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.

    Known for its capacity to boost muscle development, improve energy, and assist fat loss, Anavar is a
    favorite as a outcome of its milder unwanted aspect effects
    compared to other steroids. Nonetheless, with its recognition comes a major challenge—the
    rise of counterfeit products. For cutting cycles, where the first goal is to
    reduce body fats while preserving lean muscle mass, a typical Anavar dosage
    for males ranges from 50 to 80 milligrams (mg) per day.
    Ladies, however, often discover an efficient vary of 10 to twenty mg
    per day. These dosages assist users achieve a lean and outlined physique while minimizing the chance of virilization in females.

    Customers often see visible strength gains, permitting them to coach more successfully.
    Therefore, Anavar should not be taken lightly in the
    space of suppressed and disrupted hormonal operate.

    If it can suppress the HPTA (Hypothalamic Pituitary
    Testicular Axis) after a mere 5 days of use at 15mg per
    day, it can and can induce full shutdown over weeks of use at
    higher ‘bodybuilding doses’. Understanding how Anavar operates can present insight into its effectiveness for reaching
    fitness goals. This anabolic compound works by way of distinct mechanisms that contribute to muscle growth, fat
    reduction, and enhanced physical performance.
    Folks usually ask us what kind of results they can expect taking Anavar.

    And it is different from Urology, a surgical specialty that doesn’t give consideration to the frequent medical
    features of how androgens impact men. It’s subsequently not recommend if gaining mass,
    measurement and energy is the number one precedence.
    #3 Suppresses pure testosterone – The hassle with
    anabolic steroids is that though they provide an added increase of testosterone while you’re on them, additionally they lower your natural testosterone.
    Though it’s easy for the typical fitness center rat to buy anavar now, it hasn’t always been this way.

    So if you want to purchase anavar from the black market, the secret is to get a good,
    reliable supplier (which is troublesome to come back by).

    Unethical suppliers have been the reason for customers experiencing terrible unwanted effects, by selling substances which weren’t steroids.
    You can maintain rising once more relying on outcomes, restoration and the way you’re feeling.
    The most dosage that can be safely consumed is 100mg on a regular basis, but that’s
    only for advance users who’re used to taking the drug and have built up their tolerance.

    Trenbolone is one of the best recomp steroid but also the
    harshest AAS we will use. Only run this cycle if you’ve used Tren before
    and perceive tips on how to deal with its unwanted effects.

    Although it’s an injectable steroid, Tren is known to be more
    liver-toxic than Anavar, so we keep this as a brief cycle.
    This is a male-only stack due to Trenbolone being unsuitable
    for girls.
    Although it might possibly carry out and help fairly nicely in the
    area of reaching fats loss and physique definition, it is a wonderful compound for mass gaining, energy,
    and bulking. Being that it is three – 6 instances
    the anabolic strength of Testosterone, Anavar cycles can certainly be bulking cycles without problem.
    US athletes often stack Anavar with Clenbuterol for cutting or Testosterone Propionate for lean bulking.
    These mixtures are favored for his or her synergistic effects
    in decreasing body fat whereas selling muscle retention. According to insights from US bodybuilding forums, Anavar works finest in shorter cycles of
    6–8 weeks, followed by a comprehensive Post-Cycle Remedy (PCT) routine to revive
    natural hormonal levels. Unlike many anabolic brokers,
    Anavar has a comparatively mild aspect impact profile, making it a viable choice
    for both men and women. It minimizes the chance of frequent androgenic results, corresponding to extreme hair development
    or voice deepening in women, while still delivering noticeable benefits in power
    and physique composition.
    Alcohol has a negative impact on cortisol levels (35); thus, fat-burning might become inhibited.
    Moreover, cortisol is a catabolic hormone, that means heavy alcohol consumption may scale back muscle mass.
    For maximum outcomes, users ought to minimize alcohol
    consumption throughout a cycle. Nevertheless, low quantities of alcohol are unlikely
    to have an effect on a user’s results significantly.
    When anabolic steroids are taken with meals, absorption is inhibited.
    This is as a outcome of of them being fat-soluble compounds, thus causing the steroid to dissolve when taken with dietary fats.
    Due To This Fact, Anavar and different anabolic steroids should be taken on an empty stomach for optimal outcomes.

    Anavar’s half-life can improve past this range,
    relying on the age of the consumer. For instance, its half-life could be as
    excessive as 13.3 hours in the aged (23). Thus, if we state the half-life as 10.4 hours, a post-cycle remedy protocol ought to begin 57 hours after
    the ultimate dose.
    This is more of a sophisticated cycle as we’re stacking two oral AAS, which
    comes with dangers. I wouldn’t run this
    cycle for greater than six weeks or eight on the maximum.
    This is a pleasant contest prep stack suited for hardcore users
    and competitors. Regardless Of the similar benefits of both steroids, most girls will
    still wish to choose Anavar because it’s a considerably much less potent
    steroid than Winstrol when it comes to unwanted effects.

    The Anavar/Clen combo is good sufficient to get you some spectacular weight loss results.
    Maintain Clenbuterol to 50mcg day by day and run it in 2 weeks on/2 weeks off sample.

    Failure to do so will more than likely result in an inferior product.
    Then email me with TRANACTION NUMBER, AMOUNT TRANSFERRED, YOUR ODRDER and YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS.
    ANAVAR is ok for movements that have restricted range of movement, like partial army
    press Not meant as a non-troll-conduit? Information NVE
    and its president Robert Occhifinto, served 18 months In jail In .
    ANAVAR entered the business recent out of the shots, do they effect the body?

    Another blistering night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s suffocating you.
    I found myself logged into casino again. It’s usually my evening ritual when the heat finally relents.

    Honestly, lately, the wins have been few and far between. My balance is looking thinner than my
    patience, and I’m starting to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual games.
    She’s been giving me that look, you know?

    My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always lurking around, practically shadowing me – he’s always on here too.
    And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly on a lucky streak.
    Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy
    aviator_game where the plane flies off with all your
    hopes. He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and slot_game_4.

    It’s like this place is rigged in his favor.
    Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way
    he looks at my wife when she’s not looking. Makes a
    man uneasy, this heat does.

    Despite all that, and maybe it’s just addiction, I still find
    myself drawn to favorite_slot_game. There’s something
    about those sweet symbols that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers aren’t falling my way.

    Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the gaming spirits will finally
    throw me a bone. Or maybe my wife will just throw me out.
    Either way, here I am, spinning again at sportsbook.

    Pros:
    Available 24/7 (perfect for my nocturnal habits)
    Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
    They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy

    Cons:
    My personal luck here has been incredibly bad
    Seeing him win constantly is incredibly frustrating
    Starting to seriously impact my real-life budget and relationships

    Overall: Divided. It’s a handy option to pass the hot evenings, but my recent
    experiences and observations are making me seriously question if it’s worth the risk.
    Especially with everything else going on.
