In 2022, however, the band reunited with the lineup of Jason Wisdom, Seth Hecox and Brent "Duck" Duckett.
== History == The band formed in 1999 with two vocalists, including Jason Wisdom and Jake Power, guitarists Greg Knapp and Sean Cunningham, bassist Noah, and drummer Brent "Duck" Duckett under the moniker Nonexistent Failure.<ref name=Rumors>{{cite web|url= https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rumors-are-true-podcast/id1638437699?i=1000681126983|title=Brent "Duck" Duckett (Becoming the Archetype)|website=The Rumors Are True Podcast|first=Jeremy Alan|last=Gould|date=December 20, 2024|accessdate=August 24, 2025}}</ref>
Power, Noah, and Knapp left the band before they recorded a demo.<ref name=Rumors/> The band recorded their first demo in 2001, before joining Solid State Records, the band changed their name to The Remnant and released an independent self-titled album.
The band was approached by the members of Demon Hunter at Cornerstone Festival in 2004, who told the band to change their name, as there was punk band named The Remnants.
The band changed to Becoming the Archetype. Wisdom claims that he came up with the name.
In December 2004, the band signed with Solid State. The next year, the band released their first nationwide album, ''Terminate Damnation'', whose title originated from a song of the same name by Christian death metal band Mortification, mixed by Tue Madsen. The album blended elements of progressive metal, death metal and metalcore.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.solidstaterecords.com/artists/39/Becoming_The_Archetype/ |title=Artist | Becoming The Archetype |publisher=Solid State Records |access-date=August 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703114837/http://www.solidstaterecords.com/artists/39/Becoming_The_Archetype/ |archive-date=July 3, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In 2006, the band's longtime lead guitarist, and one of the primary songwriters Jon Star decided to leave the band for personal reasons, but on good terms.
The band's first tour of 2006 was a 24-date run in Europe with The Chariot and Shaped by Fate with lead guitar replacement, Alex Kenis from progressive death metal group, Aletheian. In July 2006, original guitarist Sean Cunningham left the band for his last semester in college and to pursue a full-time career. Determined to press on, in the fall of 2006, the band went back into the studio with producer Andreas Magnusson (The Agony Scene, Scarlet, The Black Dahlia Murder, Calico System, Twelve Tribes); ''The Physics of Fire'', was released May 2007. The band promoted the album on "The Trilogy of Hairs" (Bring Your Own Beard, Peel Your Wig Back, Born With a Mustache) tour. The bearded skull artwork for the Bring Your Own Beard has been dubbed "Clifton", named after Aletheian/Solamors drummer Clifton Travis Turner,<ref name=ATSG>{{cite web|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/as-the-story-grows/id962812433|title=Seth Hecox of Becoming the Archetype|publisher=As the Story Grows|first=Seth|last=Hecox|interviewer=Travis Turner and Stephen Sarro|date=May 10, 2015|access-date=January 17, 2016}}</ref> and is BTA's mascot, according to Jason Wisdom. Also, Brent Duckett took an indefinite break from the band in late 2007 for personal reasons.
In 2008, there were some important personnel changes. Alex Kenis left and was replaced by the band's former lead guitarist, Jon Star. In the spring of 2008 The band wrote the material for its 3rd studio album and recorded the project with stand-in drummer Brandon Lopez (Broken Flesh) in Summer '08 with producer Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad). In November 2008, the band released ''Dichotomy''. The album's concept was inspired by the Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis and uses the same themes of biology vs technology, and man vs machine. The sixth song on the album, "Ransom" is, for instance, named after the main character of the trilogy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bandsonfire.com/resources/release-presentations/article/becoming-the-archetype-dichotomy-2437 |title=Becoming The Archetype – "Dichotomy" – BANDSONFIRE | Christ-centered Hardcore/Metal/Emo/Punk/Alternative/Rock/Indie/HipHop & more |publisher=Bandsonfire |access-date=August 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725162138/http://www.bandsonfire.com/resources/release-presentations/article/becoming-the-archetype-dichotomy-2437 |archive-date=July 25, 2011 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> On October 31, 2008, Brent "Duck" Duckett returned.
