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.

how safe are steroids
April 15, 2025 at 5:53 pm
This creates a big and tight look rather than an enormous, bloated mess look. A combination of proteins and Amino Acids along with PeakATP is bound to help you slightly within the muscle gaining endeavor. Since it can present an energy boost, it may intervene along with your capacity to fall asleep or disrupt your sleep quality. It is finest to take Anavar during the daytime or earlier than your exercises. Some people prefer taking Anavar roughly 30 to 60 minutes before their workout to capitalize on its performance-enhancing properties during training. Others might select to take it after the exercise to assist in restoration and muscle restore.
You must look no additional than Anvarol by CrazyBulk if you’re looking for a safer and healthier alternative to Anavar for girls. The majority of those results are caused whenever you abuse, take extra dosage or have an underlying/hidden medical situation. It’s all the time greatest to speak to your physician earlier than beginning any kind of complement regimen.
Anavar is a sort of oral steroids that I knew I’d be pretty snug taking back once I began all this. Figuring out why you need to take Anavar ought to be one of many first steps you are taking. If you’ve never lifted a weight in your life earlier than then is there any need? If nevertheless you might have lots of coaching experience, and are competing for a present and trying to gain every advantage you’ll find a way to then for these type of people it could be price considering. Thus even should you took the entire bottle, you’re still most unlikely to see any muscle progress from this.
Wait 14 days publish cycle to begin recovery and use 50mg/day Clomid for 20 days and 0.5mg/day Arimidex alongside it. Most male competitors will have between 3% and 5% physique fat during competitions. Remember that these are the most extreme users, and they’re probably to use other compounds alongside or instead of Anavar.
Total, Anavar can present quite a few benefits for men who want to improve their athletic efficiency, construct muscle, burn fat, and improve overall health and well-being. Nevertheless, it is essential to use Anavar responsibly and underneath the guidance of a healthcare skilled to attenuate the risk of unwanted effects. It may help to extend muscle mass, energy, and energy ranges while also serving to to burn fat and enhance overall well being. Different girls who’ve taken Anavar need to expertise further fat loss and muscle features, so they take compounds such as Winstrol. For most women this can be a big mistake, as Winstrol is very androgenic and thus may be very prone to trigger virilization. Also Winstrol is a extra powerful drug, so side effects are going to be much more harsh. Many anabolic steroids will cut back subcutaneous fats, however enhance visceral fat (3).
For instance, you may take Anavar for eight weeks after which take a break for four weeks. This will help to forestall your physique from becoming tolerant to the treatment. If you are going to stack Anavar, we recommend utilizing it with other cutting steroids like Winstrol, Clenbuterol, and Testosterone. If you’re slicing and you are consuming a calorie surplus food regimen – we advocate beginning with 50mg of Anavar per day.
A PCT just isn’t usually used to help restore testosterone levels from an anavar-only cycle, as most individuals tolerate the drug very nicely. One concern some athletes/bodybuilders can expertise when in a calorie deficit is muscle loss. A good instance of this is when you see men/women on stage who look actually lean and shredded but have misplaced plenty of muscle measurement within the build as much as the present. The reason why anavar is so efficient at rising power is due to its impact on testosterone ranges, in particular DHT, essentially the most highly effective androgen in your physique. It’s in style amongst bodybuilders as a result of anavar’s thought-about a gentle compound. Although there are a number of unwanted side effects, as a result of it’s not overly powerful or toxic, most of those side effects can often be averted. Users typically report a drop in stamina and muscle strength on this period.
This is taken into account to be a really excessive dose for females, and it’s most probably to lead to virilization symptoms. 20mg daily is considered to be the maximum that women ought to take, but even this could be a high dose. This will offer you a beneficial every day caloric intake; when utilizing Anavar for slicing, scale back your consumption by about 500 energy underneath the really helpful quantity. This should include high-quality protein and carbs (not refined or white carbohydrates).
In conclusion, Anavar can be a valuable tool for athletes, powerlifters, and endurance athletes seeking to enhance their performance. By following the beneficial dosages, monitoring your progress, and taking security precautions, you can experience the benefits of Anavar while minimizing the dangers. Before starting an Anavar cycle, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage and to watch your progress all through the cycle. This will help ensure that you’re utilizing the steroid safely and effectively. When it involves utilizing Anavar, men should approach the drug with caution as a result of its potential unwanted effects.
Roughly a decade after Anavar got here on the market, there was promise of it being a medication to successfully deal with excessive ldl cholesterol. This was because of medical doctors within the ’70s observing reduced whole cholesterol levels in Anavar users (15). Our experience and clinical research indicate that elevated liver enzymes generally return to regular following cycle cessation (11). Anavar is a C17-alpha-alkylated oral steroid, which means the compound will be fully active after bypassing the liver. Nevertheless, not like different oral steroids, Anavar just isn’t considerably hepatotoxic. This is as a outcome of the kidneys, and never the liver, are primarily responsible for metabolizing Anavar. Nevertheless, we find this to be a smaller proportion in comparability with other C17-aa steroids.
That Is why bodybuilders are inspired to get a blood test accomplished earlier than, during and after an Anavar cycle. One very engaging quality of Anavar for males is that it doesn’t have as harsh of unwanted facet effects as other oral steroids. Oxandrin additionally increases purple blood cell counts, main some endurance athletes to experiment with this drug to boost their efficiency. There are many positive outcomes that might be attained by way of an Anavar cycle, ranging from the muscle-building benefits that we’ve already discussed to healing wounds. So oxandrolone really has quite a lot of advantages for both bodybuilders and medical sufferers.
