. If it sounded like I was judging the members for something like that then I'm sorry...I think it's very annoying to me when people do that.

  • i know more about StarWars than you...

  • Um...sure?

  • How did Star Wars get on this page somehow?

  • Haha, not my fault...I don't know what sara16921692 is talking about.

  • i honestly think they have better songs on their album they could make a video of

  • awsome band, but they need to go back to their old style.

  • I agree with

    odirocks i didn't realize there was any real christian metal till to day. i've been looking but i've only found bands like under oath and desciple. to emo for my taste. i haven't been christian long so i'm used to mettalica and slayer. bands like that. i won't listen to slayer any more.

  • theres many christan metal bands like *As I Lay Dying * * Living Scarfice * UnderOath * Haste the Day* * Demon Hunter * And the list go's on

  • def. goes ON AND ON. lol to many to count for seriously

  • why not slayer some of the members are christian so they say.

  • back when i listened to slayer i got into what they're saying to much. i'm trying to become a stronger christian and albums like "god hates us all" don't help me much. they're good musicians but i've made my choice not to listen to them. its wierd. i never knew any of they're members claimed to be christin.

  • yeah i dont know i just picked that up somewhere maybe they are now or something but they wernt then idk, i really dont care i dont listen to slayer anyway so no difference for me lol.yeah i understand im trying to become more chirstian myself

  • yea im trying to make a band that sounds like the bands like cannibal corpse and stuff to minister to the ppl that will only listen to black metal and stuff

  • if your looking for alternatives

    the band Impending Doom sounds like cannibal corpse. And Living Sacrifice sounds alot like slayer.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm laughing sooo dang hard!!!!! Slayer... Christian. They are a openly satanic band, and all you have to do is watch some of there vids to see that. Yeah sorry man buit none of thise guys are christians.

  • alright i just saw it once someone left a comment abou slayer on a as i lay dying vid and they were like yeah they are chirstian so i didnt know i didnt really believe it but i was just making sure lol. thanks for telling me.

  • Lol, yeah man it's cool. Yeah, like As I Lay Dying is a hardcore christian band, one of my favorites for sure. But yeah Slayer is pretty outspoken on how they aren't Christian. Yeah well have a nice day.

  • its well known that tom is catholic.

  • haha pretty sure that was me who mentioned Slayer in a reply to an AILD vid. I didn't say they were christian, I was just saying how Lyrics mean more than music and how I only listen to christian metal because their christian, and I like metal, but not demonic metal like slayer.

  • slayer... defiantly is not demonic first of all.

    I happen to be a Christian and listen to slayer. They use the extreme death sense for shock factor.... and their vocalist/bassist happens to be a Catholic if that means anything..

  • yeah i read that on their site too. i think that's a load of crock. how can he be catholic when they have songs that say 'Hail Satan!' and songs that mock Jesus? ex. the song Jesus Saves.

  • yeah he is catholic but probably baptised at birth. so that's why he's labled that. He doen't practice his faith and goes against in completely so he has in no way salvation....................y­et.

  • yeah, your probably right about the salvation thing... i guess its really just where your heart is when you listen to none Christian stuff. whether it will cause you to stumble spiritually or not.

  • uh apparently dave mustaine, the frontman of Megadeth became a christian a couple years back...lots of their old fans wont admit it tho', but if you read the "Thank yous" the first person he thanx is God, and once you realize hes christian lots of the lyrics make sense in his newer albums like "the system has failed" and "united abominations"

  • Man, I swear I've heard this song somewhere before. Well, whatever, it's a great song regardless, and Becoming the Archetype is an amazing band.

  • MORTIFICATION, BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE AND STRYPER these are real "christian metal" bands (even though they're are different types of metal), not like you're emo type of bands...(//_-) \m/

  • lol pretty sure they are still christian if they don't have good music. By that logic, I'm not christian and I'm not going to heaven because I don't have an amazing christian metal band. haha. i love bad logics

  • hey underoath is my favorite band so all you haters just stfu

  • People can say what they want about Underoath, regardless as to whether they are your favorite band.

  • i'm not trying to say anything bad about under oath. they just aren't my taste. i have appreciation for all nusic but i don't like bands like underoath and disciple as much. some of my family gave their cd's. but i don't really like much of the newer metal. killswitch is good. i'm not sure it's christian but all of thy're songs r positive.

  • Nup not getting it, August Burns Red are better IMO.

  • Underoath blows hard. Ur just as stupid as them for fighting about it.

    LS TSD!!!

  • haha, i actually know alex kenis personally so it is weird to hear you guys talk about him

  • underoath isnt even metal so stfu you fucking fags

  • i agree underoaths riffs are to mindless and they are only "christian" for publicity

  • dont dis Underoath, they are one of my alltime fav bands, and they arent just Christian for publicity, they are Christian and mean what they say....so shut your gobs, you dont know what youre saying.

  • Yeah, because if Underoath kicked one of their members because he had premarital sex isn't Christian but for publicity.

  • dudes, we're arguin too much. cant we concentrate on wut this comment box is supposed to be about, recognizing BtA as an awesome band whose song "ENDURE" has an awesome guitar solo in it. im not tryin to offend anyone, but im just wondrin why we always gotta argue about somthin completely separate from the video. peace be with all of ya.

  • Quit fighting like a bunch of asses. Hes entitled to not like the band for whatever reason he has, however lame or valid it seems to be. When it comes to metal, it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks. That is the true spirit of this music, liking something because you like it and not giving a damn what anyone else says otherwise.

  • I understand that, I'm just trying to show him his argument is invalid! If anything, I am the kind of person who really has no inhibitions about his love of nuts music, I just get a bit overly enthusiastic about it. Sorry.

  • kick ass band! i've loved them since randomly picking up terminate damnation.  move over mushy extol!

  • for some reason i found its not the sound of becoming the archetype that i know of

  • christian hardcore is way better than secular hardcore, hands down.

  • What do you mean about the whole sleeping on sundays thing?

  • it's kind of the christians that are the progressive ones, most aren't seen but unfluence alot

  • Please, explain to me what it is you dont like about this. If it is the music then explain why, if it is the fact that they are christians, please get a life and don't hate on people because they believe something different to you. A good friend of mine from California remembers seeing As I Lay Dying at a club he worked at way back at the dawn of hardcore. Just one example of a christian band who have been around since pretty much the inception of a genre.A decent response from you now maybe?

  • It is not because they are Christian, I am all for freedom of religion. It is because they sound too cheery and good hearted to me. Metal, the way the Metal Gods intended it to be, can only exist if it takes a evil or neutral stand on religion. Metal, TRUE METAL, can't have a message of salvation through Jesus in it. It just can't. This is just Christians being intolerant and trying to convert what they see as wrong and perverse again.

  • How are christian metal heads intolerant? I assume you don't own The Physics of Fire, in the thankyou credits they name among other bands Cattle Decapitation. You think they would do that if they were intolerant? You are focussing way too much on the lyrics and not looking at the music. If you want christian music that doesnt sound cheery or good check out crimson thorn, antestor and mortification to name but a few. All they are doing is playing the music they love with the lyrics they love.

  • You have to focus on the lyrics, Deception. That is what differentiates the genres of metal, otherwise it is just instrumental. mrmikemusic, I think you're the stupid one here. Metal isn't only about being loud, there is so much more to it then that. And Black Metal is the exact opposite of Christian Metal. Furthermore, I am not claiming to own the rights to metal(if I had them, Christian Metal would not have been made), what I am saying is that Christians lack the proper soul to do metal.

  • Your argument seems to be changing, at first you were saying it is not because they are christian, but now it seems it is because they are christian... You need to understand this, the term "Christian Metal" is as broad as "Metal". Bands like Antestor (Christian BM/doom otherwise known as White Metal), Crimson Thorn (Death Metal), Crimson Moonlight (BM) are all christian! Infact bands such as Mayhem and Emperor tried to split Antestor up in the early '90s and failed...

  • ...And ironically, Hellhammer (Mayhem drummer) was their session drummer on their recent 2 releases. Also, check out Drottnar, awesome british Unblack Metal band. Please state whether your problem is with their faith or their music, because it seems to me as if you cannot take the fact that christians can write just as good black metal just about the antithesis of what BM is about. FOR A CROSS TO BE INVERTED, THERE HAD TO BE A CROSS TO INVERT.

  • the only pre-rec for metal is that its loud! further more they are singing about death and destruction whether it be through satin or Gods wrath, destruction by fire! i dont get more metal then that! and plus being a fan for a wile now i think they have a lot of black metal in them.... i dont think cheery when i think black metal

  • for some reaon i completely agree, though they go under the name of Christian metal, the attitude and performance screams everything but christianity but that in no way means that they arent any good because in truth they are vey good and its nice to know that they make killer music even though its labaeled 'christian' metal.

    -SOC

  • right cus you have th copyright on metal and only nonbelievers can listen or make it.....

    kinda stupid...

  • esta es la q mas me gusta de ese grupo

  • What sets any normal singing band apart from another singing band?

  • This song rocks my face off. To the extreme!

  • very choice

  • DEATH METAL!!!

  • Christian Life metal !

  • lol

  • Omgh!!! Did you see tht tapping!!! That was awesome

  • good music, I just hate the cookie monster vocals

  • It's called screaming.

  • Its called growling.

  • It is very passionate and vigorous thats why I like it

  • I guess thats why your name is FAQs guy, but what sets apart this from the thousands of other band that just scream, i mean besides the music, because i cant see any difference in screaming vocalists

  • The lyrics mean so much more to me in this form rather then the typical "metal high pitch"

    It's more of an expressive way of lyric.

  • these vocals are slightly lower than screamo and more masculine

    Bands like these (Demon Hunter) you get a great sound with meaningful lyrics.

    The only problem is they are sometimes hard to understand so I print off the lyrics to all the songs of the album that I buy. After just a little while it sticks with you and you can easily remember them when you casually listen to the songs.

    p.s. my name is FAQsguy because I write strategy guides (or FAQs) for a video game website.

  • wtf that sounded really stupid

  • i would say bta's vocals are some of the easiest to understand out of most bands that scream, growl, etc. but agree, looking at the lyrics do help sometimes.

  • Normal vocals would eliminate the possibility to experiment with unusual harmonies and cadences, it's alot more interesting than some of the shit you hear nowadays

    fuck boring music :)

    oh and by the way

    screaming is mint

  • ive got backstage to their show in atlanta tommorow!!!

  • Yarp all the way

  • underoath is in no way shape or form overrated, i agree this band needs more publicity, but underoath is frickin amazing

  • accually i do think uderoath is over rated......lol im the one who started this coversation like a moth ago lol and its still going kol,this is my new profile my old one was drummer kid!

  • ya underoeth is overated, in truth their music isnt as good as it could or should be

  • they were better with dallas
