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.

    Anavar or Oxandrolone doesn’t aromatize and convert into estrogen in distinction to Test-E.
    It generally does not prohibit the pure manufacturing of testosterone, making it less suppressive and safer in general.

    Dr. Ziegler created Dianabol, a compound that’s extra
    anabolic than testosterone and fewer androgenic. Thus, prostate points had been much
    less of a priority, as were male sample baldness and zits vulgaris on Dianabol.

    Analysis reveals that three g of omega-3 fatty
    acids, taken every day for 8 weeks, can scale back blood stress (7), in comparison with a placebo
    group.
    Without optimal testosterone ranges, we can’t build muscle, shed fats, or keep healthy and
    normal functioning in every a part of life. High doses of Testosterone Cypionate will present you with impressive energy positive aspects that can become prominent after three or four weeks.
    While Testosterone Cypionate just isn’t going to be at the
    prime of the record of strength-gaining steroids, all customers will notice a substantial strength boost compared to natural
    testosterone levels. You can build significantly more muscle than your natural testosterone ranges
    with extra circulating testosterone. Even a relatively low dose will
    promote increased muscle positive aspects, with blast doses that can have your T ranges at four instances their typical, allowing exceptional gains.
    New Testosterone Cypionate customers will be very conscious of even reasonable doses and will find the muscle features come
    on huge and quick in the first cycle or two. The primary use for Anavar is chopping, meaning bodybuilders use var to assist them shed pounds quicker while also maintaining lean muscle mass.

    Including a testosterone base to a cycle with Anavar helps maintain hormonal steadiness and reduce potential side effects.
    It is often began at a decrease dosage and progressively elevated over time while carefully monitoring symptoms and testosterone levels.

    This permits for individualized remedy and minimizes the chance of unwanted effects.
    Regular follow-up appointments and blood exams are important to make certain that the dosage is suitable and to make
    any essential changes. One potential risk of taking testosterone with
    Anavar is the elevated risk of cardiovascular issues.

    But Masteron is the better all-around cutting steroid and the one
    you should use if you wish to run a longer minimize.
    Winstrol is among a number of respected and extensively used, primarily cutting or contesting prep
    steroids. All one of the best slicing PEDs have their pros and cons, and each
    will give you a novel end result. So it’s well value evaluating Winstrol to 2 of the best chopping steroids, DHT derivatives – Anavar
    and Masteron. Though Anadrol causes fluid retention, this stack is superb as
    a pre-competition combination because results will be full, dry, and ripped with mass added.
    The key to lowering Anadrol’s fluid retention so you probably can nonetheless achieve a
    dry look on this stack is to maintain your sodium consumption very low through the cycle.

    Dianabol proved more potent for constructing muscle as a end result of its larger anabolic ranking.
    Nonetheless, testosterone remains a comparable muscle builder, adding
    nearly equal quantities of lean muscle and energy as Dianabol.
    Thus, when these two steroids are stacked together, customers can expect to build substantial
    amounts of size. This cycle is certainly one of the most helpful we have seen for hair follicle retention, with
    Dianabol and Deca Durabolin producing fewer androgenic
    results (thus DHT levels is not going to rise excessively).
    An aromatase inhibitor works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, thus decreasing estrogenic unwanted
    effects.
    By implementing testosterone (or “test”) into the Primo cycle, individuals can augment
    the growth effects of the latter whereas sustaining adequate hormonal ranges of
    their bodies. It’s throughout these off-cycle
    periods that user’s our bodies recharge, returning hormone levels to their regular state.

    These breaks from Primobolan can even improve
    the effectiveness of the next cycles. It ought to be clear that biking steroids, whereas helpful for
    optimized bodybuilding, warrants attentive administration and considerable data.

    Nonetheless, using anabolic steroids like Test and Tren just isn’t without dangers.
    Here, we’ll clarify what a cycle is, how lengthy it typically
    lasts, what “stacking” means, and why folks select to make
    use of these two steroids together. A Check and Tren cycle combines each
    steroids to maximize muscle progress, power, and
    recovery. Testosterone is often used as a base in lots of
    steroid cycles as a result of it helps maintain stable hormone levels and reduces some side effects.
    When mixed with Trenbolone, users believe they
    can gain more muscle mass and obtain a leaner physique than using either steroid alone.

    Utilizing steroids similar to Oxandrolone requires adherence to
    a strategic timeline known as a cycle. A crucial consideration revolves round maintaining a stability
    between length and dosage. Extended cycles and higher doses both pose an increased danger of negative results,
    emphasizing the significance of finding an acceptable equilibrium.
    It’s advisable to start out on the decrease end of the dose vary, especially for first-time users,
    and gradually increase if wanted based on effects and tolerance ranges.
    Exceeding beneficial doses substantially will increase the risk of unfavorable unwanted side
    effects.
    Larger purple blood cell ranges enhance oxygen supply to muscle tissue, which might
    result in enhanced endurance and sooner recovery occasions.
    However, this can additionally place pressure on the cardiovascular system, which
    is why Trenbolone use requires warning and medical supervision. To get better results from
    utilizing Anavar, you must also take different compounds and observe a food plan and train plan. This helps bring back pure hormone manufacturing and lowers the chance of hormone imbalances.
    Using Anavar for max gains requires correct dosages, cycles, and
    precautions. To get one of the best outcomes and cut back
    side effects, it’s important to know about Anavar advantages and dosage.

    Still, it’s additionally one of many most secure AAS to make use of, and even when used as
    the only real hardening agent, it can lead to a superb aesthetic look and might
    do so in a brief time. Yes, the potent libido boost
    can also be tremendous, and Proviron is a superb “happy steroid” that you’ll really feel good on. Proviron is a potent
    androgen on paper, yet most women can use it
    with minimal unwanted facet effects at low to reasonable doses.
    Proviron causes some users joint discomfort due to
    lowered estrogen ranges. But another reason estradiol ought to be monitored and balanced while you use Proviron. A simple and
    basic cycle, however one you can’t go incorrect with,
    is adding Proviron to a regular testosterone cycle.
    Proviron will boost the libido, improve temper, and assist dry you out and harden your muscle tissue.

    want and they want to put her on even more meds. Future
