A Day To Remember: The Least Anticipated Album Tour
ADTR Puts on a Show to Remember
A Day To Remember, easily one of the most popular mainstream metal bands, took the stage at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC, this past Tuesday (7/2/24). True to their name, they put on “A Show to Remember.” Accompanied by Pain of Truth, Four Year Strong, and The Story So Far, ADTR wowed not only me but also the thousands of people in attendance with their iconic songs and a party-like atmosphere. My first experience seeing ADTR was in 2021 at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. At the time, I was not a fan of the metal scene, yet I discovered that just about anyone can have a good time at an ADTR show. From commanding rhythms and beats to CO2 cannons, pyrotechnics, and even beach balls, the show was an intoxicating euphoria. Now, three years later, I am such a big fan of the metal scene and genre that I am volunteering as a mixed media concert journalist just so I can attend more shows. I can’t help but feel that my initial experience with ADTR played a large part in that development.
While ADTR may lean slightly more towards mainstream/pop metal, they definitely showcase an affinity for the heavier side, as evidenced by the first band of the night. Opening the show was Pain of Truth, a band quickly making a name for itself in the hardcore scene. Led by frontman Michael Smith, their set was a visceral, adrenaline-fueled display of anger, attitude, energy, and rage. The lineup includes Nik Hansen and Ridge Rhine on guitars, Chris Rini on drums, and Zach Stachura on bass.
If you’re curious about their pedigree, just look through their features; with names like Terror, Bad Seed, King Nine, Billy Club Sandwich, and many others, it’s evident that this band is destined to leave a mark on the scene. It was clear from the start of their set that those who had arrived in time for the opener were there specifically for Pain of Truth, not just to secure a good spot for the main event. In terms of moshing and reckless engagement, Pain of Truth undoubtedly ignited the most activity I saw in the audience all night.
Taking the stage next was Four Year Strong, a band technically categorized as American easycore/pop-punk from Worcester, Massachusetts. The four-man band consists of Alan Day and Dan O’Connor on guitars and vocals, Joe Weiss on bass, and Jake Massucco on drums. Their most recent album, “Brain Pain,” was released by Pure Noise Records on February 28th, 2020.
They kicked off their set with the title track “Brain Pain,” and proceeded to play a variety of their tracks, including the song” uncooked” from their not-yet-released album “Analysis Paralysis,” due out on August 9th, 2024. The crowd responded energetically to the new material, showcasing the band’s ability to blend catchy pop-punk melodies with hardcore intensity.
The Story So Far, hailing from Walnut Creek, California, took the stage after Four Year Strong. Named after a 2002 song by New Found Glory, with whom they later toured in 2012, the band has gained recognition in the pop-punk realm. Their LP “Under Soil and Dirt” was ranked in Rock Sound’s list of The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time, alongside other iconic bands like Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Green Day, and The Offspring. However, I found their performance to be lackluster and unenergetic, a sentiment echoed by many fans post-show. Lead vocalist Parker Cannon spent the majority of the set with a subdued demeanor, clutching the microphone and his pants, showing little emotion. This was further reflected in my photographs from the event, where he appeared detached throughout the performance.
ADTR was everything I remembered and everything I hoped for. The audience was thrilled with anticipation, and the energy was palpable. Just like the last two times I saw them, they kicked off with a bang, literally. Confetti cannons fired during their opening song “Sticks & Bricks,” setting the tone for the exhilarating show to come. ADTR’s history is as rich as its discography. They signed what many called a deal with the devil with Victory Records in 2007, and were notoriously mistreated by the label’s owner, Tony Brummel. Credited with ending this mistreatment, they won their lawsuit against Victory, which eventually forced Brummel to sell the company. They continued to release music independently, proving with their album “Common Courtesy” and hits like “Right Back At It Again” that they didn’t need major label backing to succeed. Recent legal troubles led to Josh Woodard’s departure from the band, and he has been replaced by an unnamed and unidentifiable guitarist for their “Least Anticipated Album Tour.” Despite my searches on the band’s Instagram, website, and the internet, I couldn’t find any information about this mysterious guitarist who appears in all the show photos.
After my three songs were up and I was permitted to re-enter the venue, I was eager to recapture the euphoria I had felt previously, now as a more committed fan of the scene. It was upon re-entering that I noticed the venue’s segregation. For me, concerts are a place of equality—especially rock, metal, and hardcore shows—and it didn’t sit right with me that the majority of the audience was excluded from “The Pit” where moshing and crowd surfing take place, simply because they didn’t purchase upgrade tickets. Perhaps I’m more accustomed to bands at festivals or smaller venues, but being unable to get close to the action and feel the energy seemed unfair. While I stayed and enjoyed ADTR from a distance, I found myself constantly on my tiptoes, trying to peer over into the VIP area to gauge the size of the mosh pit or catch some cool crowd surfing. Speaking of which, if you’ve never been to an ADTR concert, they have a unique bit where they encourage the audience to stand/surf on top of someone who is already crowd surfing—a staple of their performances. I believe this division in the crowd is likely a venue regulation, not a tour ploy to make more money.
In the end, this night with A Day To Remember and the rest of the lineup at Red Hat Amphitheater was a full-throttle blast from start to finish, reminding me why I fell in love with the metal and hardcore scene. Despite the slight disappointment with the venue’s segregated sections, the concerts showed that music—especially the kind with guitars cranked up and drums that hit hard—still has the power to unite us. Each band brought something unique to the stage, from Pain of Truth’s raw ferocity to ADTR’s anthemic bangers that had us all reaching for the sky, even if from a distance. And while the mysterious new guitarist for ADTR added an element of intrigue, the night was ultimately about the music and the community it fosters. As the lights went down and the final echoes of the encore faded, I walked away with my ears ringing, my heart full, and a renewed sense of connection to this wildly pulsating world of metal and hardcore music. No matter the barriers, the spirit of the pit—unyielding and wild—lives on in every chord struck and every lyric belted. Tonight, just like that first time at Blue Ridge, I was reminded why this music, this scene, is a relentless force in my life.

A 5lb increase on a barbell goes to show into a 10lb increase with a pair of dumbbells.
If you go up from 50s to 55s, it’s a 55 in each hand which is a 10 lb total
improve. Just because we don’t have a barbell doesn’t imply we’ve to give up the benefits of the overhead press motion. The shoulder joint is particularly susceptible to damage due to its complexity and wide selection of motion. A thorough warm-up
can help improve blood flow, prime the muscles, and prepare the joints.
If you’re new to strength training, it’s doubtless an extreme amount of for your current fitness stage.
The Z Press is a modified overhead press that has you sitting
on the bottom along with your legs straight out in front of you.
By taking the decrease half of your body out of the exercise, the train demands extra
stability via the core which we frequently get lazy with
in the standard version of the press. The stronger your shoulders get while performing this
exercise, the more weight it is feasible for you to to press overhead when standing, leading to even greater, stronger shoulders.
The cable twisting overhead press is one other effective single-arm
cable shoulder exercise. It is a really efficient shoulder press variation that works the anterior delt.
It is a really effective and functional exercise for building muscle and energy within the posterior deltoids.
And we will be utilizing lighter bands (lower resistance
level) for these workouts. Use the band dimension that’s doable
for a high volume exercise but will nonetheless problem you for 20 reps.
Core energy isn’t nearly having visible abs; it is about
creating stability, enhancing posture, and enhancing overall movement effectivity.
When we speak about “easy actions,” we’re referring to deceptively easy yet
extremely efficient exercises. These exercises give attention to participating
the entire core with out advanced tools or superior methods.
However, don’t confuse “effortless” with simple; these actions demand focus,
control, and consistency to reap the benefits.
Incorporating these into your routine can lay a strong foundation for overall strength and improve how your physique handles everyday activities.
This is an exercise that shows up on a lot of “worst” or “avoid” lists as a shoulder-wrecker.
This quantity of shoulder energy coaching provides you the best potential muscle growth gains
because your shoulders want enough relaxation to guarantee that
the muscles to be able to restore and grow. Coaching shoulders 1-2 instances per
week will help you construct robust broad shoulders.
Heavy compound lifts aren’t perfect when it comes to constructing muscular
shoulders. That’s because the deltoid muscular tissues receive
a lot assistance from different muscle groups within the upper body when doing big lifts.
Moreover, these workouts may help to develop muscular endurance,
contributing to a well-defined shoulder appearance and enhancing practical energy for on a daily basis actions.
After reaching failure, rest seconds and perform
2-3 more reps. Repeat 2-3 occasions. Many trainees merely do not
do enough total work to stimulate progress.
Doing push ups on gymnastic rings works your shoulders
tougher by including instability; this challenges your muscles in both flexion and pronation movements to extend strength.
Elevate your training by incorporating these ring-based shoulder exercises into your
exercise routine for lasting outcomes. Interact within the ring single arm rear delt row by grasping the ring with one
hand and pulling it towards your waist. Maintain your
again straight and exhale as you raise, engaging the muscles
in your shoulder. Performing Ring Y Raises is an efficient approach to
goal the shoulders and higher back muscle tissue.
Start by gripping the rings together with your palms facing one another, then elevate your
arms up and out to type a ‘Y’ form. Whether Or Not you’re a gymnast, weight lifter, or simply looking to improve your general fitness degree, these exercises
will help you obtain stronger and extra resilient shoulders.
As such, the shoulder joint can also be very injury-prone, a reality to which
many lifters can attest. Saini recommends maintaining the bar as close to
your body as attainable throughout the motion to attenuate
shoulder joint stress and maximize trap activation. Additionally, reverse the movement when your
upper arms are parallel to the floor. Set up as you probably did for the neutral-grip row however with lighter
dumbbells. Elevate your arms out to your sides 90 degrees, squeezing your shoulder blades collectively at
the high for a second. Complete your set after which rest till the end
of three minutes, when your timer goes off.
Going in all of sudden can influence the physique and depart it feeling achy
and sore. Slowly introducing a quantity of motion patterns
and rising the depth over time will permit the physique to adapt and benefit from each mobility drill.
If you need to have the power to do handstands, you need robust shoulders and a powerful core.
We shall be remarking on what muscle tissue are being
worked for every of the 9 workout routines.
Your shoulders include three main muscles, known as
the Deltoids or Delts. As you’ve come to expect from ATHLEAN-X, we all the
time have a watch on damage prevention, so I’d be remiss to not include a corrective train for shoulders.
Anyone can use the gym machines to construct any muscle tissue they need,
together with the shoulders. The Nautilus Impact Shoulder Press presents a steady path of movement that mimics free-weight presses with added
ergonomic assist, good for controlled, progressive shoulder training.
The Rear delt fly machine offers constant resistance all through
the complete vary of motion.
