Advent (Active: 2005 - 2011, 2015 - Present)

Advent is a hardcore band from Kernersville, North Carolina, known for their dark, heavy, and metallic hardcore sound. Initially formed in 2005, Advent quickly gained attention for their crushing riffs, aggressive breakdowns, and deeply emotional lyrics. Their music blends elements of hardcore, metalcore, and even doom, creating a sound that is both unrelenting and deeply atmospheric. After disbanding in 2011, the band reunited in 2015, continuing to deliver their signature brand of heavy, thought-provoking hardcore.

Advent's lyrical themes often revolve around existential struggles, faith, personal hardship, and social critique, all delivered with an intensity that resonates with fans of both hardcore and metal.

With their reunion, Advent has proven that they are still a vital force in the hardcore scene, with a sound that remains relevant and impactful.
