  • Its not the full song.

  • Really beautiful.

  • Christian or not.It's a great album!

  • You could have put the whole song up!

  • 3:09 - 4:04!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best part!

  • Use to be able to to scream like that..miss it :\

  • hail satan

  • its a good song satanist that i am!

  • i have known about this band for about 6 years and they still are my fav.!!! :)

  • this shit is plain BORING, christian or not.

  • Drums from 1:20-1:40 are epic.

  • this whole album is metal music masterpiece 

  • they need a better drummer

    

  • This didn't put Jesus in me, but I dig the song anyways.

  • Hail Satan

  • @HailLuzifer fail

  • @JR0dz HAIL

  • @HailLuzifer never

  • *SIGH* Where did this sound go...... The new shit sucks ass

  • @craigme they have four memebers now, but this picture is when they first got together, the only ones still in the band out of this picture is Jason(vocals), duck(drums), and Seth(keyboard/guitar)

  • uh, i thought there were only four member :/

  • some baptist lady i work with says there is no such thing as christian rock. i said what the heck at first and then i listened to becoming the archetype, august burns red, and others and the lyrics are almost the same as them giddy up raise your hands for jesus. its like theyre cryingg for jesus and screaming worship to show people that it is real. i think christian metal is for the people that dont hear it :)

  • Love the inclusion of Ryan Clark in this song

  • @TheIndyColt Ryan Clark Is awesome :P it's kinda funny my friends name is Ryan Clark

  • only if i knew what they were saying

  • @jab1648 lol

  • i wish i could listen to bands without the whole "being a christian band" thing being a big deal.

  • @pimphatandcoat The bands like this one and The Famine try that but all these comments are like "they're christian and awesome" would kinda turn off atheists from listening to it. They make a big deal out of it.

  • YEAAHH great !!!

  • there are south African people listening to this song...rock on south arfican buddies

  • OMG this fuck ...

  • @horarp te 1 buzerált fos vagy^^ gyenge hardrockerxd oh peope=shit! yeah metaaaaal!

  • amzaing pig squeal! :D

  • God made man. then man made metal. Religion just rocks.

  • how do i post my vocal cover as a video response to this!? :D

  • @BlitzkriegxDeathx666 just because i have "metalcore" in my name doesnt mean i am a poser. I love any kind of metal and i want people to know it.

  • I know God loves this music as much as i do b/c its praising him. :D i love it

  • great! if anyone cares, awhile ago, I had a friend listen to Focused. "this band is f^$#in awsome" he says. I told him it was a christian band and he hesitated a bit and said, "Yeah, they're okay." For some reason people feel that music is only good if it is played on the radio or MTV. (whereas most Christian tunes are not) I think it feels nice to "discover" a band. AK49

  • This is a great band, and i'm happy for all the beliviers out there to have something to listen to that they agree upon.

    I cannot listen to this, because the lyrics bugs me, since i'm an Atheist.

  • @FearAbsence So what music wouldn't bug you? Most metal bands have themes regarding some form of faith/belief.

    It'd suck not being able to appreciate good music merely because you don't accept others' views, eh?

  • Becoming the Archetype = Archetype means original. First. Jesus was the first sinless man, and they wish to become like Jesus, therefore becoming the archetype. They're a christian band, and a very good one at that.

  • prog metal FTW

  • no question: the single most intense vocalist in all of heavy music. his volume is simply unsurpassed

  • lol, this is shit... never heard christians mediate such negative values :D

  • My bad had a show with these guys last night!!! (:

  • I don't get why when people hear Becoming the Archetype they think they aren't christian, unbelievable

  • @Maphillabrian cuz people wrongly assume that metal can't be Christian :( and/or can't understand screamed/growled vocals. People don't bother looking at the lyrics. Illiterate fools :D

  • @UndeniablyInsaneGuy True! T_T

  • @Maphillabrian They lack Common Sense. If they were to read the lyrics, they'd be totally swept off their feet.

  • @Maphillabrian ppl associate metal to hell, devil, etc. That's why

  • If you guys want to hear more serious Christian metal like this then you should check out (August Burns Red and their album Messengers.) (Underoath's old album Cries From The Past) is in my opinion some of the greatest Christian Metal and has a similar cataclysmic speaker ripping style as Becoming the Archetype!

  • i like as i lay dying better...........

  • such a grat chrisatn band awsome break downs

  • this band can compete and destroy any Devil worship metal band, idiotic bands like Dimmu Borgir pissed me off, this is real Metal, real lyrics that gives you faith, even if Dimmu Borgir videos have millions of views and Becoming the Archetype videos only few thousands, we are fewer but we are stronger, cause we are Men of God, hail Christ

  • @alex4ucj lol, yeah right xD I ain't worshiping Satan, but that what you said makes no sense, metal has always been about worshiping Satan, if I wanted to listen to something about god I would go to church and listen to choir.

  • @bIackshade

    Ummm.... maybe certain types of metal are about satan! not ALL of it!

  • @alex4ucj shut the fuck up, bands like Dimmu Borgir and Deicide aren't Satanic, it's purely subject matter they contend with you indoctrinated fucking idiot. Honestly BtA would be ashamed to have a fucktard like you as a fan.

  • @MrShadyJeff lol, what an idiot,Dimmu Borgir is overrated, and yes, they play satanic, their videos and lyrics are a living proof, while Becoming the Archetype it's the opposite of their lyrics.

    I think Becoming the Archetype is more proud of their Christian fan followers, rather than kids like you who listen to Dimmu Beattle Borgs music for wanna be kids. You surely don't know the lyrics of this band, their lyrics are totally different than Deceide and Dimmu's idiotic lyrics.

  • @alex4ucj you have clearly never heard of symbolism or metaphor. If I wrote a poem about Islam, does that make me Islamic? How the fuck does subject matter immediately mean that the author is obviously of the creed? That is a reductio ad absurdum. I never brought the quality of the bands or their intentions into question, except for morons like you. And to be honest I don't actually listen to Dimmu Borgir, but the total ignorance you laid down just had to be contended.

    You know nothing.

  • @alex4ucj Christians shouldn't be judging other people for the musical taste, and automatically assuming that they're idiots because they listen to Dimmu Borgir. You're not making me love christ anymore by calling me and my favorite bands "idiotic". Am I an idiot because I listen to Dimmu Borgir? I don't listen to 'em much now, but god, I used to love them 2 years ago. And the lyrics don't have to be christian to give you faith. Have you ever listened to In Flames? Give Colony a try.

  • @RygorMortys Dimmu Borgir's lyrics are idiotic, and that's my humble opinion,compared to BTA they are nothing but a waste of existence.

  • @alex4ucj Also listen to We Came As Romans. Not really death metal, but they're not christian and their lyrics are EXTREMELY uplifting and faith boosting.

  • @alex4ucj AMEN TO THAT!

  • @alex4ucj AMEN BROTHA!!

  • @alex4ucj We are always out numbered but never out manned!

  • @alex4ucj amen. (except im a woman of God <3 )

  • @alex4ucj "Through God my Creator and Christ my Savior I can do anything"

  • @alex4ucj Ah God's power don't compete it "Commands!"You need to read His word.

  • Best Song ever! Hands down!

  • I dont give a fuck about christian metal, but dont scream youre believes in my face. it sucks dick.

  • where´s the end??? there are still 4-5 minutes of the song. The middle time is calm but still very good !!!!!!!

  • at 4:14 is that the guy from demon hunter?

  • @CaptainPie5 yep. ryan clark did those vocals saying wide is the path that leads to destruction, wide is the [ath that leads to the grave. he also sis vocals in dichotomy.

  • Yepp

  • ex nihilo!!!

  • And...you idea of good music is what?

  • Actually, this isn't their best song, I'd say their best songs are End of the Age, Necrotizing Fasciitis, or Artificial Immortality

  • @shadow0414 theres seariously somthing wrong with your crainium

  • this was the first song i heard from this band(i just recently heard of them) and i loved it instantly. absolutely wicked.

  • there best song made by far, and the album i ten times better than physics of fire by,and yes they are for shure christian

  • you're dumb... christian band actually

  • I smell a troll.........

  • @Gizmozilla

    Psalm 33:3 (KJV)

    Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.

    WHO ARE YOU TO DECIDE??

  • WTF this is christian!!???!!??

  • look up with blood comes cleansing. they are an even heavier christian metal band

  • yes. yes it is.

  • Christian Power

  • fuck all the religon talk...its hard not to believe things when even for me i was "forced" to believe in shit when i was to young to make my oun choices..but o well..at least i can agree believe in what you want....O YEA BTW this band for me is not bad at all but it does not really catch my eye..

  • where is the rest of the song?

  • looks kinda like you tampered with the volume at 1:47 but no biggy its still got amazing sound unlike some of the other adders, i recently taught myself how to death sing and am trying to find a band. its fun, but remember kids..just say no and tell an adult. haha

  • I have to say this song is insane, but i like As I Lay Dying's "Elegy" more.

  • yeah dude AILDs Elegy is siiiick

  • I have to give it a three, what you have is great, but you left out over 5 1/2 minutes of the song!

  • true its like 11 mins

  • breakdown at 2:43 is disgusting!!!

  • is that good or bad? it sounded good to me

  • It's really good!!!:)

  • that part sucks

  • people say that all christian metal is, is worship music...thats what they think when they hear the music genre "christian metal" when really the are left speechless because it is just that BA

  • Death reigns over the earth Opressing justice and truth Nations plagued by despair Are collapsing hopelessly into themselves We watch while sanity dies Forever lost upon the Earth Countless souls embracing condemnation One by one marching to the grave Into the Mouth of the ruin that feeds upon the Damned and the Deceived And they will cry there is no life here only death Deceived Wide is the path that leads to destruction Wide is that pathway down into the pit of despair
  • wow this is awesome but there no point in saying that we shoundt have christan metal

  • Whats with these people saying Christians cant listen to metal, some of the best metal is Christian, I'll bet we can mosh harder than any of these posers!

  • This is beyond amazing!! Nice to know there are people who agree that Christians can have metal music. I saw a video of this kid saying that Christians can't have metal and that we look bad trying to. It was very offending.....Thank God for these bands!!! They're screaming the truth right in your face!! lol

  • sorta stinks the 3rd guitarist left because he did a HUGE amount of stuff on this album.now the lead singer dosend hit the high screams anymore.

  • @Luvbug89470

    yeah!! man you're right, I'm totally agree !!..

  • @Luvbug89470 Its not because its christians doing metal its that they say they are Christian metal which just sounds stupid just let metal be metal.

  • @Luvbug89470

    you see, i have absolutely no problem with that comment or your religion until you say 'screaming the TRUTH'. How the fuck do you get to say that christianity is definately the truth. Shit like that angers me, you dont decide

  • @ScarsOfTheCrucifix Neither do you, bitch!

  • @Luvbug89470

    LOL wtf!? The difference is i didnt say I did, unlike you, you fucking retard

  • @ScarsOfTheCrucifix Neither did, dip-shit! Do have like, dyslexia or something? Where did I say 'I decide for everyone'? Show me where I say those exact words. I simply stated my own opinion, I didn't ask for yours and I don't care if you agree or not. Your opinion doesn't matter to me, I'm not here to please you. Yeah, okay, I'm a retard, I'm sure you can get over it. =)

  • @Luvbug89470

    LOL! wtf are you on about mate!? you specifically said, theyre screaming the truth right in your face, youn didnt say it diplomatically in the slightest, if you were expressing your own opinion you wouldnt of just plainly said, THEY ARE. Now go and jerk off to the bible :)

  • @ScarsOfTheCrucifix I know what I said, and it's my own opinion because to me 'they are'. Obviously 34 people agree with me. I'm done arguing with you about it. I don't care enough about you to waste any more of my time. Do you honestly have nothing better to do then argue with and bash teenagers on the internet? Get your ass of the computer, and go get a job and if you can't do that, go 'slit your wrist, get pissed and go jump off a bridge.' Peace, Bitch, I'm out.

  • @Luvbug89470

    Your are such an epic fail, do you HONESTLY, honestly, not detect the ultimate irony in your comment? You say I have nothing better to do, then argue on the internet, which is EXACTLY what your doing by replying every time. And seriously, get off the computer and get a job?...... why dont you? lol. I dont think that comment could of been more retarded even if you wished

  • @Luvbug89470 YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE-AHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHH

  • @Luvbug89470 yeah, to say 'metal is of the devil' is to actually put God in a shoebox and to enclose how eternally great God is. I believe God can be glorified in all types of music BECAUSE He is so eternally great!

  • @Luvbug89470 Most good metalcore is Christian now anyway.

  • @Luvbug89470 But this sounds like Death Metal. Except I guess it doesn't fit the description of Death Metal because there's no death in it.

    

  • I really want to like this band, but they're just too heavy :/

  • who knows where I can find Elegy piano part, please?

  • Stop being so transparent, this is ridiculous. I'm a troll and this is the type of behavior that gives posters a false sense of what trollishness is.

  • what is trollishness ?

  • what is trollishness

  • god is so real...this is christian metal...they reach out to people who aren't christians and those people like this music

  • To clarify; you don't think that only non-christians like hard music, right?

  • I'm not Christian ( i used to be but i don't consider myself one now) and i like this....and one band won't change my opinion.....o.O

  • Comment removed

  • i just cried this song is so amazing lol

  • Statements like that are why Christian metal fans aren't taken seriously.

  • *by a handful of people whose opinion on Christian metal fans is irrelevant and thus; ignored

  • Stop being hypocrites, this is ridiculous. I'm a christian, and this is the type of behavior that gives others a false sense of what Christianity is.

  • Idiot...

  • see what I did there?

  • im a pk to and you relly shouldnt be using language like that. plus you should be commenting on the music(which is totally awesome by the way) instead of arguing with eachother

    god bless x

  • May I add for all to see from my own interpretation that cursing and profanity and sometimes even satire is speech that all bring to mind a negative thought or something that is unnecessary. The negativity is instilled because all of the instances such speech is used that we come to know of it in a certain way. The recognition of it in one's mind alone can bring though small a thought of negativity no less. It goes deep and I could be more elaborate but I think there is enough to point out.

  • Yo you guys seriously got to stop, at the moment i dont believe both of you guys are Christain mabey you guys should stop pointing fingures and look each other... Seriously cursing is wrong if you dont think so loook it up in the Bible. If you think calling hiom a name was right look it up in the Bible.

    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Matthew 7:12 (THE GOLDEN RULE)

    I am a Pk so if you dont know what that means go ask the pastors son he will know.

    -God Bless

  • Thou shall not eFlame.

    >_>

  • i think its ryan clark from demon hunter

  • love love love fucking LOVE this song

  • you do know that they are christian,right?

  • what the hell does them being christian have to do with anything..

  • why are you cussing when you are a christian band's fan.they would be very disapointed if they heard you cuss and stuff.

  • you must be retarded. like seriously, do you not know anything? im christian, so are 38438748 other people i know... swearing is common. Get over it.ITS NO BIG DEAL . so grow some balls and get over it

  • "For, whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech." peter 3:10

    what I'm trying to say is that you don't know anything.You seriously need god in your life.Good luck and God Bless

  • lmfao your hilarious

    i swear so i need god in my life?

    i know your joking kid, give it up.

    its only funny for so long.

  • so you Christianity is funny?you are really stubborn.You are just making up the dumbest things just to keep this fight going. I can tell you are running out of things to say and in your head,if you are a real christian,you know that I am right.You probably aren't a real christian, but you should be man.

  • its hilarios cause everything you just blamed me for is exactly what YOU are doing. seriously kid you need to think waaaay more. this isnt even about god.. like he has nothing to do with swearing. you are the one that needs him cause clearly you have nothing else better to do. your not smart.

  • how does god have nothing to do with cussing. cussing is a sin

  • Comment removed

  • God was created by politicians? I sincerely hope this isn't what you truly believe.

  • no, atheism was created by politicians.

  • im truly sorry you feel that way. and i do believe people should believe in what they choose to. i dont "force" my beliefs on anybody.

  • ur not christian if u say that... u cannot be a christian and be worldly at the same time. u have given into the world. those words you have typed came from the flesh. u are not with the lord truly. just because u say so doesnt mean anything. u say ur with the lord? then walk among him..

  • shut the fuck up,queer

  • dude all he said was hell hell hell hell it s not bad onless you say " damn you to hell"

  • there coming out with a new album this year YAY! :P

  • Try this month!

    Next week!! \m/

  • Do they only have one vocalist who growls? Cause thats amazing range if its only one guy.

  • yeah i think he does both :)

  • i meant singing and growling, sorry...

  • Demon Hunter does the same.

  • I saw them live he does both. He does the low growls and the high screams too.

  • best song in the world

  • It´s not possible to post the vid withe the piano solo, i already tried it, but the vid is too long!!

  • im working on making thatvid

    it wont be up for awhile though cuz i have to fi problems wth my compy first

  • Is it possible to post this song with the piano solo and everything?

  • My friend asked me to figure out the piano part to this song. He failed to tell me that the piano part was 5 min. long but hey, I did it almost completely perfectly (bass notes at the end). Anyway, I LOVE this song. It's amazing. The timing (4/4, 3/4, 6/8 etc. not sure which ones are in this song) changes so many times. It's great.
