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.

    In regard to which steroids to use, it’s going to depend on the person’s goals and budget. Blood strain can rise to very high levels on Anadrol, and thus the cardiovascular strain is deemed extreme for newbies. Dianabol isn’t as androgenic as testosterone; thus, oily skin and acne are much less likely, though potential. The greater the testosterone dose, the higher the chance of a person growing gynecomastia. We have had success with aromatase inhibitors (AIs), such as Arimidex, to significantly lower the chances of gynecomastia occurring. Nevertheless, a downside to taking AIs is that they can exacerbate hypertension.
    Anavar is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, notably CYP3A4, which may be inhibited or induced by different medicine. CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole or grapefruit juice might delay Anavar’s half-life, growing systemic exposure and toxicity risks. Conversely, inducers such as rifampin or St. John’s Wort can accelerate clearance, reducing effectiveness. There are a handful of quality manufacturers in the marketplace, but many are under-dosed or mislabeled. Some low grade manufactures will actually label the steroid Oxandrolone however they’ve really used cheaper Dianabol powder. The particular person nonetheless receives a robust anabolic effect, but the whole effect isn’t what he was after.
    Bodybuilding doses (such as the doses recommended previously for the use of Anavar) in fact show excessive amounts of endogenous pure Testosterone suppression. With such vital suppression after 5 days at only 15mg daily, one can only fathom the amount of suppression that results from the use of bodybuilding doses (30mg minimum or extra per day). This is highly indicative that Anavar is in fact a really suppressive compound on the HPTA, necessitating the use of Testosterone in any Var cycle. As one could possibly simply see, Anavar is sort of a versatile compound in terms of its makes use of. It is known that anabolic steroids show a really poor percentage of survivability through liver metabolism when ingested orally. This beginner Anavar cycle introduces Anavar at a beginner dose within the range of 30 – 40mg every day (for a total of 210 – 280mg weekly). Observe here that Anavar’s whole length of use is that of 8 weeks, which exceeds the typical run time of most different oral anabolic steroids.
    If you suffer from male sample baldness it is potential Anavar will improve the speed at which you’re shedding hair. As with anything to do with performance-enhancing medication, not every thing works for everyone. As talked about in the part about shopping for Anavar, this drug is unlawful without a prescription in most places. This contains the Usa, where oxandrolone is classified as a Schedule III drug as part of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This means that easy possession of Anavar pills may result in up to a $250,000 fantastic and three years in jail.
    This helps to prevent the negative unwanted effects that low testosterone production may cause. Moreover, people who discover themselves involved concerning the unfavorable results of steroid use are extra inclined to make the most of anavar because of the lowered dangers. Anavar causes reductions in HDL ldl cholesterol, probably causing hypertension (high blood pressure) and growing the danger of arteriosclerosis. However, in our lipid profile testing, Anavar only causes gentle cardiovascular pressure in comparison with different anabolic steroids.
    Basically, it has less of an impression on intercourse characteristics and extra on muscle tissue. Developed within the Sixties and FDA-approved, Anavar is an anabolic steroid used for selling muscle progress, bone growth, and weight gain. An Example of an Anavar or Oxandrolone only cycle could be 60-80mg daily for 5-6 weeks in males and 10-20mg daily for 4-5 weeks in females. A well-balanced diet can additionally be key, excessive in protein, regular cardio, blood checks, balanced training program, and intake of plenty of water to restrict organ stress. Anavar (Var, Var 15) was first developed in 1962 by pharmaceutical giants G.D. Searle & Co (Now Pfizer) and was bought in the Usa and the Netherlands beneath the Anavar trade name. It is an orally lively 17-alpha-alkylated compound, giving it the ability to survive the “first pass” of liver metabolism and permitting it to be ingested effectively.
    Anavar’s muscle gains shall be barely lower than Winstrol’s, with fats loss being roughly equal. Anavar is more generally utilized compared to Winstrol, which can be attributed to it being a less toxic compound and utilized by each sexes. Despite Anavar producing solely moderate increases in lean mass and acute weight achieve, it’s distinctive for enhancing muscular power. Consequently, powerlifters and fighters beneath our care have generally cycled Anavar, enabling them to turn out to be stronger without having to go up a weight class. In contrast, different anabolic steroids typically lower subcutaneous fats however improve visceral fats (VF), usually leading to a bloated look (despite being lean). Seasoned steroid users who take Superdol for the primary time are sometimes shocked by its ability to add lean muscle tissue and cause monstrous improvements in power.
    We discover that if junk meals are consumed during a cycle, sodium ranges will rise, inflicting water retention. This can inhibit Anavar’s diuretic effects, inflicting the muscle tissue to seem more and more easy and scale back muscle definition, striations, and vascularity. Our exams of patients utilizing trenbolone typically point out excessive elevations in blood pressure and significant testosterone suppression.
    Full dissociation of anabolic and androgenic effects has not been achieved. The long-lasting nature of injectable steroids can be realized from their ampoule and vial manifestations. Due to its lengthy half-live, extra of the elements can be launched into the bloodstream over time creating a gradual anabolic setting for use through the strength cycle. These steroids are usually the primary selection of those in search of assist and a controlled dose.
    To scale back the probabilities of gynecomastia occurring on testosterone, our sufferers regularly take a SERM such as Nolvadex. Testosterone doesn’t notably have an effect on the liver, with it being injected straight into the bloodstream. Anavar additionally has diuretic effects, removing extracellular fluid that obscures muscle definition.
    Oxandrolone was little question decided to be a mild anabolic steroid way back then, which made it possible to be tolerated by feminine and youngster patients10. The draw back to utilizing Anavar constantly is that we see testosterone suppression exacerbated and LDL cholesterol levels remain elevated for a sustained time period. Consequently, a person’s pure testosterone manufacturing will take longer to recover when lastly coming off Anavar. Anavar and all anabolic steroids are basically types of exogenous testosterone; thus, Anavar will increase muscle mass. We haven’t skilled trenbolone causing weight achieve like Dianabol, because it does not improve water retention. These who aren’t experienced steroid customers may have outstanding positive aspects in regard to muscle mass. Whereas skilled steroid users might be much less delicate through years of cycles and will experience milder features.
    Anavar is a well-liked anabolic steroid utilized by each women and men for its gentle nature and effectiveness in building lean muscle mass and selling fat loss. The dosage of Anavar varies between women and men, in addition to between beginners and experienced bodybuilders. Oxandrolone can also be stacked with different anabolic steroids in synergy because they complement one another. Anavar, due to its wide variety of results, could be utilized to your goals whether or not you’re chopping, bulking, or you’re male or feminine. It’s one of many mildest compounds out there to the steroid user, and for that purpose, it can be used for a protracted interval if blood work is done and organs and blood pressure is checked frequently. It is not exceptional to run Anavar for ten or so weeks growing the dose over time to forestall the onset of a tolerance increase with a testosterone preparation, corresponding to Sustanon. Oxandrolone is a steroid in a place to protect muscle mass/tissue when calorie-restricted or dieting phases too.
