History

Advent formed from three members of the christian post-hardcore band Beloved. The band toured the country with bands such as Underoath and Cool Hand Luke, including a performance at the Cornerstone Festival. Beloved released three EP's and one full length album. In the fall of 2004, drummer/vocalist Joe Musten got married and subsequently decided that his commitment to his family superseded his responsibilities with the band and would be unable to continue. Because he was such an integral part of the band, the rest of the members decided to end Beloved rather than replace him. Matt Harrison, Johnny Smrdel, and Joe Musten (all previously of Beloved) went on to form the band. Chris Ankelein and Mike Rich would join later on.

Advent released their debut album Remove the Earth on February 12, 2008 on Solid State Records.

In the summer of 2008, Advent joined Demon Hunter on their "Stronger Than Hell Tour". This was Demon Hunter's first tour since "The Undying Tour" which took place in the U.S. two years ago. Other bands on the tour included the reunited Christian metalcore band Living Sacrifice, as well as Oh, Sleeper, and The Famine. The tour ended on July 5, 2008 at the Cornerstone Festival in Illinois.
