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.

    When combined with a balanced food regimen and common exercise regimen, the impact of Anavar on fat
    loss is usually significant. Despite being less visible, the impact on the resilience of the body is noteworthy.

    be sensible to ensure you are healthy before using the substance.

    primarily based on components corresponding to food plan, train, genetics, and the particular dosage and
    length of the cycle. Then you should determine your objectives precisely, which might assist decide your
    doses and the cycle size. I’ll additionally look at and show you the side effects
    you might expertise and supply tips about the means to use them safely and effectively.
    In this section, I will talk about the varied elements that can impression Anavar’s outcomes, similar to dosage,
    food plan and diet, training regimen, and particular person elements.

    Recuperation intervals are mandatory to let
    your pure hormonal steadiness return to its normal state and to provide your liver an essential break.
    Some individuals may be tempted to enterprise beyond the beneficial thresholds within the pursuit of extra impressive positive aspects.
    This emphasizes the importance of sticking to responsible dosage parameters.
    Anavar can be utilized in numerous methods in bodybuilding, every offering
    unique potential benefits.
    Right Here, we will analyze genuine before and after pics for both women and men, aiming to give
    you a actuality verify of what to anticipate. Combining Anavar with Testosterone Enanthate can result in vital results,
    taking body transformation to the following degree. The synergistic effects of
    those two compounds offer distinct advantages that transcend the person contributions of each component.

    Anavar is also likely to improve ldl cholesterol, which might cause problems for these with pre-existing
    coronary heart conditions. Likewise, it could also exacerbate any kidney issues and it’s value getting checked before you strive utilizing Anavar.

    Anavar is much less liver toxic than some options
    but it’s not utterly harmless for the liver both.
    This is especially true when the drug is used in greater quantities and
    is also particularly true when you consider that Anavar
    is an oral drug that can’t be injected. This means it needs to move
    via the liver immediately and places extra of a strain on it.
    However it’s rather a particular case, since it is not so difficult to search out the necessary information about tips
    on how to correctly use Anavar steroid. However what’s price noting is the absence of negative effect
    of Anavar on the liver.

    As with most drugs, there’ll always be side effects, particularly when you use them in extra.
    The biggest drawbacks of Clenbuterol must be that the unwanted
    effects are insufferable and that it is an illegal compound.
    When it comes to drugs that affect Beta
    Receptors, they may all have related effects. The problem with advising on banned substances is
    that there are restricted medical research on the doses we use these substances.

    After being an Anavar consumer (with my wife) for a very long time, I’m right here to share with you a few of my exciting progress and provide insight into whether or not this supplement is worth your time.
    Two weeks into pharma grade prescribed Var (50mg) on high of my TRT
    protocol and I’m gaining at a speedy price.
    This will produce even harsher unwanted side effects than the Anadrol/testosterone, albeit with more muscle features.

    Mg for mg, Anavar is technically 6x more anabolic
    than testosterone (6); nevertheless, in vivo, this does not translate into more muscle gains.

    Anavar (oxandrolone) is an oral anabolic and one
    of the least toxic steroids we’ve seen (alongside testosterone).

    Correct timing is essential to harnessing its power and physique enhancing abilities.
    Our goal is to create an in-depth background of efficiency enhancing medicine from every background
    while building a group around dialogue of those substances.
    To achieve the most effective outcomes, it is typically mixed with different bulking steroids similar to Dianabol or Anadrol.

    Primarily Based on my research and experience, the most effective time to take Anavar is
    in the morning, on an empty abdomen. This is as a outcome of Anavar has a half-life of only four
    to 6 hours, so taking it within the morning will
    ensure that it stays active in your system throughout the day.
    It is very recommended that you just try Anvarol or the Cutting
    Stack for a minimum of eight weeks to get one of the best
    outcomes. Customers who want instant and safe outcomes typically stack Anavar
    with Dianabol.
    In future Anavar cycles, 20mg could also be used from the first
    week onward; and the size of a cycle may be elevated to eight weeks.
    A PCT isn’t typically used to help restore testosterone
    ranges from an anavar-only cycle, as most individuals tolerate the drug very nicely.

    You can hold growing once more depending on outcomes, restoration and how you’re feeling.
    The maximum dosage that can be safely consumed is 100mg everyday, but that’s
    only for advance customers who’re used to taking
    the drug and have built up their tolerance.
    Oxandrolone provides exceptional advantages by means of muscle gain, fats loss, strength, performance,
    and general physique composition. By responsibly incorporating Anavar into your
    health routine and following the required precautions, you
    can optimize its effects and achieve your required targets.

    It’s important to note that while Anavar offers spectacular benefits,
    accountable use and correct guidance are crucial.

    Consulting with healthcare professionals or experienced health specialists is recommended to make sure the suitable dosage and duration of use for your particular goals and desires.

    It also finds intensive use in promoting recovery from severe burns and injuries.

    Nonetheless, it’s essential to note that Oxandrolone should be administered underneath careful
    medical supervision to minimize potential dangers and adverse results.
    It is extensively used by pro bodybuilders and elite athletes of each sexes,
    females, and males. We strongly suggest getting Anavar solely from a dependable supply
    that can provide third Get Together Lab Testing. Its
