==History==
Death Therapy originated in November 2015 as a solo project in hopes to create a new outlet for [Jason Wisdom](/source/Jason_Wisdom) to create music again. Wisdom previously had performed with [Christian metal](/source/Christian_metal) band [Becoming the Archetype](/source/Becoming_the_Archetype) (BTA), as well as [technical death metal](/source/technical_death_metal) project [Solamors](/source/Solamors) with former BTA and [Aletheian](/source/Aletheian) members.<ref name="IVM Sign"/><ref name="PRP"/><ref name="NN"/> The concept for the band began in 2010, but did not officially begin until 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=119389|title=Death Therapy Premieres New Song "The Lie"|website=Metal Underground|date=January 13, 2016|access-date=July 14, 2019}}</ref> Wisdom hired his friend Brian Wages to perform keyboards for the project, while the two programmed the drums on the band's first three songs - "Possessed", "The Lie", and "Prodigal" - which eventually came out as a demo, titled ''Demo Songs - 2015/2016'', which was released independently on February 24, 2016.<ref name="BC">{{cite web|url=https://deaththerapymetal.bandcamp.com/album/demo-songs-2015-2016|title=Demo Songs - 2015/2016|website=[Bandcamp](/source/Bandcamp)|date=February 24, 2016|access-date=July 14, 2019}}</ref> The band derived its name from the 1991 film '[What About Bob?](/source/What_About_Bob%3F)'<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hmmagazine.com/former-becoming-the-archetype-announces-new-project-death-therapy-streams-new-song/|title = Former Becoming the Archetype announces new project, Death Therapy, streams new song| date=November 9, 2015 }}</ref>
