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.

    A protected and orally ingestible compound for females, it’s used in doses of round
    10-20mg every single day. Oxandrolone is a man-made steroid that’s similar to
    testosterone, which happens naturally in the body.
    This is an anabolic steroid that can promote the expansion of muscle tissue
    within the physique and assist you to acquire the weight you have to be as wholesome
    as attainable. Oxandrolone is banned by every major
    sports organization because of its exceptional performance-enhancing talents.
    Competitive benefits stemming from Anavar embrace elevated energy, lean muscle
    gains, enhanced fats reduction and extra stamina. However regardless of these benefits, Anavar is not one of the more-common performance-enhancing medication that athletes check constructive for.

    This copyrighted material has been downloaded from a licensed knowledge provider and isn’t for
    distribution, except as may be approved by the applicable terms
    of use. Discuss the usage of reliable types of contraception (such
    as condoms, birth control pills) with your doctor.
    If you become pregnant or assume you may be pregnant, inform
    your physician instantly. Earlier Than using oxandrolone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you’re allergic to it; or when you have some other allergies.
    This product might include inactive components, which may trigger allergic reactions or different issues.

    If you discover different effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

    In addition, Anavar helps to extend protein synthesis, which is
    the method that helps muscular tissues to develop bigger and stronger.
    As a end result, Anavar may be an efficient device for constructing muscle mass.
    Anavar works by growing the production of proteins in the physique, which ends up in elevated muscle mass.
    (4) Magnolini, R., Falcato, L., Cremonesi, A.,
    Schori, D., & Bruggmann, P. (2022, July 17). Faux anabolic androgenic steroids on the black market
    – a scientific evaluate and meta-analysis on qualitative and quantitative analytical outcomes
    discovered throughout the literature. Some bodybuilders opt for authorized Anavar options, such as Anvarol, which mimics Anavar’s fat-burning and anabolic effects.
    We haven’t noticed Anvarol causing any side effects, although it is possible for individuals
    to experience minor reactions.
    To stop virilization, a starting Anavar cycle for girls starts with just
    5-10mg and will increase from there. Anavar, or
    oxandrolone, is likely certainly one of the mostly used anabolic
    steroids, with both women and men cycling it. Some bodybuilders make the most of Anavar all yr round, similar to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
    Nonetheless, this isn’t recommended due to
    excessive hepatic and renal toxicity. Although Anavar has gained popularity as being a ‘cutting agent’ or ‘cutting steroid’ throughout the previous, its capabilities
    aren’t restricted strictly to this. Although it can perform and assist quite well in the area of reaching fat loss and physique definition, it is an excellent compound
    for mass gaining, strength, and bulking.
    This is a pleasant contest prep stack fitted to hardcore customers
    and competitors. The basic rule when planning a cycle is that the upper the
    Anavar dose is, the shorter the cycle you must be doing.
    Some prefer to reside on the edge, whereas there are these of us who want to stability the advantages
    and risks. I suppose I’ll go to eight weeks on Anavar
    if I’m taking no extra than 50mg. I wouldn’t need to go beyond six weeks if any more than 50mg
    is being taken (rarely). This does mean you’re
    using Anavar primarily as a pre-workout steroid.
    In my expertise, that is the greatest way to make use of Anavar because we don’t want (or even want) to take care of consistent levels of this
    liver-toxic steroid (no matter how mild) 24 hours a day.

    Anavar is the safest anabolic steroid so that it won’t trigger any severe unwanted effects.
    Still, when customers eat Anavar’s excessive dose and use it for the
    lengthy run, it might trigger varied adverse unwanted side effects that affect the user’s health.

    When it involves Anavar dosage for athletes, you will need to contemplate the particular sport and the athlete’s targets.

    For ladies, it’s a totally totally different animal; it’s perfect as a end result of its low anabolic and androgenic nature; it’s gentle, not poisonous,
    and doesn’t cause a lot virilization. Doses are
    10-20mg every single day, but more will cause a rise in muscle progress, but also unwanted aspect effects.
    By stimulating the synthesis of phosphocreatine inside your muscle tissue, Anvarol works just like the
    anabolic steroid Anavar to extend energy and power.
    During cutting cycles, you’ll shred fats while retaining lean muscle, making you look lean and reduce.
    One of probably the most concerning side effects for women is virilization, the place they start to develop male traits as
    a outcome of elevated testosterone ranges.
    Virilization can embody a range of symptoms, similar to a deeper voice, elevated body and facial hair, and
    adjustments in menstrual cycles. These changes could be distressing, and in some circumstances, they might be irreversible even after stopping Anavar.

    We have had elite powerlifters reveal that they also cycle
    Anavar earlier than competitions as a outcome of its strength-enhancing
    properties.
    Naturally, your diet ought to support fat loss,
    which is in a position to all the time be the
    case on a chopping cycle. Do not improve your dose or use this drug more
    usually or for longer than prescribed. When an anabolic
    steroid is misused or abused, you might have withdrawal symptoms (such as despair, irritability, tiredness) whenever you abruptly cease using the
    drug. The draw back to utilizing Anavar constantly is that we see testosterone suppression exacerbate
    and LDL cholesterol levels remain elevated for a sustained time period.
    Consequently, a person’s natural testosterone manufacturing will take longer to recover when finally coming off Anavar.
    A few of our patients have skilled insomnia or difficulty
    sleeping on anabolic steroids, including Anavar.

    Many sufferers don’t understand the toxicity of prolonged alcohol abuse and the way it impacts the physique.
    Alcohol detox on the luxurious rehab addiction centers at Gratitude Lodge
    leeches your body of these toxins in preparation for profitable treatment for medication and
    alcohol abuse. Alcohol detox may not take as long or produce extreme withdrawal symptoms, however it’s nonetheless an essential beginning
    to your restoration.
    One of the much less spoken-about benefits of Anavar is
    a potential enhance to your general mood.
    The identical can’t be said for a lot of different steroids, which might doubtlessly trigger anxiousness and elevated anger as an alternative.
    Anavar will increase your endurance to an extent, with a noticeable
    capability to work out for longer and at a higher intensity22.

    Caring for your hair goes far beyond looks.
    Over the years, many people start observing signs of weakening hair strands or receding hairlines.
    These shifts may stem from everyday stressors, aging, or lack of proper scalp care.

    The good news is, holistic approaches now consider scalp nourishment and
    overall wellness. Ensuring the scalp gets essential vitamins and minerals can revitalize
    hair health over time.

    Ultimately, healthy strands begin with healthy choices.
