Jason Wisdom is an American musician who is the lead vocalist and bass guitarist for the heavy 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 (although he would return to the band in 2022).[5] Though current 7 Horns 7 Eyes frontman, JJ Polachek, tried out, Wisdom was replaced by former live fill in, Chris McCane.[5] He 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 Duck and Hecox, releasing a new album, Children of the Great Extinction, on August 26, 2022.[9]

Solamors (2012–2015)

Beginning in 2012, Jason joined with guitarist Alex Kenis (Aletheian, ex-Becoming the Archetype) and drummer Travis Turner (ex-Aletheian, UnTeachers) to begin their band Solamors based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[10][11] The band's influences are Death, Emperor, Cynic, Becoming the Archetype, Aletheian, The Burial, Black Crown Initiate, Demon Hunter, Devin Townsend, Strapping Young Lad, Extol.[10] They have released one album titled Depravity's Demise, which was released on December 24, 2013. Wisdom left the band in 2015.

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 was planning on releasing an EP and touring in 2016.[7] The project's influences are Tool, Opeth, and Devin Townsend.[12] On October 30, 2016, Wisdom announced that Death Therapy had signed to Solid State Records and would be releasing a 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] In 2019, Wisdom released Death Therapy's second album, Voices, on April 12.[19] After releasing the EP Dance Therapy: Pre-apocalyptic Cyber Funk for Late Stage Humanoids in 2020, Death Therapy issued Melancholy Machines, their third studio album, on June 4, 2021.[20]

In 1999, I got together with a few high school buddies in my best friend's basement to make some music. One of the first songs I remember trying to cover was "Reject" by Living Sacrifice. Fast forward to 2010, and I did my final tour with Becoming the Archetype. That tour was in support of Living Sacrifice. Several times on that tour, I was honored to do guest vocals on "Reject." Now it is 2016, and I am leaving for my first "tour dates" with my new band, Death Therapy. Who are we opening for? None other than the great Living Sacrifice. This may not seem like a big deal to you...but it is HUGE for me.
