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.

    Customers are encouraged to bear blood tests
    during and after PCT to verify their hormone ranges
    and guarantee they’re returning to a standard range.
    Understanding these two substances is important for those considering a Take A Look At and Tren cycle because each
    has distinct effects and risks. Beneath, we will break down what
    makes Testosterone and Trenbolone unique, how they have an effect on the physique,
    and why some people select to use them together in a cycle.
    The content of this article just isn’t supposed to replace professional medical recommendation, and reliance on any info provided herein is at the reader’s
    own risk.
    However the optimistic effects of anabolic steroid use are irrefutable,
    and trenbolone (acetate and enanthate) remains one of
    the highly effective performance-enhancing drugs for muscle progress.
    Trenbolone has by no means been permitted for human consumption because of its toxic nature, and therefore,
    customers are risking their short- and long-term well being
    when taking this compound. In our experience, combining trenbolone with other anabolic steroids
    in a stack has resulted in further well being deterioration. Trenbolone suppresses
    natural testosterone production, which may lead to hormonal imbalance and unwanted effects.
    Testosterone supplementation helps keep balanced hormone levels,
    supporting muscle growth and minimizing the danger of unwanted side effects like libido loss and fatigue.

    During a bulking cycle, the objective is to consume more calories than you burn, which is recognized as a calorie surplus.

    In a Check and Tren bulking cycle, each steroids work together to reinforce
    muscle development and enhance recovery instances, permitting you to carry heavier weights and
    practice extra usually.
    A cycle is a predetermined length of time throughout which you employ Trenbolone, followed by a time period when you do not use it.
    This allows your body to recover and prevents the risk of unfavorable unwanted facet effects.
    I understand any guy who dreads hair loss
    and needs to keep away from Masteron. This AAS is
    a close to certainty for extreme hairline discount and baldness if
    you’ve misplaced the DNA lottery. But there’s
    little doubt that if you’re a guy at or beneath 10% physique fat, Masteron WILL maintain you lean and shredded with veins that draw attention and a feel-good factor that we don’t get with many other AAS.

    Trenbolone will increase the amount of DHT hormone, which is answerable for stimulating the
    hair follicles situated on face. Even in comparison with high
    doses of testosterone, the sexual drive will increase 2-3 occasions.
    Sadly, not like e.g. testosterone, which will increase “aggression” during workouts, trenbolone often will increase it also outside the gym.
    Clearly, I don’t mean getting livid for any purpose, however, whem utilizing tren, I’m undoubtedly rather more
    typically aggravated by issues I wouldn’t normally take note of.

    Trenbolone has a chemical structure that’s just like different anabolic steroids, nevertheless it has a couple of key variations.
    It has a double bond on the ninth and eleventh carbons, which makes it immune to the enzyme aromatase.
    This means that Trenbolone will not convert to estrogen in the physique, which might
    trigger unwanted unwanted side effects like gynecomastia (the
    development of breast tissue in men). Trenbolone acetate only has an active life in our bodies of around three days, however for
    secure hormone levels it is advised to pin this drug
    ED (Every day). The advantage of it being such a fast performing compound is that it gets to
    work rapidly. Trenbolone also comes with an Enanthate
    ester and has some highlighted traits, as you see I mentioned above in regards to the Tren Cough,
    this is not an issue with the Enanthate ester as it is based mostly in oil.

    Most beginners would do nicely with 50mg every other day of Trenbolone Acetate (for a complete of 200mg weekly) and is greater than sufficient for staving off muscle loss throughout a reduce.

    Intermediate Trenbolone dosages enterprise into the
    75 – 100mg every different day range (a complete of 300 – 400mg per week), and usually produces beautiful
    changes within the physique. With that being mentioned, most informal superior customers is not going to venture past 400 – 600mg per
    week, and solely extreme professional and aggressive bodybuilders have been identified to go higher
    than this. These options definitely crush the age-old rumor
    that Trenbolone is just helpful for fat loss or cutting and/or for a pre-competition part.

    Trenbolone, generally known as “tren,” is a potent
    anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) derived from nandrolone, one
    other well-known artificial steroid. Contrarily, trenbolone just isn’t a substrate for both 5-AR or aromatase enzymes [6].
    Thus, trenbolone has more of the fascinating, anabolic,
    nitrogen-sparing results as testosterone and fewer of the undesirable, androgenic,
    virilizing effects. To date, nonetheless, full dissociation of the anabolic effects of an AAS from its androgenic characteristics has been inconceivable, and tren use just isn’t without penalties.
    It is not completely identified why trenbolone causes severe coughing (more so than other injectable steroids); nonetheless,
    one principle suggests androgenic properties to be the primary wrongdoer.

    When you add Trenbolone to your fitness regimen,
    not only do you get to witness an undeniable surge in energy and energy, but it also helps pace up the restoration fee of muscle tissue.
    If you’ve ever spent weeks toiling away in the
    gym, day after day, and seen little to no return in your efforts, it’s comprehensible why sluggish
    gainers could turn out to be annoyed. Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is
    crucial to help preserve the positive aspects made while utilizing Trenbolone and to restore
    pure hormone production. This cycle should be complemented with the addition of one other compound,
    such as testosterone propionate, for the period of 12 weeks to get one of the best results possible.

    You will build a tonne of muscle and burn some fats, but you’re additionally very more likely to expertise some negative results too like..
    A Testosterone and Trenbolone cycle works extraordinarily properly for
    these who don’t want to retain any water whatsoever; otherwise generally identified as
    a ‘dry cycle’ or ‘dry gains’. After you end such a
    cycle, your weight will pretty much keep the same as a result of
    your gains might be pure muscle, quite than water weight.

    Together With exogenous testosterone is crucial.As Quickly As all anabolic steroid
    use comes to an finish, your pure testosterone production will start again. At the conclusion of the cycle,
    most are inspired to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan. This will stimulate pure manufacturing to a larger
    rate and significantly cut back the overall restoration time.
    It also assumes no severe injury was carried out to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) as a result of improper use or irresponsible supplementation practices.
    For slicing cycles, there is no anabolic steroid on the market that compares to Tren Ace.
    It is doubtless certainly one of the finest anabolics that can protect lean tissue throughout
    critical weight-reduction plan. Whereas slicing, the primary objective of the person,
    is to significantly cut back the share of body fat together with weight loss.

    Research has proven that 20 mg/day of Accutane is a highly efficient and
    secure treatment for moderate-to-severe acne (1).

    There can be evidence that Accutane possesses long-term
    results, helping to forestall pimples breakouts in the future.

    Nonetheless, as with any drug, if there are notable benefits, there are also equally notable drawbacks,
    and trenbolone is not an exception. Many countries prohibit the use of trenbolone, leading to authorized implications for people who possess, purchase,
    or sell this steroid. Despite the fact that Anavar
    is an oral steroid, the kidneys additionally course
    of it, so it doesn’t put much strain on the liver.
    Thus, we consider the chance of serious liver harm
    by way of this cycle to be low.
    Collectively, Take A Look At and Tren present a balanced
    enhance in endurance, helping users get through demanding bodily routines with
    out feeling worn out as shortly. One Other reason why Tren can elevate blood stress to dangerous levels is that the steroid will increase the level of norepinephrine and epinephrine, the sympathetic hormones within the physique.
    Some athletes might have it as soon as a week and nonetheless reap
    some of its advantages. Tren is just good for people
    who have experienced taking testosterone or other forms of steroids in the past.

    Those who haven’t but tried an anabolic steroid should
    refrain from using it. Even when you have been utilizing steroid
    up to now years, taking Trenbolone may be risky for these
    with bodily or mental points. In my opinion, the most effective dose for the primary cycle involving Trenbolone is 350mg/week mixed with
    175mg/week of testosterone.
