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.

    бесплатные модифицированные игры
    это замечательный способ получить новые возможности.
    Особенно если вы играете на Android, модификации открывают перед вами огромный выбор.
    Я нравится использовать модифицированные версии игр, чтобы получать неограниченные ресурсы.

    Моды для игр дают невероятную возможность настроить игру, что делает процесс гораздо красочнее.

    Играя с твиками, я могу добавить дополнительные функции, что добавляет приключенческий процесс и делает
    игру более эксклюзивной.

    Это действительно невероятно, как
    такие моды могут улучшить взаимодействие с игрой, а при
    этом не нарушая использовать такие взломанные версии можно без особых рисков, если быть внимательным
    и следить за обновлениями. Это
    делает каждый игровой процесс уникальным, а возможности практически неограниченные.

    Советую попробовать такие модифицированные версии для Android — это может придаст новый смысл

    Smh, basic science and math bro.Why not make it easy for model new guys?
    PCT after 7 days- Clomid/Nolvadex + HCG 250iu twice weekly
    so you stay fertile. If you actually need to build as much
    as 50mg, you must begin really with 10mg for say days, then go to 25mg for two weeks,
    then onto 50mg for 2 weeks after which again down again.
    Most bodybuilders go for an Anavar-only cycle in order to
    burn fat, enhance lean muscle mass and improve their energy levels.
    Such a cycle is extra well-liked among beginners or first-timers who don’t have prior experience of
    using steroids. This leads to the event of lean muscle mass and elevated energy.

    In addition, Anadrol additionally inhibits glucocorticoid hormones, that are
    answerable for muscle breakdown. This makes Anadrol an efficient steroid for both
    bulking and cutting cycles. Anavar cycles for ladies ought to ideally last 4-5 weeks to reduce the chance of unwanted aspect effects.
    Prolonged cycles or higher dosages can increase the chance of experiencing opposed results.

    I preach a extra gradual and affected person methodology; and considered one of more self evaluation. But ya, in case you are
    in search of probably the most positive aspects
    possible for the bottom value, then obviously var isn’t the best selection. The above dosages are tailor-made for beginners who
    haven’t used Anavar earlier than.
    Of course, taking a c17 alpha alkylated tablet does have its downsides.

    Facet effects can be extra widespread and customary when taken without precaution or run for longer and high dose cycles.
    Whereas the possibilities of unwanted effects are low, they aren’t eliminated.
    Things like baldness and oily pores and skin will harm your self-confidence.
    Plus, the probabilities of a legal conviction or getting banned from
    bodybuilding competitions.
    Natural TUDCA current within the liver exists only in small quantities,
    hence the need for extra supplementation. We have found
    TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) to be an efficient liver help complement
    to reduce hepatotoxicity from Dianabol. Due to Dianabol being
    a C-17 alpha-alkylated steroid and thus metabolized by the liver, it
    causes vital hepatic pressure. It is best to stack Anadrol with
    its bulking companions Dianabol or Deca Durabolin.
    Thus, controlling estrogen ranges is necessary for delicate users to prevent the buildup of
    female breast tissue. Decrease doses of Anavar are utilized by females compared to men to reduce
    the risk of virilization. For extra skilled women, Anavar cycles may begin at 10 mg/day
    and prolong to 6 weeks. Proviron, as a outcome of it being an oral steroid and failing to convert into estrogen, ends in significant will increase
    in complete cholesterol (with HDL levels lowering and LDL
    ranges spiking). Thus, we see Proviron inflicting notable
    will increase in blood stress (6). Consequently,
    stacking it with oral steroids can pose cardiac issues.

    As a outcome, testosterone has minimal hepatotoxic effects, evidenced by our liver operate tests (1).
    We commonly observe cautiously dosed testosterone cycles adding 20 kilos of lean mass to newcomers.
    The androgenic essence of testosterone may also end in adipose tissue
    loss.
    It has long been the oral of selection for pre-competition bodybuilders and
    in newer years is a favourite summer drug for regular gym-goers.
    If you’re looking for a protected and effective
    approach to get the same results as Anavar, without
    placing your health at risk, I would think about the above
    supplements. Clenbutrol is one other pure different to Anavar that is made by CrazyBulk.
    Clenbutrol is similar to Anvarol in terms of its fat-burning and muscle-preserving effects.

    It is alsoknown for its ability to advertise fat loss by rising metabolism andpreserving lean muscle mass
    during slicing phases. However, it’s essential tonote that like other anabolic steroids, Anavar is a
    controlled substance andits non-medical use is illegal in many nations.
    It ought to solely be used underthe supervision of a qualified healthcare skilled to attenuate the dangers ofpotential unwanted effects.
    Anavar, scientifically often identified as Oxandrolone, operates inside the body
    via a quantity of mechanisms to provide its desired effects.
    Understanding the science behind this steroid is vital
    to comprehending the way it works and its influence on the physique.
    In this text, we’ll delve into the scientific elements and make clear its mode of action. Anavar belongs to the class of anabolic steroids, specifically artificial derivatives of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

    As one of the few anabolic steroids that is equally efficient for both
    men and women, it presents a comparatively light approach to obtain muscle hardness and vascularity
    without excessive bulk. It’s identified for its minimal impact on liver health
    and low risk of estrogen-related side effects, making
    it a staple in chopping cycles. Bodybuilders often leverage this stack to attain strength and muscle
    definition while aiming to restrict water retention and fats acquire.
    In addition to the reduction in body fat, the preservation of lean muscle is another
    outcome of utilizing Anavar, typically mistaken for lack of weight reduction. You see,
    since Anavar supports the maintenance of muscle mass whereas selling fats loss, its results on the scale may not be outstanding.
    But, don’t be deceived by the dial on the scale;
    the transformation is more muscle and less fat, leading to a leaner,
    healthier body composition.
    Testosterone is a vital hormone for muscle synthesis,
    and when its levels are elevated through external supplementation, customers sometimes see a major uptick in muscle mass.
    The gains from a Test cycle are sometimes described as substantial, supplied that the consumer adheres to a rigorous training routine and consumes a
    protein-rich food plan. For women utilizing Anavar, implementing a correct post-cycle therapy (PCT) is essential to
    restore pure hormone production and decrease potential unwanted effects.
    PCT sometimes includes the usage of a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) like
    tamoxifen or clomiphene to kickstart the body’s pure testosterone manufacturing.
