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.

    This makes it a wonderful athletic enhancing steroid, a incredible chopping steroid.
    A somewhat mild steroid, oxandrolone is a dehydratase dosteronederivative and is certainly one of the most side-effect friendly steroids on the
    market. Carrying a very delicate androgenic nature with nearly
    no androgenic exercise. Anadrole re-creates the consequences of Oxymethalone (known as Anadrol, some of the powerful anabolic steroids in existence) but with out the side
    effects. Anavar may be stacked with different
    steroids corresponding to Winstrol, Clenbuterol, and Trenbolone to enhance its effects.

    Anavar just isn’t probably the most suppressive steroid, but your pure testosterone
    production is likely to have taken a success. This could cause symptoms of low testosterone when your cycle ends,
    together with lack of muscle and fats achieve. On the downside,
    Tren can negatively impression your cardio performance and hamper your fat loss efforts.

    This stack will take dryness and muscle hardness to a new degree in comparability with Anavar
    alone.
    It is, however, useful as a average lean mass gainer for
    men and effective for ladies when stacked with Primobolan or Winstrol.
    400mg weekly of Trenbolone Acetate for eight weeks
    will compound considerably on the outcomes of Anavar.
    100mg of testosterone enanthate weekly for 12 weeks is sufficient to support
    the conventional function of the hormone.
    Thus, Anavar is doubtless one of the few anabolic steroids obtainable that
    girls can take to construct muscle and burn fat without
    forming a masculine appearance. This is because Anavar can suppress natural testosterone production,
    and combining it with exogenous testosterone can help mitigate this effect.
    Nonetheless, it’s important to keep in mind
    that including testosterone to the mix can enhance the chance of side effects, significantly if the dosage is just too high.

    If you’re an endurance athlete looking to enhance your performance,
    Anavar can provide a number of benefits.
    It’s a light steroid that may improve your cardiovascular endurance, increase
    oxygen supply to your muscular tissues, and enhance your pink blood cell rely.
    Whereas Anavar is considered a milder steroid, it can still suppress
    natural testosterone manufacturing.
    No, the sky-high anabolic rating of Anavar doesn’t translate to it
    being a powerful muscle builder. It has comparatively weak muscle-gaining potential in comparison with many other steroids,
    with its anabolic results being most helpful for muscle and energy preservation on slicing cycles13.

    Oxandrolone was little question determined to be a mild
    anabolic steroid way again then, which made it potential to be tolerated by female and
    youngster patients10. Nonetheless, if a consumer stacks Anavar with
    other anabolic steroids, this suppressing effect might be exacerbated.

    Lazar’s before/after (above) is an efficient example
    of an ‘anavar transformation’. I’m not saying Lazar 100 percent took anavar,
    however if you food regimen hard and work your butt off,
    these outcomes are typical of somebody taking anavar for eight weeks.
    Not to mention that anavar will hold your muscle tissue looking fuller on-cycle.
    You can go onto Youtube and watch customers focus on their first expertise and listen to individuals debate about what they
    think and the way much they’ve taken and for the
    way lengthy.
    However, some individuals do experience benefits within the first
    week or two of taking it. When it involves combining Anavar
    with other substances, warning is advised. Anavar is
    understood to be a relatively delicate steroid with low potential for unwanted aspect effects, however it could nonetheless be harmful when used irresponsibly
    or in combination with sure substances. It’s essential to notice that Anavar can have
    some mild unwanted effects, similar to headaches, nausea,
    and pimples.
    Nonetheless, we have additionally discovered Anavar to boost T3
    (triiodothyronine) levels, a potent thyroid fat-burning hormone that also has constructive effects on the metabolism.
    Anavar or Var can additionally be used in catabolic illness, burn damage,
    an infection, and those recovering from varied surgeries.
    But note that long-term use and a high dose of Anavar
    may cause varied unwanted effects, so keep away from it.

    People that buy underground lab Anavar by way of the black market could claim doses of 15–25 mg
    per day are modest. This is as a outcome of of copious scams
    the place the label states forty mg of Anavar, however actually, it is only
    20 mg. Thus, the above dosage recommendations are primarily based on taking genuine Anavar.
    Nevertheless, as a end result of Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990,
    Anavar turned illegal to purchase without a
    medical purpose. Thus, regular prescriptions for bodybuilders and
    athletes had been no longer issued.
    When Im not within the health club or spending time away from
    my family i often think about what advice would assist others achieve theirs goals just like these inspired
    mine. If you have prior expertise with Anavar and are in search of more vital outcomes, you could select to increase your dosage.
    Nonetheless, it’s important to notice that larger doses of Anavar improve the risk
    of unwanted aspect effects. For experienced customers,
    a typical dose vary is 50-80mg per day, taken for a interval of 8-10 weeks.
    Anavar is an anabolic steroid that has been shown to improve protein synthesis,
    growing muscle mass and strength. Anavar is a mild steroid,
    but it can nonetheless cause unwanted side effects similar to zits, hair loss, and mood swings.
    It can also have adverse effects on your liver, so it is necessary
    to take breaks between cycles and monitor your liver
    function.
    Body composition and metabolic fee further have an effect on Anavar’s pharmacokinetics.
    Individuals with greater lean body mass may have adjusted doses for sufficient anabolic stimulation, while metabolic rate variations influence drug clearance.
    Genetic variations in hepatic enzyme exercise also can alter Anavar metabolism, affecting efficacy
    and duration of motion.
    Subsequently, it’s usually included initially of any cycle for
    the primary 6 – 8 weeks earlier than it is discontinued.
    Anavar cycles can be prolonged to a maximum of 10
    weeks at an affordable dosage, nonetheless, due to its
    lower degree of liver toxicity than different oral
    compounds. Therefore, Anavar should not be taken frivolously within the area of suppressed
    and disrupted hormonal function.
