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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

ALL anabolic steroids will shut down testosterone ranges to
totally different extents. How much you’ll be shut you down will differ, relying on which steroid you are taking.
For instance, in my very own expertise, anything under 80mg
will NOT result in vital fat loss or strength positive
aspects. In my opinion you need this dose or larger to save lots of losing your money.
So, if you’re a newbie and you take 50mg of anavar daily for 6
weeks, this can cost over $500. Nonetheless, opposite to
anavar, wild yam root HAS proven to increase HDL cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health.
Thus even when you took the entire bottle, you’re still
most unlikely to see any muscle growth from this. This is the protein naturally found in milk (alongside casein),
and the preferred protein powder amongst weight lifters. Thus even if soy protein was insanely effective for constructing muscle (which it isn’t), the dose is so tiny –
it will almost actually do nothing. There are some testimonials online of consumers experiencing spectacular transformations from utilizing
these legal steroids. Which in actual life phrases, means finding somebody who sells oxandrolone down your native gym.
Nonetheless, there are appearing some dangerous unwanted effects in type of losing hair, vomiting, nausea, adjustments in sexual curiosity,
appearing of pimples and oiled skin which belong to anabolic class of signs.
As you probably can see, there could be actually no have to be nervous about them as a result of they surely aren’t dangerous.
Stacking Anavar with other substances should be done cautiously and
under the steerage of a healthcare professional. Combining it with sure
drugs or supplements may increase the chance of side effects or interactions.
For those that don’t know, the primary two attributes of anavar
is to burn fats and improve strength.
Regardless of how highly effective the direct lipolysis
trait is or isn’t, the metabolic price will nonetheless be significantly enhanced.
Once lean, the individual will also discover he seems
harder and extra outlined. This is often accompanied by enhanced vascularity, and an general
tighter look. Nonetheless, regardless of the authorized restrictions, it
is nonetheless relatively simple to acquire steroids in Mexico.
Some pharmacies and even some gyms may sell steroids with no prescription, and there
are also underground markets where individuals should purchase steroids illegally.
Be careful where you buy anavar merchandise on-line (or in person),
as some corporations will scam buyers.
Therapy methods might embrace using medicine including aromatase inhibitors that block testosterone from changing to estrogen and SERMs, which help lower ranges
of estrogen. Steroid use can be essential to any steroid
methodology as it permits safer, more effective outcomes.
Some steroids should be administered orally only, but
a few of them may additionally be injected. The most serious problem with oral steroids is their hepatotoxicity because they have to be metabolized by the liver.
This can lead to heartburn, particularly in regular or ordinary use.
It is essential to watch out and familiar if you purchase steroids in bulk.
It is probably one of the best steroids for preserving lean tissue that may otherwise be misplaced
throughout a needed calorie deficit that’s in place to lose physique fats.
Once lean, the results of Oxandrolone will significantly promote a
tougher and more defined physique. With a focus on excessive requirements and pharmaceutical-grade products, ZPHC Anavar offers customers
an effective and dependable resolution for his or her bodybuilding or athletic needs.
The company is understood for its transparency in manufacturing, ensuring you
get exactly what you’re paying for. Anavar is often utilized by girls for its delicate
androgenic effects and low threat of virilization. However,
it is essential to seek the assistance of with a healthcare professional before taking Anavar to find out whether it is secure and appropriate
for you.
If you are wondering how some fitness models and celebrities keep their good physiques, Anavar would possibly just
be their secret. Crazybulk is a company that sells authorized steroids, and so they have a
good status. It is completely secure and legal to use,
and it doesn’t include any of the harmful unwanted facet
effects of Anavar. Permitted stores have been vetted
by the steroid’s producer and have been discovered
to promote genuine products. There are many unscrupulous dealers who promote fake
or counterfeit products.
It can be supplied by UGL’s in liquid type typically dissolved in some sort of high
alcohol based mostly suspension or solution. Lately, injectable Anavar has also been seen by some
UGL’s however this is listed as more expensive typically than oral codecs of Anavar.
That’s to not say its higher and simpler, its harder and most costly in most instances to producer injectables than it’s to make a pill or capsule containing
the same steroidal compound. Oxandrolone powder is dear compared
to Dianabol or Oxymetholone (Anadrol) so whether its offered in tablet, capsule, liquid or injectable format, its
never low cost. Due to these larger costs, UGL’s have also been known to mix one or more steroid hormones and
cross them off as legit Anavar, although they are not and include Dianabol and
small quantities of Winstrol, for instance.

retailers and customers devoted to a sustainable future. Collectively, we have
eliminated emissions for over fifty two million deliveries

at the negative tales too, and make a decision primarily based on what you’re
feeling comfy with. Figuring out why you need to take Anavar should be one of the first steps you take.

any need? If nonetheless you’ve lots of training experience, and
are competing for a show and seeking to acquire each benefit
you’ll be able to then for these sort of people it might be price

or not the unlawful variations or the Anavar alternate
options. It may be onerous to know who to belief and where to buy from as there are many
con artists, and placebo pills that don’t include what you think you’re paying for.
It’s essential to comply with the steering
of a qualified healthcare skilled or adhere to the product label for correct dosing instructions.
Anavar is typically very costly to buy, because it’s one of the
coveted AAS on the black market. The cause it’s so popular is because
it’s a very mild steroid, which means unwanted aspect effects are a lot less compared to other steroids.
