LANDMVRKS

Formed in Marseille in 2014, LANDMVRKS has emerged as a leading force in the European metalcore scene. Originally starting under the name Coldsight, the band's identity solidified when guitarist Florent Salfati stepped into the frontman role, bringing a unique vocal range that spans hardcore, nu-metal, and melodic rock.

Their early work, particularly the debut 'Hollow', established a foundation of Architects-influenced technicality, but they quickly evolved to incorporate a broader palette of sounds. By the release of 'Fantasy' and 'Lost in the Waves', the band had successfully integrated elements of hip-hop, pop-punk, and deathcore, a move that mirrored the genre-blurring trends of the 2020s while maintaining a distinctively French hardcore grit. Signed to Arising Empire, they have become festival staples, known for high-energy live performances that translate their studio precision into raw, physical energy. Critical consensus highlights their ability to innovate within a crowded genre by utilizing unexpected rhythmic shifts and vocal textures that challenge the standard metalcore template.
