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.

    Limiting the cycle length can be a near necessity for many users simply because the unwanted facet effects will usually become extra pronounced
    and tough to manage the longer you utilize this steroid.

    Trenbolone Acetate (or Tren Ace) is Trenbolone’s
    best-known and most generally used ester and the fastest-acting form.
    It is considered superior to the original nandrolone compound on its own. Tren’s
    major benefits are its slower metabolism, better attachment to the androgen receptor, and higher prevention of fragrant compounds from
    forming.
    This leads to a complementary pairing, as users are basically stacking one other form of exogenous
    testosterone with out additional liver toxicity.
    Dianabol, or methandrostenolone, is the leading oral anabolic steroid available.
    We have noticed novices expertise weight increases
    of as much as 30 pounds from a Dianabol-only cycle. Testosterone has robust androgenic exercise, and which means Test Enanthate can come with androgenic side effects, a type of
    being hair loss or male pattern baldness. If you have
    hair loss in the household, this steroid can velocity up the
    onset of male sample baldness.
    However when you’re already in shape, eating clean and training onerous, then you
    can expect some pretty impressive fat loss. A 2004 study revealed this drug can reduce complete
    body fat even without train (1). However,
    do not expect var to have quite the fat-burning qualities of clenbuterol or ephedrine.
    Examples of slicing cycles with Anavar embrace an Anavar Solely Cycle,
    sometimes dosed at 30-50mg every day for men and 10-15mg per day
    for girls, lasting 6-8 weeks. Intermediate bodybuilders
    often have a better understanding of how their physique responds to
    totally different cycles and dosages.
    Fat loss remains to be prone to happen for women (unless your food plan is very calorie-heavy).
    The fats loss mixed with lean gains may end up in an total achieve in body weight, however importantly, it
    shouldn’t be water weight, and the positive aspects ought to
    be all muscle. Enhanced muscular definition is possible after a single
    Anavar cycle for women, even at decrease doses of 10mg.
    On the downside, Tren can negatively impact your cardio performance
    and hamper your fat loss efforts. This stack will take dryness and muscle hardness to a new degree in comparison with Anavar
    alone.
    The kidneys may also be taking a big hit when using both of
    those compounds. In Distinction To the liver, these two can’t get well
    once they’re broken, so you must use something to protect them.

    The differences between the two are the reality that Winstrol is
    going to lower Progesterone, and Anavar goes to be digested mostly by
    the kidneys rather than the kidneys. Winstrol can also be identified to be slightly worse concerning unwanted side effects, and likewise significantly
    worse for Cholesterol levels.
    This is a standard follow-up cycle to the primary Anavar and testosterone cycle listed.
    Based Mostly on our observations, women usually engage in Anavar-only cycles, whereas males with prior steroid use are more inclined to combine Anavar with different substances.
    There are some studies to point out that Anavar will
    convey a couple of reducing of whole Ldl Cholesterol levels, nevertheless together with Testosterone,
    blood lipids will nonetheless be out of vary.

    One Other option, for skilled bodybuilders only (!), is
    to add clen to this cycle, leading to an Anavar Winstrol Clenbuterol cycle.
    Even for knowledgeable customers we discuss with our article on tips on how to determine the best
    Anavar dosage. When used accurately, you can count on to see significant gains in each strength and dimension. When it comes to acquiring a large
    and ripped physique, the combination of Anavar and Testosterone supplies you with a robust combination of substances!
    We are a staff of health, health, and supplement
    consultants, and content creators. Over the past four years,
    we have spent over 123,000 hours researching meals supplements, meal shakes, weight loss, and healthy
    dwelling. Our purpose is to teach people about their results, benefits, and how to obtain a maximum wholesome life-style.

    This is due to its milder effects on hepatotoxicity, permitting Anavar to be
    run for eight – 10 weeks somewhat than the typical 4 – 6 week window with most different oral anabolic steroids.

    Testosterone within the type of an extended ester is used, due to the reality that long estered anabolic steroids
    are commonly used by novices for ease of dose administration and timing.
    Testosterone remains to be a major part of the cycle, run at a dose within the range of 300 – 500mg weekly,
    and serves as a main anabolic alongside Anavar. Regardless, this must be a cycle best suited
    for lean mass addition and/or bulking. When embarking on a Test Anavar cycle, it’s crucial to recognize that optimal
    positive aspects and outcomes are not solely depending on the utilization of steroids.

    A commonplace stack includes the use of a testosterone ester and Winstrol for the earlier few weeks of a cycle.
    As you can see, the outcomes of a Clen and Anavar cycle
    may be impressive when used accurately. Nonetheless, it’s essential to do not forget that these two steroids can have unwanted facet
    effects and should be used with caution. Make certain to observe the
    really helpful dosages and cycle lengths, and
    seek the assistance of with a healthcare skilled before beginning any steroid cycle.
    Earlier Than starting a Clenbuterol and Anavar cycle, it’s
    necessary to do your research and seek the guidance of with a healthcare professional.

    My goal was the identical, i.e., at least maintain current
    muscle mass/bit somewhat bit and lose body fat, each of which had been achieved efficiently on upkeep calories.
    However, given the fact that I was leaner to begin with,
    I appeared in incredible shape once I finished the
    eight weeks (at the same dosages talked about above).

    Means stronger than testosterone and extremely useful for bulking
    and slicing, Trenbolone boosts the powerful anabolic hormone IGF-1, which
    increases lean body mass. Trenbolone additionally boosts metabolism and comes with the profit
    of not inflicting water retention.
    So, like all types of Trenbolone, Parabolan is considered a steroid with versatile uses and one
    value taking a glance at, even when gaining big mass isn’t your major objective.
    This is a steroid with a quantity of benefits and a few disadvantages you’d be
    conversant in. Apart From this distinction within the attached ester, the
    steroid construction is precisely the same as that of both types of Trenbolone, resulting in them having the same effects on the body.
    Parabolan is a Nandrolone-based anabolic steroid,
    and it is rather just like the well-known steroid Trenbolone Acetate.
    It is similar steroid with a different ester
    connected, which gives it the chemical name of Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate or just Tren Hex.

    Hexabolan is one other model name for this steroid, but Parabolan is the most
    widely recognized and used name. Whatever you select to
    stack Trenbolone with, including Testosterone as a base, is mandatory
    to avoid complete sexual dysfunction.
    Ongoing testosterone cruising or TRT is strongly recommended to support testicular function from the long-lasting suppression caused by Trenbolone.
    On that observe, many guys find as quickly as the dose
    is decreased, these sides calm down – another timely reminder of why being versatile with your Trenbolone
    dose is essential. Nonetheless, as a end result of its
    unique and specialized use – as an implant injected into the ears
    of cattle – the primary veterinary grade Trenbolone Acetate product is produced as
    pellets implanted into the animal.
