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.

    This correlates with our findings, as most users are heavier
    post-Anavar cycle, despite losing notable amounts of subcutaneous fat.
    Anavar binds to the Androgen Receptors (ARs) of
    the muscle cells and stimulates protein synthesis, which will increase muscle development,
    lean body mass, and bone mineral density. Anavar
    is often very costly to buy, because it’s one of the
    coveted AAS on the black market. The purpose it’s so popular is because it’s
    a very delicate steroid, meaning side effects are so much less in comparability
    with other steroids. For those who don’t know, the principle two attributes
    of anavar is to burn fats and enhance power.
    You can go onto Youtube and watch users discuss their first experience and listen to individuals debate about
    what they assume and the way a lot they’ve taken and for the way lengthy.
    There’s a bunch of stuff you could read about and see how others have responded to taking Anavar and what
    product they’ve used. Though there are barely varying opinions it seems that the recommend period of time to take Anavar for is around 2-4
    months (8-16 weeks). Anybody with a historical past of
    liver problems should avoid Anavar utterly.
    For those that do use Anavar it’s advised to take a liver support complement (9) like milk thistle.

    1) get stronger or 2) enhance cell swelling (also known as
    hypertrophy training i.e. pumping up the muscles).

    And a few of the unwanted effects have been appealing, particularly
    the potential of enhance in libido. The results on the
    mood described by different users was additionally appealing to me.
    The word many used was “varbot” – attractive, energetic, motivated and assertive,
    with reduced feelings relating to petty shit.
    A strengthening cycle capitalizes on the aptitude of Oxandrolone
    to augment strength with out precipitating extreme weight achieve.
    It is advantageous, particularly for athletes who need to adhere to weight courses.
    Strength enhancement may not align with substantial muscle size increment, further underlining its suitability for athletes somewhat
    than typical bodybuilders.
    Other reference factors are offered for athletes as a result of they’ve a excessive want for this connection. To avoid weight gain, you must actively take part in sports or go
    to the Anavar reception without training. Being used solo or in a stack,
    Anavar will certainly provide the desired results.
    All steroids include professionals and cons, however in relation to Anavar,
    you can simply say that there aren’t any cons. Anavar can cause increased irritability, aggression, and depression in some
    users. For this cause, you will want to concentrate on any psychological
    changes you may expertise when taking Anavar. Anavar has been proven to increase levels of dangerous ldl cholesterol (LDL) while reducing levels of good ldl cholesterol (HDL).

    Anavar will suppress your testosterone at just about any dosage, and the upper the dose, the more suppression you
    probably can anticipate. The Hypothalamic Pituitary Testicular Axis (HPTA) can probably turn out to be broken with extreme steroid use, presumably inflicting permanent harm to your testosterone manufacturing in excessive instances.
    While you’re utilizing the steroid, you won’t have symptoms
    of low testosterone.
    By adhering to the instructed dosage, commencing with modest quantities
    and progressively elevating them in sync along with your individual journey, the
    likelihood of encountering any antagonistic results diminishes.
    Embracing this methodical approach not solely ensures a smoother integration of Anavar into your routine but additionally lays
    the inspiration for a optimistic and transformative experience.

    Wanting via a collection of earlier than and after pictures from male users can be pretty
    revealing.
    The oral type of the drug makes a good choice for people
    who discover themselves cautious about injecting themselves.
    PCT is finished to reverse the suppression of testosterone that may occur during a steroid
    cycle. Even although women produce decrease amounts of testosterone than men, they will nonetheless see a natural production suppression as a outcome of Primobolan use.
    Women who’re already prone to hair loss ought to
    think twice earlier than taking this steroid.
    These include emasculating effects even though Primobolan is just mildly androgenic.

    For newbies, a basic cycle could be to take 400mg per week,
    for 10 weeks, stacked with 300 – 500mg of Testosterone per week.

    Roughly a decade after Anavar came in the marketplace, there was promise of it being a medicine to successfully treat high ldl cholesterol.
    This was due to medical doctors in the ’70s observing lowered complete levels of cholesterol in Anavar users (15).

    However, it’s not merely power and endurance athletes which will
    profit from Anavar, with some sprinters, swimmers, and boxers additionally utilizing Anavar to
    achieve a aggressive edge. Anavar is a by-product of
    dihydrotestosterone; thus, there is not any conversion to DHT through the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.
    Research reveals that 20 mg of oxandrolone causes 72%
    much less sulfobromophthalein, a marker of liver stress, compared to an equal dose of fluoxymesterone (10).
    Earlier Than taking Anavar do your research, look online, not just
    at articles but at printed on-line medical journals. Have a look on boards,
    see what individuals think, what outcomes did they achieve?

    This is because of the truth that the liver is a remarkably resilient organ, even when abused.
    After a cycle, the ALT and AST enzyme ranges of a person typically revert to normal within a
    short time frame. There continues to be a chance that your blood strain can increase considerably,
    however you could be certain that it will return to normal after the cycle is full.
    Therefore, users must be ready for some pressure on their
    cardiovascular system, which can moderately raise their risk of myocardial infarction.
    This quantity ensures sufficient time for the physique to
    recuperate between cycles, which helps strike a stability between optimizing outcomes and maintaining good
    health. A basic guideline usually adopted is to take an equal period of time
    off from the cycle as its duration. For instance, if the cycle lasted eight weeks, customers
    would take an eight-week break before starting their next one.

    In our modern, hectic lives, maintaining a healthy routine
    can be a challenge. With stress and emotional eating on the rise, it’s easy to lose track of our health goals.

    Yet, finding a solution that supports both physical well-being and mental clarity is essential
    for a long-term approach to health.

    Holistic solutions that target the root causes of these challenges can have a lasting impact
    on our overall wellness. For instance, ingredients like cinnamon bark and herbs like lemon balm
    work together to balance glucose levels and calm emotional eating.
    These natural elements don’t just mask symptoms, they support the body from the
    inside out, helping us feel lighter and more centered.

    function in harmony to empower us to manage cravings. With
    a few thoughtful changes, you can begin to notice a shift toward a
    more balanced lifestyle without the need for artificial ingredients or extreme measures.
    Whether you’re just starting on this journey or have tried other paths, finding a
    natural option that complements your lifestyle can lead to lasting success.
