Brecksville, OH's Archetype was formed in 1997 by singer Greg Wagner, guitarist Chris Matyus, ba**ist Jamie Still, and drummer Keith Zeigler. Taking their cues from both progressive and power metal strains, and bolstered by Wagner's powerful, expressive voice, the band debuted with 1999's Hands of Time EP and eventually followed it with 2002's full-length Dawning. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
