Jason Wisdom is the lead vocalist and bass guitarist for the Christian progressive death metal band Becoming the Archetype. Though he was born and raised in a Christian home, he states that he was never committed to Christianity until high school.[3] He considers his music as a form of ministry, but wishes to avoid a "preachy" stereotype. His influences include Extol, Living Sacrifice, and Mortification among others.[4] Wisdom notes that even though his music is Christian metal, many of his fans are not Christians and are many times the ones who defend his music.[3] Wisdom left the band in late November 2011 to take care of his family.[5] Though current 7 Horns 7 Eyes frontman, JJ Polachek, tried out, Wisdom was replaced by former live fill in, Chris McCane.[5] He has recently started a solo project titled Death Therapy, which features no guitars.[6][7] He currently works for RYFO, a company that helps musicians with places to stay, meals and other such things.[4][8]

History

Becoming the Archetype (1999-2011, 2022-present)

Wisdom's musical career started in 1999, when he helped form Technical death metal band, Becoming the Archetype with Guitarists Sean Cunningham and Jon Star, Bassist Wes Gaither, and Drummer Brent "Duck" Duckett.[4] The band was not originally called Becoming the Archetype, as it was formerly called Nonexistent Failure. The band recorded a demo under this moniker, before changing the name again to The Remnant. The band recorded a demo and a their self titled album under this name. Around 2003-2004 the band played Cornerstone Festival, where they met the musicians in Demon Hunter.[4] The members of DH told the members of the band to change their name, so they would not be confused with the punk band The Remnants.[4] The band again changed their name to Becoming the Archetype.[4] The band went over several line-up changes with the exception of Wisdom, Duck and founding BTA Guitarist (who had nothing to do with Nonexistent Failure or The Remnant) Seth Hecox. The band recorded four albums, titled Terminate Damnation, The Physics of Fire, Dichotomy, and Celestial Completion, before Wisdom and Duck left the band, on November 14, 2011. In 2022, Wisdom revived BTA alongside Duckett and Hecox, releasing a new album, Children of the Great Extinction, on August 26th, 2022.[9]

Death Therapy (2015-present)

Death Therapy is Wisdom's solo project that was originally conceived in 2010, but started recording in 2015.[12][13] He recorded a single titled "Possessed" and was released on November 9, 2015.[6][7] Wisdom is planning on releasing an EP and touring in 2016.[7] The projects influences are Tool, Opeth, and Devin Townsend.[12] On October 30, 2016, Wisdom announced that Death Therapy had signed to Solid State Records and will be releasing the new album, by around February 2017.[14][15] The band released two songs titled "Slow Dance (With Death)"[16] and "Self Mind Dead" which features Andrew Schwab of Project 86.[17] Death Therapy released their album The Storm Before the Calm on February 24, 2017.[18]
