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.

    Simply to shortly recap… anabolic steroids are artificial
    substances much like the male sex hormone testosterone.
    Though doctors do prescribe them to patients, when they do it’s to
    assist folks with sure forms of anaemia and for men who don’t produce enough natural
    testosterone. For ladies Anavar users (14) it’s
    suggested to begin on much decrease quantities. The Anavar cycle may
    even be shorter (4-6 weeks) compared to the male cycle which may doubtlessly final for up to
    16 weeks. Like the lads (see above) the dosages could be increased,
    although not as high, for example 20mg per day could probably be at a peak degree earlier than pulling the again down to cycle off.

    Women usually take between 1iu and 2iu daily, much like female clinical doses.
    Some females take as much as 4iu, but at this degree, females need to be aware that enlargement of areas just like the jaw can happen –
    something that shall be much more outstanding on a female
    face than a male. In either case, HGH will have to be used for 12 weeks at the naked minimal – but for true muscle features with HGH at its full potential, females will be looking at a cycle of a minimum of six months.

    Each Anavar and Dianabol are potent anabolic steroids, and mixing them can improve the risk of
    side effects and put a significant pressure on the physique.

    Some women could find that they should enhance their dosage over time to see the specified results.

    Even although this drug is quite popular with women, there may be evidence that those that take Anavar can experience
    sudden adjustments of their menstrual cycles [12]. Additionally, if you’re a man with low testosterone levels, Anavar can be a good possibility.
    This can cause the blood pressure to rise to harmful ranges, inserting the user
    at risk for a heart assault or stroke. As a end result, these with high blood pressure should be very cautious
    when contemplating utilizing Anavar. When your vitality levels are excessive, you may have more power and endurance to push yourself tougher and longer during a workout or competitors.
    Moreover, animal research have advised that Anavar might help
    to extend the production of purple blood cells, which transport oxygen to the muscular tissues and may contribute to elevated stamina.

    Nonetheless, you will expertise such androgenic unwanted effects as zits hair loss and
    possibly an adverse impact on cholesterol levels. For those
    in search of a safer and authorized various to anabolic steroids, Anvarol by Crazybulk is a really helpful steroid
    various. Some users report feeling a boost in vitality and energy,
    in addition to increased endurance during exercises.
    Others could experience unwanted facet effects such
    as pimples, hair loss, or modifications in temper. Anavar has
    a comparatively quick half-life of 9 hours, so it is
    really helpful to separate the day by day dosage into two equal doses taken all through the day to maintain up steady blood ranges.

    Winstrol is another popular chopping agent that helps to increase power and endurance
    while selling fats loss. Sure, you can take 50 mg of Anavar a day, but it’s essential to
    note that this must be carried out underneath the supervision of a healthcare professional
    or a licensed steroid professional. This dosage is typically extra appropriate for men and experienced steroid
    customers. The really helpful dosage of Anavar for men is 20-50mg per day, and for
    girls is 5-20mg per day. Actual, pure-quality HGH cannot be produced in underground labs as a result of
    huge costs and complexity. Nevertheless, many Chinese labs
    seem like manufacturing high-quality HGH, which is sold as generic.

    This kind of medicine can forestall the nitrogen depletion that
    usually occurs because of train. As a results of both
    of these benefits, you presumably can have a neater time building lean muscle.
    If we detect ALT/AST levels rising notably, bodybuilders at our clinic have had success taking TUDCA, which is a bile acid that has been shown to reduce stress
    on the liver (3). It is suggested not to stack Winstrol with any other oral steroids to
    stop extreme hepatic damage. Measuring fats loss
    through scales is in all probability not wise as a result of simultaneous muscle acquire.

    Thus, though users may observe a notable reduction in body fat within the mirror, the scales can still go up instead of
    down on both of these steroids.
    The lack of danger of water retention is a major benefit of Anavar and a huge reason why it’s such a preferred
    and potent slicing compound, including for aggressive customers.

    Anavar excels at giving you significant enhancements in aesthetics – leanness, hardness, dryness,
    and, briefly, getting ripped and shredded. Anavar will assist preserve
    your efficiency and power capability even on probably the most restricted of
    calorie-deficit diets.
    Usually maintaining correct ranges of testosterone within the blood just
    isn’t a problem when on Anavar as reported by many bodybuilders.
    Anavar like different steroids requires a person to undergo a sequence of steps after supplementation or cutting phase is ending to
    get the physique to “take over” its pure routine.
    For newbies, it is typically recommended to start with a day by day dosage ranging from 20-30mg.
    Commencing with a decrease dosage is essential, and if necessary,
    gradual increments should be thought of to attenuate potential
    undesirable outcomes. This cautious approach allows for a greater
    understanding of individual tolerance and response to the substance.

    After finishing an Oxandrolone cycle, understanding how lengthy this
    substance stays in your system is essential. This steroid,
    like all compounds, has a distinct Half-Life, which is a technical
    term for the amount of time it takes for the
    focus of a drug to reduce by 50% in the blood.

    Andriol is the brand name for oral testosterone, also called
    testosterone undecanoate. The disadvantage to oral testosterone
    is that it is notably costlier than injectable testosterone.

    With Anavar additionally being a costly compound, this cycle can value tons of of dollars.
    This is a standard follow-up cycle to the first Anavar and testosterone cycle listed.
    The best time of day to take Anavar will depend
    upon the individual’s schedule and dosing frequency.
    A typical vary lies between 50 to one hundred milligrams per day, once more depending
    on an individual’s particular needs and tolerance levels.
    When stepping up the dosage, one must pay attention fastidiously to their
    body’s suggestions. Making this adjustment cautiously and attentively
    paves the finest way for optimal outcomes. Throughout the cycle, it is advisable to separate the daily dosage into two equal
    administrations, one within the morning and
    one in the night, to take care of stable blood ranges.
    Another necessary mechanism of Anavar is its capability to enhance nitrogen retention.
    Nitrogen is a critical part of proteins, and sustaining a positive nitrogen stability is significant for muscle
    development. By enhancing nitrogen retention, Anavar creates an environment conducive to muscle growth
    and preservation.
    Analysis has shown that the organic availability of
    oral testosterone is roughly 50% decrease when taken on an empty abdomen (1).
    It is crucial for females to be cautious concerning the dose
    and cycle length to keep away from masculinization effects occurring.
    Males are often on the lookout for medicine or supplements
    to help them build muscle and energy. Anavar is
    taken into account to be a light steroid in comparability
    with others, corresponding to Dianabol or Winstrol.
    It is thought for producing fewer side effects, and its results are typically milder than other steroids.

    Testosterone is the male sexual hormone, necessary for sexual perform,
    the ability to develop body hair, masculiinity and libido.
    Choosing to create a dynamic duo, or perhaps a trio, of steroids in a stack
    is an effective method to extract the most effective results.

    However, it’s crucial to screen your potential companions, as not each steroid is suitable to stack with Anavar, particularly when the first objective is slicing.
    An superior Anavar chopping cycle can also final between six to eight
    weeks, though some experienced users could lengthen this era.

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to
    her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
