Becoming the archetype epoch of war
The Physics of Fire is the second album by the progressive death metal band Becoming the Archetype. The album features a departure from the band's previous metalcore sound and shifts to a more progressive death metal sound. While the metalcore influences are still there, they are not as prominent as they were on Terminate Damnation. This is also the first and only album featuring Aletheian guitarist Alex Kenis.
