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.

    Oxandrolone is not going to enhance athletic efficiency and shouldn’t be used for that purpose.

    Marinol is a man-made form of cannabis used to treat
    loss of appetite in individuals with AIDS. Selected from
    data included with permission and copyrighted by First Databank, Inc.

    We also see trenbolone acetate clear out
    of the physique quicker than enanthate because of its shorter half-life.
    Although they’re essentially the identical compound, they’ve completely different esters.
    Trenbolone acetate is made up of brief esters and
    enanthate, longer ones.
    The really helpful Anavar dosage for ladies is normally between 5-20mg per day.
    Nonetheless, beginners should begin with a lower dose and steadily increase it as their body turns into extra accustomed
    to the drug. Anavar has a comparatively long half-life of round
    9 hours, which means that it solely needs to be taken once a day.
    Anavar can even trigger cardiovascular side effects similar to hypertension, cholesterol imbalances,
    and an elevated danger of coronary heart illness.

    If you’re uncertain which possibility to choose, it’s at
    all times finest to seek the advice of with a healthcare skilled or experienced trainer.
    They can help you weigh the pros and cons of every and decide which
    possibility is greatest suited to your wants. It is essential to notice
    that the side effects of peptides can differ depending on the particular kind of peptide getting used.

    Steroids, although not thought of narcotics, are still categorized as managed drugs due
    to their potential to be abused and lead to dependence.
    The same may be mentioned with Anavar or another efficiency enhancing drug,
    there are benefits however as we’ve discussed there are risks too.
    Nevertheless, folks in these countries have to be careful to not abuse this steroid, as like with any
    drug – should you abuse it, you’re in hassle. Research have proven that taking 5.6g of
    BCAAs post-workout can stimulate protein synthesis by 22% (3).

    However, anvarol incorporates a fraction of this, with
    a baby dose of 75mg per tablet. Even should you took the whole bottle of anvarol you’d simply get enough to stimulate this very modest
    improve in protein synthesis. Nevertheless, this is identical
    story as soy protein, as the quantity of whey in anvarol is
    tiny (0.45 grams per day).
    This is also what we see anecdotally, and thus we warn our
    readers from utilizing such a stack. We find that blood pressure will spike to
    high levels on trenbolone alone; nevertheless, with the inclusion of Anadrol, it’ll
    go to a complete new stage. In the first two weeks of the above cycle,
    we halved the Anadrol dose to supply somewhat further
    protection for the liver (as it is a lengthy cycle).
    Whenever operating Anadrol cycles, it’s important to keep the duration as short as possible.
    In the above cycle (which is a very heavy one),
    Anadrol is taken for eight weeks. Thus, the outlined
    PCT should be implemented to kick-start endogenous testosterone again to regular levels once more.
    The Anavar on the market we recommend is a pre-blended set of components meant to mimic the effects of
    real anavar, while still being legal to buy and use.

    Now, don’t mind the joke, the post just isn’t meant to warn you
    about steroids. Nonetheless, remember that ladies can react much more sensitive to hormones than men are likely
    to do, and subsequently should take the Anavar in much smaller quantities.

    Yes, it is attainable to take Anavar (Oxandrolone) alongside Testosterone Substitute Therapy (TRT).

    This dosage can improve stamina and endurance without considerably impacting weight or inflicting undesirable unwanted effects.
    In conclusion, discovering authorized Oxandrolone alternatives
    on-line is about careful research, assessing a web-based store’s popularity, transparency,
    customer support, and safe fee choices. With this
    approach, you’re more likely to find a dependable provider that values your
    health journey and respects your well being and safety.
    Crazybulk is a reputable company that sells legal steroids which
    would possibly be secure and efficient. CrazyBulk – An all-natural
    supplement company that gives a variety of steroids and bodybuilding supplements.

    Oral trenbolone is probably essentially the most harmful anabolic steroid we now have come throughout, with the risks being very
    high for most users (psychologically and physiologically).
    Many people who lift weights wish to build muscle and burn fat at the similar time,
    but they typically hear that it’s inconceivable. Such myths become a
    reality with a trenbolone/Winstrol cycle, the place a user’s waist size decreases and muscle measurement will increase concurrently.

    Trenbolone is amongst the most potent anabolic steroids, both by means
    of results and unwanted side effects. They will lengthen to the muscle space, volume, and, more importantly, strength.
    Both testosterone and Anavar can help to increase muscle mass and strength, however they work in different
    ways.
    Deca is used to deal with anemia secondary to continual kidney disease,
    osteoporosis after menopause, and in breast most cancers. It binds to androgen receptors and
    stimulates protein synthesis, rising muscle mass and bone mineral density.
    Multiple research have examined how Anavar affects athletes’ and
    bodybuilders’ cardiovascular methods. Anabolic steroids have been noticed to have an result on thyroid perform negatively.
    A thyroid hormone imbalance may find yourself
    in varied health issues, such as water retention. Yes,
    both Anavar and EPI might require post-cycle therapy to assist
    restore hormone balance and mitigate any potential suppression. The size and depth of PCT will depend on varied factors, including the
    duration and dosage of the compounds used.
    It’s essential to strategy the usage of these steroids along with warning and to fastidiously consider the benefits
    and risks before continuing. Many international locations prohibit using
    trenbolone, resulting in authorized implications for these who possess, buy, or promote this steroid.
    This is often within the type of a prison sentence and/or
    hefty fines. Some of those trenbolone cycles are extraordinarily harsh, and we have found them to be very damaging to the physique (at
    least within the brief term). We discover Anavar-only cycles to be benign when taken in sensible dosages.
    Sadly, with the addition of trenbolone, all safety is compromised.

    This considerably reduces the risk of gynecomastia without
    considerably decreasing total estrogen levels (thus preserving
    HDL ldl cholesterol and serotonin ranges optimal).
    Thus, customers have to pay 2.5 instances this price to run a normal testosterone cycle.
    Anavar also can trigger extra severe side effects, such
    as liver damage, heart issues, and masculine options in girls.
    If you’re involved about gyno, it’s essential to know which steroids have the potential to cause
    it. Aromatization is the method by which testosterone or different androgenic hormones are transformed into estrogen.
    Since Anavar doesn’t undergo aromatization, it can’t trigger gynecomastia
    directly.
