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.

ADTR-2

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. POT-2 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.

FYS-9

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.

FYS-1

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. 

TSSF-1

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-8

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.

ADTR-7

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.

ADTR-12

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.

    Its incredible anabolic impacts will allow womento develop slender muscle without reworking them into manly figures.
    Certainly, even a minor expansion to bulk can have a
    significant effect on the feminine constitution. Users usually report a drop in stamina and muscle power in this period.
    It is a normal a half of the body’s adjustment process, a brief state until the body’s natural production kicks again in.
    With its identified benefits on collagen synthesis (after all, Anavar was initially developed to advertise healing),
    it could reduce soreness and pain post-workout.
    While Anavar is poisonous to the liver5, as we might count on with an oral steroid, its hepatotoxicity
    stage is minimal compared with many different steroids, making this an ideal selection for novices.
    Anavar is a kind of oral steroids that I knew I’d be
    pretty snug taking again after I began all this. Ladies can also expertise hair
    loss or thinning when using Anavar, significantly if they
    are genetically predisposed to hair loss. This could be another distressing facet impact that may or might not reverse after discontinuing the steroid.
    [newline]While Anavar is often thought-about a mild steroid,
    it can nonetheless trigger vital side effects in ladies,
    especially these associated to hormonal modifications.
    Gynecomastia, or the development of breast tissue in males, is another potential side effect.
    Though Anavar just isn’t as prone to cause this as some other steroids, it could nonetheless occur, especially if the drug is utilized in high doses or for
    extended durations.
    Analysis exhibits that 20 mg of oxandrolone causes 72% much
    less sulfobromophthalein, a marker of liver stress, in comparison with an equal dose of fluoxymesterone (10).
    A basic rule with steroids is that the more pronounced the
    outcomes, the more extreme the unwanted aspect effects are.
    BTG was granted orphan drug designation for treating uncommon muscle-wasting illnesses and situations similar to AIDS, Turner syndrome, and muscular dystrophy.
    This gave BTG seven years of market exclusivity, leading to a pharmaceutical monopoly.

    Consequently, BTG was capable of considerably enhance the worth
    of Anavar by 1,200%. Keep In Mind that this treatment has been prescribed as a outcome of
    your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is larger than the risk of unwanted effects.
    In common, should you do not have a predisposition to these
    results and your exams are regular, then you definitely
    don’t need to be afraid of side effects.
    The latter is more widespread in consultants and skilled steroid shoppers who’ve already developed a tolerance to steroids.

    Steroids are synthetic chemicals, the properties of which are analogous to the hormones our body produces.
    These chemicals purpose to generate the effects of testosterone,
    which have a big contribution to muscular growth, energy, and
    performance. One of the simplest methods of taking var
    is as a kickstart to a longer cycle. In the primary few weeks of a
    cycle, persons are desperate to see and feel gains. Utilizing Anavar for
    the primary 4-6 weeks allows for greater positive
    aspects from day one and maximum synergistic impact.
    I got interested in the chance of making an attempt “one thing” and started reading about it.

    Inside only a few days, guys report that endurance and recovery occasions are vastly improved.
    The capability of Anavar to extend red blood cell production raises
    blood oxygenation—allowing the muscle tissue to work both harder and longer and improve vascularity.
    Once the cycle has completed, post-cycle therapy (PCT) shall be required, especially
    if testosterone has been used as part of the stack.

    I even have therefore put collectively two example cycles to cover both
    of these targets. Whereas most synthetics have some weight reduction properties, in that they increase the metabolism, Anavar really boosts lipolysis
    (fat breakdown). It’s thought that this is due to its ability to simply bind to androgen receptors
    and inhibit thyroid-binding globulin. Additionally, this alteration means Anavar has low
    androgenic properties, decreasing the possibility of unwanted aspect effects
    in guys and making it one of the best steroids for women.
    This is the protein naturally found in milk (alongside casein), and the
    preferred protein powder amongst weight lifters.

    Thus even if soy protein was insanely effective for building
    muscle (which it isn’t), the dose is so tiny – it’s going
    to virtually certainly do nothing. There are some testimonials on-line of customers experiencing spectacular transformations from using these legal steroids.

    This offers a useful archive for new customers, and for knowledgeable users researching a model new compound.
    Hurt discount targeted discussions associated to protected usage of AAS,
    TRT or hormone alternative excluding sourcing data. If you
    expertise unwanted effects of Rybrevant which are bothersome or do not go away, talk with your doctor.
    Right Here are some regularly asked questions about the drug’s unwanted effects
    and their solutions. If you’ve issues with side effects that
    don’t go away or they become worse, speak along with your physician or pharmacist.

    They can discuss choices for managing side effects or different obtainable treatment choices.

    However, methyltrienolone, or oral trenbolone, is severely
    hepatotoxic and consequently is now not utilized in drugs, with
    analysis deeming its toxicity unacceptable (31).
    Analysis indicates that if an individual administers Anavar and does not carry weights, any improvements in muscular
    power or mass could also be momentary (29).
    Therefore, any improve in muscle hypertrophy diminishes following
    cycle cessation. Some bodybuilders state that they require Anavar doses of 40 mg in order to see
    notable results. This is indicative of the product being
    underdosed, as 20 mg is greater than enough
    to experience vital adjustments in body composition.
    Anavar was developed and marketed in the course of the
    height of anabolic steroid analysis between the 1950s and the Nineteen Eighties.
    It is the apex of the unending quest to find and develop an anabolic steroid that could presumably be considered perfect.

    With this being said, Anavar is perhaps the closest that science has come to creating what can be thought of the right anabolic steroid.
    Dbol can solely be run for brief cycles should you don’t want to stuff up your liver massively.

    The definitive answer may be lurking within the grey area, however users’ experiences could shed some mild on it.
    Anavar has been reported to offer a barely faster restoration time after exercises.
    Well, shorter recovery instances denote extra frequent actions, leading to quicker progress.

    That’s why it’s best to bear detox at a rehab facility the place
    we can provide treatments to reduce cravings and assist shoppers keep their restoration progress.
    Whatever the challenges might be–discomfort, cravings, or
    a prolonged process–you can depend upon Resurgence to assist you move
    ahead in your restoration journey.
    Nevertheless, like several potent medicine, it comes with a set of side effects and issues that should not be overlooked.
    Regardless Of its low muscle-building potential in guys, the anabolic nature of Anavar has a more potent effect on girls.
    This signifies that women using this steroid will
    witness impressive muscle features in only a few quick weeks.
    Not solely do they turn out to be less effective over time, but in addition constant use will increase the unwanted effects and long-term damage to the body.
    Not solely does Testo-Max enhance your testosterone
    levels, however it also helps to extend your power, stamina, and energy ranges.
    It’s the proper complement for anyone seeking to
    get greater, leaner, and stronger. It’s known as Testo-Max, and it’s a natural testosterone booster that can help enhance your testosterone levels safely and effectively.
