Archetype
|
| By

A nice background on guitarist Chris Matyus whom started this band back
in 1997. Chris received a degree at University of Akron (Ohio) for
Classical Guitar Performance before teaming up with bassist Jamie
Stilland drummer Keith Zeigler. 1998 saw this trio release an all
instrumental CD entitled "Archetype" before deciding on finding a
vocalist, Greg Wagner who was featured on their next release, a 4-song
EP entitled "Hands of Time".
Present day; 2002, Archetype releases "Dawning", a
10-track gem of a release racking up almost 67 minutes of technical
Power and Progressive Metal. If you listen to the music and the vocals,
the likenesses are somewhat in the ballpark of Evergrey, Iced Earth and
Dream Theater. Complex timings and everyone's part is important and
identifiable on this disc. I can't really tell it any better since this
is high-caliber music and makes me wonder why no label has snatched
them
up yet. I know this seems to be a plug but Archetype would be a
suitable
band for Magna Carta, Limb Music or Inside Out Music.
