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.

Winstrol is much harsher on the liver compared to Anavar, despite
the very fact that they’re both oral steroids.
This side impact alone shall be sufficient for lots of girls to
steer the selection to Anavar over Winstrol.
So although Winstrol is superb for fats loss, muscle retention, and improving definition, its threat of unwanted side effects is much greater than Anavar, making it a
a lot much less perfect option for females.
Though Anavar isn’t the most potent anabolic steroid, it nonetheless has a notable effect on lean muscle
mass. In medical settings, even sedentary males have skilled positive modifications.
It can even lead to a decrease in libido and testosterone levels, which might contribute to erectile dysfunction.
It’s important to note that Anavar can also have other effects on women’s health.
Anavar can cause liver toxicity and illness, ldl cholesterol problems, and different health issues.
Earlier Than utilizing Anavar, it’s necessary to speak
to your physician concerning the potential risks and benefits.
You must also have common check-ups to observe your well being while using
the steroid. In men, it could trigger a decrease in testosterone
levels, which may lead to a decrease in intercourse drive. In women, it might possibly cause changes in menstrual cycles and a
decrease in estrogen ranges, which may also have
an effect on libido.
Only tablets can be found for purchase, and they must be swallowed whole.
We’ve compiled the information and experience of ourentire group to create
these three Free E-books that can helpyou lose fats and re-build your physique
from the bottom up. One Other issue to concentrate to that appears to be common with Anavar tablets is nausea, vomiting, and stomach
cramps, based on the MedlinePlus [11]. These can even prolong to flu-like symptoms and appear to be correlated with taking larger doses.
Anavar will predominantly influence the expansion of human tissue like
muscle tissue and bones, according to the MedlinePlus
[4]. One Other cause this has been such a profitable drug is that it has been proven to be much less toxic for the liver [3].
However, most research have checked out short-term use, and people have assumed that less poisonous implies that it won’t
result in liver failure at all.
It’s troublesome to pinpoint the exact results that one will obtain through
using oxandrolone, especially regarding lean muscle gains.
Typically males won’t expertise large muscle gains, but most of what
they do earn stays after a cycle as a end result of there is no water retention concerned.
Ladies, then again, could gain a significant quantity of mass
following an Anavar cycle.
It is advisable to separate up the every day dosage into two
servings to keep up optimum concentration within the physique,
due to its relatively quick half-life of round 10 hours. In the second paragraph, let’s
make clear the off-cycle period, critical for restoring natural hormones and body capabilities again to
their initial state. Post-cycle therapy (PCT) employs totally different medication to speed up hormonal balance, important for sustaining attained outcomes and heading off potential withdrawal signs.
As with many different compounds, it is unknown for its extreme unwanted effects.
But abuse Anavar past the really helpful utilization patterns, and also you
do set your self up for an unsafe steroid experience that can and can damage your well being.
Exceptional fat loss shall be seen on this stack, and it’ll come on shortly.
Count On an increase in vitality and endurance, however the unwanted facet
effects of Clen can damage your train capacity (lowering the dose is ideal if
you’re delicate to stimulants). Anavar will provide
the capacity to build muscle and maintain strength whereas
weight-reduction plan. At its most elementary, Anavar is almost always stacked with Testosterone
for hormone replacement functions. This will be
at a low dose, the place the testosterone won’t contribute
much to your performance.
Nonetheless, if ladies are merely making
an attempt to enhance their physique composition, Winstrol could also be deemed unnecessary.
These various forms of testosterone possess distinct esters,
which determine their absorption rate and duration of presence in the body.
The normal types of testosterone are enanthate and cypionate, attributed to their affordability and ease of administration. Anavar is a controlled substance in lots of
countries, including the Usa. It is illegal to use with no prescription and
can result in authorized consequences. General,
we consider that Anvarol is a more wise choice for
most people than Anavar.
HGH is well-known for its capacity to promote lean muscle acquire
and fat burning, but utilizing real synthetic HGH puts your well being at vital threat if it’s not undertaken precisely and punctiliously.
HGH-X2 naturally stimulates the discharge of
HGH as an alternative of instantly injecting synthetic HGH into the physique.
Relying in your particular objectives, these will usually be the most popular steroids, like testosterone and Trenbolone for bulking cycles
and Anavar or Winstrol if you’re on a chopping cycle.
For probably the most hardcore fat loss, Clenbuterol (which isn’t a steroid) is usually stacked
with HGH. Deca Durabolin and Anadrol are different steroids that males will stack with HGH.
For ladies, Anavar is more potent because of women’s naturally decrease testosterone levels.
There are many different steroids in the marketplace, and each one has its own set of unwanted aspect effects.
If you experience any severe unwanted facet effects whereas taking Anavar, you want to
cease taking the medication and discuss to your healthcare provider right away.
It is essential for girls to use Anavar with warning as a outcome of potential for virilization, which
is the development of male-like characteristics.
If you are new to utilizing steroids, we advocate starting at the decrease
end of the dosage range.
Clenbuterol’s anabolic potential remains controversial, with our sufferers and tons of bodybuilders failing to expertise any notable will increase in muscle
hypertrophy throughout practical settings. If a user is stacking Anavar with harsh compounds, they might
incorporate the above protocol. Nonetheless, if a man utilizes an Anavar-only cycle,
taking certainly one of these PCT medicine alone is prone to be greater than enough in restoring endogenous testosterone manufacturing promptly.
When Anavar (oxandrolone) was first produced, it was authorized to buy for bodybuilding purposes.
Docs would prescribe it to individuals wanting bigger muscles, more strength, or to burn excess fat.
Anavar causes vital intracellular water retention, resulting in continually full and pumped muscle tissue
throughout the day.
