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 little-known benefit of Anavar is that it has the flexibility to
    help cuts and wounds heal faster. In 2000, researchers administered the drug to rats with wounds on their backs and found that oxandrolone enhanced wound healing
    (5). Anavar might cause cardiovascular disease and increase the
    chance of a coronary heart attack. Anvarol stimulates the synthesis of phosphocreatine in your muscle tissue,
    rising your strength and vitality.
    Anavar will assist maintain your performance and energy
    capability even on probably the most limited
    of calorie-deficit diets. Critically, your results are going to incorporate the preservation of your existing lean muscle.
    Anavar helps prevent you from changing into catabolic – the place lean muscle is lost as energy.

    20-30mg is a secure starting point for first-time Anavar customers who’re nervous about unwanted facet effects.

    Whereas this is a good dosage vary if it’s your first time using Anavar, some guys won’t see a lot of response at this degree.

    Side effects are certainly attainable, however for
    the healthy adult they are often minimized. In truth,
    with responsible use, many will find they experience no negative effects in any respect.

    In order to know the unwanted effects of Anavar, we have broken them
    down into their separate classes with all of the related data you’ll need.

    As a treatment for anemia, Anavar has a really helpful effect on purple blood cell count21,
    bringing about heightened endurance by transporting extra oxygen and vitamins to the
    muscular tissues during train. This has a performance-enhancing and bodily interesting impact, with more oxygen and blood
    being carried via the veins, resulting in enhanced vascularity.
    So, while these are two critical advantages of
    Anavar, they aren’t the only ones. Even if chopping is your number one
    cause for utilizing Anavar, you’ll get many other constructive
    results that may solely add to your gains and total
    results. Strength, endurance, stamina, and restoration are all enhanced with Anavar.
    Anavar is probably considered one of the few compounds I can confidently say is suitable for novices, intermediate, and advanced customers.

    This may be within the type of oily pores and skin, pimples,
    hair loss, or issue urinating. We have discovered testosterone to be certainly one of, if not the most effective, AAS for the center, with solely
    gentle unfavorable results on LDL and HDL levels of cholesterol.
    Trenbolone was never intended for humans; it was used in veterinary drugs
    to bulk up cattle (2) before going to slaughter. Nonetheless, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than bodybuilders observed the anabolic results in animals
    and commenced experimenting on themselves.
    Such tests had been an enormous success, though their gains got here
    at a cost (experiencing harsh facet effects).

    Furthermore, the price of Anavar could be very high, leading to fraudulent sellers lowering the quantity of
    oxandrolone or eradicating it entirely in trade for a
    less expensive substance. Pharmaceutical-grade Anavar was synthesized by scientists in a licensed laboratory when it was authorized for medical
    reasons. This was prescribed to patients suffering from cachexia, where muscle loss was
    occurring at an alarming fee, rising the danger of mortality.
    Over half a century later, numerous women have used Anavar anecdotally and in research.
    Now it’s widely thought-about that doses in the range of 5–10 mg produce noticeable results
    whereas inhibiting virilization. With Anavar’s brief
    half-life of 9.4–10.four hours, we discover it increasingly efficient to split up doses throughout the day,
    maintaining excessive concentrations of oxandrolone within the physique.
    Nonetheless, due to the Anabolic Steroids Management Act of 1990, Anavar grew
    to become unlawful to purchase with no medical reason.
    Nevertheless, keep in mind any black market buy of Oxandrolone is illegal within the
    United States. You must acquire a prescription in order to legally purchase Anavar and the purchase should be made
    from the pharmacy. Many international locations around the world
    carry comparable laws, at the similar time many are way more lenient;
    understand the legislation because it pertains to where you reside before
    a buy order is made.
    Energy Enhancement and Efficiency BoostThe utilization of Oxandrolone during a cycle can considerably enhance power levels.
    As the drug promotes anabolic activity, it aids in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary vitality supply
    for muscular contractions. This leads to elevated power output, allowing
    individuals to raise heavier weights, perform extra repetitions,
    and push via intense training periods. In our expertise,
    Primobolan (methenolone) is likely certainly one of the
    finest steroid cycles for females as a outcome of its delicate
    nature.
    In this text, we’ll delve into the scientific features and make
    clear its mode of action. Anavar belongs to the class of anabolic steroids,
    specifically synthetic derivatives of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
    Its molecular structure has been altered to reinforce its anabolic properties while
    lowering its androgenic effects. As a end result, Oxandrolone displays a lower potential for androgenic unwanted effects in comparability with different steroids.
    Once Anavar is ingested, it enters the bloodstream and binds
    to androgen receptors discovered within muscle cells.

    This interplay stimulates protein synthesis, a process liable for constructing new proteins within the muscle tissue.

    This not only allows you to know what is going
    with reference to your health but additionally make any necessary changes before beginning.
    Menstrual irregularities or points, facial hair progress, deepening
    of the voice and enlargement of the clitoris are all possible side effects of var.
    If you undergo from male sample baldness it is attainable Anavar will
    increase the speed at which you’re shedding hair. Many countries prohibit
    the utilization of trenbolone, leading to authorized implications for
    people who possess, buy, or promote this steroid. Some of these trenbolone cycles
    are extremely harsh, and we now have found them to be very damaging to the physique (at least
    within the short term). Sadly, with the addition of trenbolone,
    all safety is compromised. Winstrol should only be taken for eight weeks (maximum) as a end result
    of its poisonous effects on the liver.
