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.

    Anadrole helps to increase red blood cell production, delivering extra oxygen to muscle tissue for increased power and endurance. It also helps to advertise nitrogen retention, which is essential for protein synthesis. Cycle length is determined by components such as experience, objectives, and well being issues. Brief cycles (6-8 weeks) go nicely with newbies, minimizing exposure to potential unwanted aspect effects.
    It’s always prudent to search out your excellent ‘dosage candy spot’ balancing efficiency enhancement and wellness. As with any bodybuilding complement there are all the time unwanted effects so you will want to get your Trenavar from a reputable source and dose appropriately to get optimal results. It is recommended to have frequent medicals to observe any side effects which will happen. For folks which are chopping and dieting down, Trenavar is perfect because ordinarily when you’re losing fat, you additionally expertise a loss of energy too. What’s extra, even though it technically isn’t a steroid, a cycle will still must be, nicely, cycled every 4 weeks. It is very toxic for the liver and may trigger lots of injury when you aren’t cautious. We’ll speak about unwanted facet effects and PCT a little afterward on this article.
    This is as a end result of their bodies haven’t beforehand experienced such ranges of anabolism or protein synthesis. Consequently, a first cycle ends in swift and vital changes in physique composition. Nevertheless, the preliminary cycle may be the most deleterious due to customers not yet growing a tolerance to such poisonous compounds.
    Intermediate users could lengthen cycles to weeks for elevated positive aspects, whereas superior users might experiment with weeks, always monitoring well being indicators. The trenbolone expertise offers vital benefits for bodybuilders, but it’s essential to method its use with warning. Correct management of the trenbolone cycle, including monitoring potential antagonistic results, can lead to spectacular results in muscle development and total efficiency. A tren cycle for a veteran bodybuilder may differ from that of a newbie.
    Additionally, Trenbolone Acetate may be taken with or without food, as it isn’t affected by meals. Contemplate personal comfort and comfort when deciding whether to administer the compound with or without food. I am a muscular man with much attention and recognition for my physique. I began with very little and all the time put 110% into the health club to get to the place I am now. From anabolic steroids to SARMs to peptides and ancillary medication, I’ve accomplished it in some unspecified time in the future in my life, and I can relate.
    As Tren acetate leaves the body quickly, more frequent injections are required. As with a Trenbolone bulking cycle, making use of different compounds like Dianabol or testosterone helps hold some side effects in check. Trenbolone promotes the production of pink blood cells and Insulin-Like Progress Factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 has a robust anabolic effect on skeletal muscle and is important for producing extra protein. Elevated red blood cells carry extra oxygen and nutrients to the muscular tissues. In sensible terms, you will notice larger muscular endurance and enhancements in recovery. When Trenbolone is used in mixture with different compounds, such as testosterone or Winstrol, it could enhance the consequences of those compounds and produce even greater features in muscle mass and energy.
    These are necessary to take care of a secure amount of substances within the blood. If you decide to take less frequent injections, you must keep in mind the possibility of temper swings and a strongly lowered libido. Even compared to high doses of testosterone, the sexual drive increases 2-3 instances. Unfortunately, in contrast to e.g. testosterone, which will increase “aggression” during workouts, trenbolone typically will increase it also exterior the gym. Obviously, I don’t mean getting furious for any reason, however, whem using tren, I’m undoubtedly rather more often irritated by things I wouldn’t usually take notice of.
    What I mean is – there are a few (very few) safer and more healthy methods of attaining the identical aim. You don’t should danger your health and well-being when there are different methods that can allow you to obtain the same positive aspects, safely. Generally customers might be having an underlying well being condition which may worsen with using Sustanon. It is all the time necessary to get a check-up earlier than you start using any steroid, just to make sure. By utilizing a good PCT (post cycle therapy) complement, you’ll find a way to assist to scale back the danger of many of these unwanted side effects. Whereas this can be beneficial for some, it could also result in unwanted facet effects such as gynecomastia (breast enlargement), water retention, pimples, and more. Cycling Equipoise and Sustanon 250 is an efficient way to achieve steady positive aspects while preserving your body wholesome.
    However, such substantial will increase must be approached with a deep understanding of potential dangers and side effects. Means stronger than testosterone and intensely helpful for bulking and chopping, Trenbolone boosts the powerful anabolic hormone IGF-1, which increases lean body mass. Trenbolone additionally boosts metabolism and comes with the benefit of not causing water retention. With Out water retention issues, Tren retains you dry and lean and is an ultimate slicing and conditioning steroid. Trenbolone is versatile and can play a potent function in chopping and bulking cycles. Although Tren isn’t the fastest mass gainer out there, the mass you achieve will be freed from water retention, and this alone makes Tren Ace top-of-the-line lean muscle gainer steroids. However that’s removed from the only cause we use it; you will find multiple advantages of a Trenbolone cycle.
    Collagen additionally acts as an antioxidant and helps the skin and connective tissues. In different words, enhanced collagen synthesis has wide-ranging health advantages. Winstrol Depot prices can vary more broadly, significantly when comparing totally different UGLs that promote water- and oil-based injections. If the description does not specify an oil-based Winstrol Depot, you need to assume the product is a regular water-based injection.
