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 anabolic ranking is 500, indicating its ability to add
    massive quantities of lean muscle. We have seen customers achieve
    as a lot as 20 pounds following their first trenbolone cycle.

    The other side effects users might expect to come across include an increase in acne in addition to a rise within the levels of
    unhealthy ldl cholesterol. In some fewer events, the unwanted effects may get critical,
    by which case, the utilization of the complement should be
    stopped immediately. X-Factor which is Arachidonic acid should be dosed at 1000mg and Creatine at 5g after a cycle.

    If you might be experiencing any adverse results
    on your libido while taking Anavar, it is important to speak to your doctor.
    If you’re experiencing a decrease in libido whereas taking Anavar, it is necessary
    to discuss to your physician. They could possibly regulate your dosage
    or prescribe medicine to help enhance your testosterone ranges.

    One of the drawbacks to being on TRT is that endogenous testosterone ranges will decrease significantly, inflicting testosterone dependence.
    The higher the dose of testosterone, the bigger the increase in blood
    strain. Winstrol will also raise liver enzymes notably, so shorter cycles are generally implemented (not beyond 6–8 weeks).

    Zac transitioned from being lean to ripped, gaining noticeable quantities of muscle
    whereas lowering his body fats proportion and turning into extra
    vascular. This is as a outcome of of it causing
    important cardiovascular pressure as a end result of an increase in levels
    of cholesterol (LDL). A few of our feminine sufferers have noticed their menstrual cycles becoming irregular, particularly on larger doses
    and toward the top of their cycle.
    Anavar is an artificial steroid that’s structurally similar to testosterone.

    It activates the androgen receptor which outcomes in increased protein synthesis,
    nitrogen retention, and glycogenolysis – all of which contribute to constructing muscle mass.

    Finally, for well-versed, seasoned bodybuilders, a sophisticated Anavar cycle could entail a better dosage – probably 80 to 100 milligrams a day –
    to carve that chiseled look. At this level, Anavar will usually
    be combined with different compounds for a holistic range of benefits.
    Nonetheless, mindfully growing dosages, listening to your
    body’s cues, and preserving the cycle period in a
    protected vary stay paramount, no matter your bodybuilding experience.
    In sculpting one’s physique, intermediate bodybuilders have crossed the edge of the
    beginning part and accrued enough perception to understand their our bodies and its
    reactions better.
    Anavar is more commonly utilized compared
    to Winstrol, which could be attributed to it being a much less poisonous compound and utilized by both sexes.

    Whereas the drug is often referred to as ‘The Lady
    Steroid,’ it isn’t devoid of undesirable outcomes for ladies.
    Potential adverse effects embody the deepening of the voice and adjustments within the menstrual cycle.

    Nevertheless, it’s important to notice that these undesirable outcomes are lowered with the correct dosage and acceptable cycle lengths.

    Establishing an optimum Oxandrolone cycle frequency holds equal significance to identifying the right dosage
    and duration. Engaging in excessive or consecutive cycles may result in undesired outcomes and
    potential well being points.
    Anavar is an oral steroid, thus a variety of the drug has to pass via
    the liver earlier than getting into the bloodstream.

    This may cause some stress on the liver, however, this impact is
    considered gentle, as a result of steroid additionally being metabolized by the
    kidneys. In bodybuilding circles, many believe Anavar
    to be the most secure steroid ever created. Medical Doctors do prescribe Anavar
    to kids with cachexia, demonstrating its low
    toxicity but this doesn’t mean that it’s illegal and unsupervised use is secure as
    properly. Anavar is a relatively delicate steroid, in comparison with other AAS such as trenbolone or anadrol.

    Both Anavar and Winstrol are used for gaining lean muscle and getting rid
    of extra fat. Nevertheless, Winstrol is a a lot
    harsher compound and combining these two steroids
    takes away the side-effects-friendly nature of Anavar.

    Due to its range, Oxandrolone can be used alone and together with
    different steroids, oral or injectable.
    This desk supplies real-world examples of the adjustments individuals have experienced by way of the utilization of Anavar.
    Some are usually moist compounds, which might lead to joint problems
    when taken in excessive doses with out an aromatase inhibitor (AI), resulting in excess water
    retention that impacts the joints. These medication block estrogen exercise in the body, which signals the testes
    to restart testosterone production. It’s additionally beneficial
    to make use of on-cycle help dietary supplements during an Anavar cycle.
    Taking a testosterone base can be advised to avoid testosterone suppression.
    General, the short half-life leads Anavar to be dosed twice per day
    in cycles to maintain stability.
    This is a optimistic for bodybuilders, as they wish
    to maintain sufficient DHT ranges, with the hormone binding to androgen receptors as much as five times more successfully
    than testosterone. Testicular atrophy is a common signal of decreased testosterone levels and impaired spermatogenesis.
    We have seen Anavar negatively affect fertility as a end result of compromised HPT axis function. Nevertheless, sperm amount and quality
    typically improve post-cycle over a number of weeks or months.
    We find that when bodybuilders administer Anavar, they
    usually experience a rise in well-being, confidence, motivation, and
    aggression. This is as a outcome of of exogenous testosterone supplementation; nonetheless,
    once a cycle finishes, users typically expertise
    fatigue and reduced libido. This is a unique impact in comparison with different anabolic steroids, which
    usually decrease subcutaneous fats whereas growing visceral fats (5).

    Several potential unwanted effects can happen when taking Anavar, especially in feminine users.
    It’s necessary to restrict the duration and dosage of Anavar use to reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity.
    Regular liver perform tests must also be conducted while taking Anavar.
    Nausea could be accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting, abdomen pain, and lack of
    appetite. If you experience any of those side effects,
    it’s important to contact your doctor right away.

    In some cases, they could advocate a different dose or schedule for taking
    Anavar.
    Thus, the bodybuilder who wisely chooses Anavar® will have the
    extra quantity of muscle gasoline out there to complete the additional reps required to drag the trigger for muscles to grow.
    Thus, a average dose taken within the morning is basically out of
    the system by night, yet supplies reasonable ranges of androgen through the day and
    early evening. Like the gentlemen, female Anavar users’ cycles usually span six to eight
    weeks. This timeframe allows for significant enhancements
    in muscle tone, vascularity, or strength with out pushing the physique right into a
    danger zone of prolonged exposure to the compound.

    In case of stacking, ladies can think about teaming up Anavar with other delicate steroids, keeping the dosage
    low. This strategy ensures concord between compounds and
    maximizes the potential of their bodybuilding quest.

    In conclusion, when considering the choice to buy Anavar,
    it is important to approach it with caution, responsibility,
    and proper research.
