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.

    Though Anavar bodybuilding properties could also be spectacular, improper use can result in serious health risks.

    However, stacking Anavar with other oral steroids like Dianabol ought to be carried out cautiously because of increased liver toxicity.
    It doesn’t suppress testosterone production as severely
    as other steroids. This allows customers to maintain more of their natural testosterone of their system.
    However, bodybuilders should not be complacent about the potential unfavorable results of Anavar.

    It can also have antagonistic effects on your liver, so it
    is essential to take breaks between cycles and monitor your liver perform.
    Whereas Anavar is not as poisonous as other oral steroids, it can nonetheless have an impact on liver well being.
    It’s important to observe liver function whereas taking Anavar and to keep away from ingesting alcohol or taking other drugs
    that may influence liver operate. The size of your Anavar cycle will rely on your
    objectives, experience, and dosage. A typical cycle length for men is 6-8 weeks, whereas women typically
    cycle for 4-6 weeks. It is necessary to note that the longer your cycle,
    the larger the risk of side effects.
    Anavar is especially good at eliminating fats in more cussed areas, and for ladies, this is usually across
    the thighs and buttocks. Although total body weight may not drop or change much, this is as a outcome of of muscle acquire –
    fats continues to be being lost. On a proper diet, ladies can anticipate to lose 5-10lbs of fats on an Anavar cycle until they’re lean. Anavar can contribute considerably to some lean features, but for male users, it’s very unlikely to be a reason for utilizing this steroid.
    Instead, the anabolic properties of Anavar are most precious for men when it comes to
    MAINTAINING muscle when losing fat.
    It can be advantageous for customers who’re cutting and susceptible to dropping strength
    as a outcome of prolonged restriction of calories. This is a singular impact
    compared to different anabolic steroids, which usually
    lower subcutaneous fats whereas rising visceral fat (5).
    Anvarol, produced by CrazyBulk, is amongst the
    hottest legal alternatives to Anavar. It aims to imitate the benefits of Anavar, like
    enhancing energy and vitality, with out the negative unwanted effects
    or legal implications. Anvarol is taken into account secure
    and is available for purchase on-line with free USA delivery.
    It is unlawful to own, use, or distribute Anavar with no
    valid prescription. South Africa regulates anabolic steroids beneath the Medicines and
    Related Substances Control Act.
    When contemplating purchasing Anavar, it is important to
    remember of the authorized and well being dangers concerned.

    This in style steroid, identified for its capability to help individuals gain muscle mass and lose fat,
    is topic to particular rules as a result of potential
    for abuse and adverse side effects. Nevertheless, it could be very important observe that the use of Anavar and different anabolic steroids carries potential risks
    and unwanted effects. Accountable use, underneath the steerage of a medical professional, is essential for ensuring the user’s
    security and long-term well being. To sum up, Anavar is usually a
    viable choice for girls in search of lean muscle positive aspects and
    medical use for particular purposes. Nevertheless, it is essential to approach its
    usage with warning, persist with applicable dosages, and consider the potential side effects to
    ensure the benefits outweigh the risks. Another standout characteristic of Anavar
    is its impact on restoration and power levels.

    However, most women are likely to discover that Anavar is the one that gives them one of the best
    steadiness of minimal unwanted facet effects and distinctive results.
    If the steroid is stopped soon sufficient, these results ought to reverse and go away.
    However if Anavar continues to be used, it could be harder
    to reverse or deal with virilization effects the more they’re allowed to develop.
    This will give you a really helpful every day caloric consumption;
    when utilizing Anavar for slicing, cut back your
    consumption by about 500 energy beneath the recommended quantity.

    Maintain in mind that the Anavar unwanted side effects of woman use is one means or the other completely different from the side
    effects of male use. These unwanted side effects of Anavar in girls are
    more probably to be associated to the feminine hormone and reproductive system.
    Regardless Of the reality that ladies produce very little testosterone through their ovaries, testosterone is
    a vital hormone for hormone function and overall well-being.

    Getting familiarized with a single compound earlier than branching out into stacks
    is key. Starting with a lower dosage, usually from 20 to 30 milligrams per
    day, will give newbies an ample thought of how their bodies react to the steroid.
    Sticking to a typical cycle of six to eight weeks allows the body
    to adjust and let the compound work its magic with out overstaying its welcome.
    The shorter duration allows the individual to notice gains
    with out the risk of undue pressure on the body. Post-cycle therapy (PCT)
    is an indispensable part of an Anavar cycle, offering the physique time to normalize its hormonal stability following the artificial enhance in testosterone.

    This will ensure each a smoother transition out
    of the cycle and protect the gains achieved through the interval.

    Lastly, you should make certain that you are taking Anavar on the proper time of day.
    If you choose to inject Anavar, you should just be sure you
    are injecting it right into a muscle that has plenty of blood circulate.
    The finest muscular tissues to inject Anavar into are the glutes, quads, and delts.

    If any adverse reactions occur, users should instantly discontinue use and seek medical recommendation. If you
    experience any antagonistic reactions while taking Anavar, search
    medical advice immediately. You might have problems if you feel sick, throw up, have abdomen pain, or see darkish pee, yellow eyes,
    or yellow skin. To keep secure, discuss to a physician earlier than utilizing
    Anavar and don’t take an extreme quantity of.
    In this instance, users will also expertise water retention and bloating, which Anavar doesn’t trigger, plus
    heightened anabolic effects. We find that if junk meals are consumed throughout a cycle, sodium ranges will rise, causing
    water retention. This can inhibit Anavar’s diuretic results, inflicting the muscles to look increasingly easy and scale back muscle definition, striations, and
    vascularity. Nonetheless, if an individual predominantly desires to burn fats on Anavar, then a
    small calorie deficit can be carried out to speed up fat loss while aiding muscle retention. Cardiovascular train, or HIIT (high-intensity interval training), may also be utilized to speed up a user’s metabolism while
    providing cardiac benefits.
