Fortunately, when the clean elements of their songs come in they don’t have a cheesy or forced quality, which should perk up the ears of any 2brutal4u naysayers. What LANDMVRKS use to incredible effect is the ability to switch between the heavier side of their music, to the more melodic without so much as a blink of the eye. After a slow intro build the track comes in at a hundred miles an hour, with vocalist Florent Salfati practically starting the record by saying “We’re here, now fucking pay attention”. Opening with title track ‘Lost In A Wave’, LANDMVRKS put their best foot forward right from the off. But that doesn’t take away from how well constructed this record is musically, and how much fun it is from top to bottom. The record is not reinventing the wheel here there are clear nods to bands like The Ghost Inside, Stray From The Path and Hundredth.

See the Waves site for details.The band’s new record Lost In The Waves is rammed full of hooky choruses, put to the backdrop of shredding guitars and absolutely mindblowing drumming.
