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.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own blog and was wondering what all is needed
    to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.

    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?

  • steroid cycles

    To forestall this, an efficient SERM may be taken (Nolvadex) all through the entire
    cycle. Testosterone propionate is another fast-acting ester,
    albeit slower than suspension. Some bodybuilders view propionate as
    cost-effective as a result of its worth is decrease; nonetheless, propionate is dosed at a hundred mg/mL as an alternative of 250 mg/mL (the ordinary
    testosterone dosage). Anavar may even suppress endogenous testosterone, causing a
    state of hypogonadism post-cycle. This usually recovers in a matter of weeks post-cycle; nevertheless, abuse of Anavar may lead
    to long-term testosterone deficiency. Therefore,
    sticking to a cautious yet efficient dose (specified within the desk
    above) will retain women’s femininity whereas producing significant
    fat loss. As Soon As novices have built up a level of tolerance to Anavar,
    they will start cycles at 20 mg/day and improve the period to eight weeks.

    This can be a big issue with some steroids, where there are often no various buying avenues.
    I believe the first six weeks of the diet and training are finally what help determine the end result after a
    typical week diet. Start putting within the work and suffering early on to yield higher results.

    Nevertheless, in our lipid profile testing,
    Anavar only causes delicate cardiovascular pressure compared to different
    anabolic steroids. Anavar provides you with a nice strength enhance, which is welcome when weight-reduction plan. Anavar’s ability to dry and harden the physique is simply useful when you lean, retain current, and
    build lean muscle. Stacking Clen with Anavar will boost fats loss, assist you
    to achieve lean muscle, and promote a more durable and dryer physique with elevated vascularity.

    We stick to a low dose of Anavar right here to attenuate extra unwanted effects
    on prime of Clen’s, however you possibly can optionally take more Anavar
    if it suits your goals. This slicing cycle makes use of the powerful fats loss
    steroid Anavar, which will compound significantly on the effects of Clenbuterol.
    The above chopping cycle is appropriate solely for these who understand and know the
    means to handle the side effects of anabolic steroid use.
    When LDL cholesterol increases too much, it can put you susceptible to blocked arteries and raise your risk
    of heart illness. Eating a cholesterol-friendly diet is critical to attenuate all risks, and since Anavar is principally used for slicing,
    your food plan is not likely to be a concern. Together With loads of healthy
    fat within the food plan will add to risk reduction.
    Lets say you took Anadrol for six weeks, stacked with Testosterone and
    Deca Durabolin. This will give your body time to recuperate and can help to attenuate
    the unwanted side effects of Anadrol. Anadrol can also be nice for rising power, so if you’re seeking to get stronger as properly as bigger, then that is the steroid for you.
    The really helpful dosage of Anavar is mg per day, while the really helpful dosage of Anadrol is mg per day.
    Over the years a lot of bodybuilders and athletes have abused Anadrol, which has led
    to it being banned in a lot of sports activities.

    Anadrol works by binding to androgen receptors within the physique, which then causes
    a rise in protein synthesis.
    Nevertheless, that is not to say liver problems aren’t a concern with this drug.
    Anavar continues to be an oral steroid that should be taken critically, particularly relating to
    day by day dosage and cycle size. As we mentioned in this Anadrol cycle, Anadrol is utilized by bodybuilders to assist improve muscle
    mass and energy. It is also used to scale back restoration time and enhance athletic efficiency.
    Nearly everyone into fitness and bodybuilding knows
    the loopy positive aspects that can be had with anabolic steroids.

    However, we know Winstrol’s unwanted effects are simply as potent because the outcomes
    it yields. Due To This Fact, Winstrol is usually solely cycled in moderate doses by intermediate steroid users who tolerate it properly.
    Alcohol is to not be consumed when taking Winstrol as a precaution for the liver.
    When somebody takes hepatotoxic oral anabolic
    steroids like Winstrol, AST and ALT enzymes will rise considerably, indicating hepatic inflammation. If customers tolerate this cycle properly, they could extend the period
    to 8 weeks for further gains. Girls who can preserve an Anavar-only cycle at the recommended every day dosage of 10 mg do not want to fret about this concern.
    Research has proven anabolic steroids increase dash
    velocity in rats by up to 29% (14). Anavar
    has confirmed successful in treating burn patients due to
    its capacity to accelerate recovery. Enhanced restoration enables
    an athlete to extend coaching intensity, length, and frequency for enhanced efficiency.
    With increased purple blood cell rely and increased ATP production, muscular endurance additionally improves on Anavar.
    Due To This Fact, because Anavar doesn’t usually cause the above unwanted side effects, it’s generally taken by females seeking to build
    muscle and burn fat. Furthermore, water retention is unlikely on Anavar,
    with the compound creating a dry and outlined look.
    This diuretic impact can be prone to enhance vascularity and muscle striations while contributing to a
    leaner look.
    Anadrol stacked with one other steroid could depart a woman unscathed in regards to masculinization; however, we
    see testosterone suppression, liver strain, and blood strain as likely issues.

    Stacking a quantity of steroids collectively can improve results, promoting further lean muscle and fat-burning.
    Furthermore, Anadrol is a DHT spinoff, so it does not aromatize.
    However, it is highly estrogenic, directly stimulating
    the estrogen receptors. We have seen this trigger vast amounts of water retention, especially when users’ diets include adequate amounts of sodium.

    To put this dosage into perspective, advanced male steroid users sometimes take
    50–100 mg/day for eight weeks. In studies, women have taken megadoses of Anadrol (150 mg/day for 30
    weeks) with out experiencing any symptoms of virilization.
    Whenever I cycle steroids, I at all times have blood exams carried out before, during,
    and after to see how my body is doing. From taking
    a look at my blood outcomes mid-cycle (for both Var only cycles),
    it was apparent that Anavar profoundly impacted my cholesterol and triglycerides.
    My LDL (‘bad’ cholesterol) and triglycerides had been raised, and my HDL (‘good’ cholesterol) was lower.
    Virtually everyone utilizing Anavar will use it for the purpose of
    slicing or recomping, which, in my view, is where it shines.
    I have used Oxandrolone twice for chopping and
    recomping, and I can actually attest to only how potent it’s at enhancing physique ‘aesthetics’.

    Keeping your skin clean and dry is one of the simplest ways to stop breakouts when on an Anavar cycle.
    Best of all, it can be used by each women and men fitness folks,
    and it doesn’t come with the same dangers as steroids.
    So if you’re on the lookout for a secure and effective approach to construct muscle,
    Anadrole is value considering.

    Combining this cautious selection course of with responsible utilization paves the finest way for a optimistic experience.
    Furthermore, pair it with a strong food regimen and an effective
    workout routine for optimum impact. Your pathway to health objectives need not be a
    tough one, and with the correct use of instruments like Anavar, those objectives might be closer than you suppose.

    Collectively, they can substantially enhance muscle definition and energy.
    Trenbolone is thought for its energy, so warning and low dosages are advised – typically starting round 50mg each different
    day. Simply like enough dosage, the right cycle duration is essential while
    utilizing Oxandrolone. The most common cycle lasts 6-8 weeks for males, while ladies often comply with a 6-week cycle.

    It can dry out your physique, promote unbelievable muscle hardening, and
    allow for a very dry, lean, and shredded body best for contests or
    personal objectives. Ideally, you’ll be at a low body fat stage
    earlier than utilizing Anavar to enjoy its maximum
    physique enhancement effects. Oxandrolone was no doubt determined to be a gentle anabolic steroid method again then, which
    made it attainable to be tolerated by female and child patients10.
    A typical PCT protocol after an Anavar cycle may contain using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) corresponding to tamoxifen or clomiphene.
    These medications work by stimulating the body’s natural manufacturing of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in flip promote the production of
    endogenous testosterone. The period and dosage of
    the PCT will range based mostly on the size and dosage of the Anavar cycle, in addition to particular person factors.

    Anavar enhances metabolic rate and lipolysis15; this makes Anavar an especially highly effective fat-burning steroid where calories
    and stored body fats are effectively utilized as energy.
    Your metabolic price will increase, and you can see
    burning fat quicker and more efficient. Naturally,
    your food regimen should help fat loss, which will all
    the time be the case on a chopping cycle. Anavar’s producers will always label it for use as directed by your physician; nevertheless, most individuals
    utilizing it don’t examine into the doctor’s office. Two tablets
    a day stay our suggestion, some individuals have been noticed to
    take up to four tablets a day.
    However, with Anavar’s fat-burning effects and muscle features being retained post-cycle, there might
    be not a fantastic want for most individuals to make the most of Anavar
    all 12 months spherical. Alcohol has a adverse impact on cortisol ranges
    (35); thus, fat-burning may turn out to be inhibited. Moreover,
    cortisol is a catabolic hormone, which means heavy alcohol consumption could reduce muscle mass.
    For maximum outcomes, customers ought to decrease alcohol consumption throughout a cycle.

    However, low quantities of alcohol are unlikely to have an effect on a user’s results considerably.
    Nonetheless, clenbuterol just isn’t an anabolic steroid; therefore, we don’t see it have an effect on natural testosterone ranges to any important diploma.

    When Anavar (oxandrolone) was first produced, it was
    authorized to purchase for bodybuilding functions.

    All merchandise are authentic and many may be verified on the manufacturer’s official
    web site using special codes on their packaging. We are
    proud to say that you can find Anavar for sale at a great value in our online retailer and buy it here with
    full confidence. The really helpful dosage of Anavar for males is
    mg per day, and the dosage for girls is mg per day.
    It is necessary to start out with the lowest dose possible and
    gradually increase the dosage as wanted. I am a muscular
    guy with a lot consideration and recognition for my physique.
    I started with little or no and always put 110% into the gym to
    get to the place I am now. From anabolic steroids to SARMs
    to peptides and ancillary medication, I’ve carried out it in some
    unspecified time in the future in my life, and I can relate.

    These brands are recognized for his or her effectiveness
    and lower unwanted effects compared to other anabolic steroids, which may trigger significant points like hair loss
    and pimples. Real-life experiences can supply profound insights into the potential
    advantages and challenges of using Anavar for health and performance
    enhancement. Here, we share success stories of people who have achieved their health targets with the help of Anavar, serving as inspiration and steerage for these considering its use.
    Figuring Out the simplest dosage for an individual is crucial to minimizing
    potential adverse effects and optimizing the benefits of gear like Anavar.
    Nonetheless, it’s essential to notice that there isn’t any one-size-fits-all dosage, as individual responses can range based mostly on factors such as
    age, gender, total well being, and fitness targets.

    Anavar is taken into account delicate, however
    even low-risk steroids can suppress pure testosterone manufacturing.
    Anavar, also referred to as Oxandrolone, is classified under Schedule III of the Managed Substances Act.
    This designation locations it alongside different anabolic steroids, signifying its potential
    for abuse and the necessity for regulated distribution.
    Due To This Fact, any improve in muscle hypertrophy diminishes following cycle cessation. Some bodybuilders state that
    they require Anavar doses of forty mg in order to see notable
    outcomes. This is indicative of the product
    being underdosed, as 20 mg is more than adequate to expertise vital changes in body composition.
    Consuming a cholesterol-friendly diet is crucial to attenuate
    all dangers, and since Anavar is mainly used for chopping, your food plan isn’t prone to
    be a priority. Including plenty of wholesome fats in the diet will add to risk reduction. These long-term
    unwanted aspect effects are much more likely to return about from some other extra highly effective steroids you may be stacking Anavar with rather than from Anavar itself.

    I used three tablets per day for the first 2-3 weeks as directed
    on the label, but then I kicked it to 4 pills/day and ran the bottle out.

    2 bottles of Anvarol is all you’d need, but when you will use 4 pills/day for the whole eight weeks,
    then I think you’d need three of those in that case.

    The greater your dose of Anavar, the extra severe your testosterone suppression is
    prone to be. It can take several months for
    your testosterone to recuperate its regular operate after finishing an Anavar cycle.

    Waiting for this to naturally happen is not an possibility as a end
    result of low testosterone is significantly debilitating.
    And similar to the positive results, the standard of your Anavar can play a BIG half in the varieties and severity of
    side effects.
    Ldl Cholesterol levels are more likely to return to regular as quickly
    as users discontinue supplementation. We have discovered
    that DHT-related unwanted side effects are largely determined by genetics.
    Thus, some individuals could expertise vital hair loss from a low dose
    of Anavar. Whereas others might expertise no hair loss whereas taking
    excessive doses of trenbolone. Anavar is a C17-alpha-alkylated oral steroid,
    that means the compound shall be fully active after bypassing the liver.
