Christian metal band Becoming the Archetype is about to release their 5th full-length album, "I AM", on September 18, 2012 on Solid State Records.
The album is inspired by the eternal words of Jesus Christ, and blisters the ears with sounds of majesty and splendor, carefully weaving a poetic tale of our powerful Creator that tips our concept of reality to view the universe through the prism of Almighty God. In the intellectual fashion the band is known for, the lyrics cut to the bone with sharp words and heavy concepts that leave the listener with something to chew on long after the song ends. Metal fans looking for something new to digest will not be disappointed, and I urge you to pick the new album up. You will not be disappointed.
Here's a taste.
The tracklist goes like this:
"The Ocean Walker"
"The Time Bender"
"The Sky Bearer"
"The Eyes of the Storm"
"The Machine Killer"
"The War Ender"
"The Weapon Breaker"
"The Planet Maker"
"The Sun Eater"
"I AM"
Here's an excerpt from my full review, I gave the album a 9 out of 10.
"I AM is easily one of the most anticipated and heavy-hitting Christian metal albums of the year, and this beast devours the death metal scene in fine fashion, while keeping to that melodic touch, poetic streak and God-praising intricacy that Becoming the Archetype is known for. Striking a homerun, I AM scores in all the areas that matter.
It is extremely heavy, deep growl-infused, clean-vocal singing prone when it matters, and shines through with lyrics that any other band would kill for."
