Beloved was a Christian metalcore/post-hardcore punk band from Greensboro and Winston-Salem, North Carolina that formed in 1999. They were signed to Solid State Records, on which they released two albums, 2001's The Running and 2003's Failure On. After much touring, however, the band realized that they were not able to continue making music together, due to drummer/vocalist Joe Musten getting married and decided to no longer continue Beloved. Their farewell show took place in Winston Salem, North Carolina on January 14, 2005. The show also featured Underoath, Classic Case, and Glass Casket, and a special surprise appearance by Norma Jean. The band recently released a DVD of footage of their farewell show entitled Kiss it Goodbye. The ex-members of Beloved went on to play in bands such as Advent, Classic Case, and Dead Poetic. Musten now plays drums at a local church band in Greensboro, NC.
