Nicolas Exposito later joined as the second guitarist and the band changed its name to 'Landmarks,' which evolved into 'Landmvrks'.

Story of LANDMVRKS

Hailing from Marseille, France, LANDMVRKS (pronounced "Landmarks") is a metalcore powerhouse formed in 2014. Initially known as Coldsight, the band`s evolution began with Florent Salfati and Nicolas Soriano. Salfati, originally intended as guitarist, unexpectedly became the vocalist after a fruitless search for a lead singer. He was concurrently the vocalist for Hate in Front. The lineup solidified with the addition of bassist Rudy Purkart and guitarist Thomas Lebreton. Nicolas Exposito joined as second guitarist, and the band rebranded as Landmarks, later stylized as LANDMVRKS.

Their rise was rapid. A 2015 appearance at Manchester`s Deadbolt Festival showcased their burgeoning talent. Following the release of several early singles, their self-produced debut album, Hollow, dropped on May 10, 2016, marking a significant milestone. That same year, they made their Hellfest debut, solidifying their position in the European metalcore scene. Now signed to Arising Empire, LANDMVRKS have gone on to release four studio albums, cementing their status as a leading force in the genre.
