About this user

All that exists is comprised of the vibration of tiny particles that once shared a single, compressed point in space. These subatomic particles evolved into the stars and the planets and all forms of life. The knowledge of this cosmic harmony and our heritage as celestial beings is shared by all people. It is passed down as part of the collective unconscious. This instinctual awareness is the Astral Archetype.

Astral Archetype formed in early 2005 when Kevin Boyle (bass/vocals) and Steve Murtaugh (guitar/vocals) met and began talking music. The two felt that their diverse musical tastes (Kev: mostly metal and Steve: mostly prog) would complement each other perfectly in a band format. Kev and Steve began getting together frequently to jam and write, eventually bringing in a drummer to complete the first line up of Astral Archetype. After a year of writing and endless jamming, the trio began playing a variety of venues in the Philadelphia region including The Fire, Fergie's, and Eris Temple in Philadelphia, as well as The Nail in Ardmore, PA and John & Peter's in New Hope, PA. Astral Archetype also recorded their debut EP Deconstructing a Coincidence during this period.
In mid-2008, the second line up of Astral Archetype began performing with Chris Kulp (Mischief Brew, Red Devil) on drums. The new trio performed at the Highwire Gallery and The North Star Bar in Philadelphia, and at the Rusty Nail in Ardmore, PA. At the end of 2008, Astral Archetype brought in Brian Deal (Polterchrist) on drums for a special New Year's Eve performance. The band played several more shows and parties with Chris Kulp, including the At the Heart of Winter Celebration and the infamous Full Moon Beltane Mayhem at Emu Laboratories, a performance at Eris Temple and a show at the Millcreek in West Philly. The debut album, Assimilating the Simulacrum, was recorded in May and June of 2009.

The summer of 2010 saw the addition of Brian Deal as a permanent member of the band with performances at Jimmy Mac's Bar and Grille in Drexel Hill, and again at The Nail, John & Peter's, and Eris Temple. Astral Archetype is currently working on new material which will feature a bold new sound.
