Becoming the Archetype is an American metal band signed to Solid State Records and Century Media Records (Europe) that formed in 1999 out of Dacula, Georgia. They have released 2 albums: Terminate Damnation and The Physics of Fire. The members profess Christian faith, and their name refers to the Bible verse Genesis 1:26 which reads, "God said, 'Let us make man in our image'"(The Message Bible). This reflects the band's Christian beliefs that since, according to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ was the only person to ever be sinless, he was the archetype of humanity.
