My thoughts
Enjoying the end is A fantastic debut album from Joshua and David, as I was listening to this album I often found myself trying to pinpoint where does the album fit into scene, because honestly it has so many different directions everything form The sounds and styles of Linkin park, to Twenty one Pilots all the way through to Motley crue to electronic wizardry and influence of the Pet shop boys , there is literally something on this album for anyone, the production is crisp and clean and this album switches effortlessly between different sounds from different genres, go and check this out
For fans of Twenty One Pilots, Blink 182, 30 seconds to mars

My thoughts
So this In Joy Blue 3rd single and their first with a video, , Sunflower is packed with a melodic tones and a lovely hooks, it has a really nice feel tom the track and is well produced for a large part of this track it does not changed course now this not a bad thing and out of now its kicks into life I kind of would have liked a bit more of this intensity as for most of the track it did not feel like it was going anywhere, but this would be my only criticism , its clear that this is a band that are starting their journey and that’s fine, its will be interested to see how they grow and their material develops over time., for fans of

LANDMVRKS are back with a vengeance. After successfully building their reputation through asserting their own style on 2018 masterpiece Fantasy, the band returned last month both fresher and heavier before with their new single 'Rainfall'. Their upcoming third album, Lost In The Waves, is their heaviest and most organic album to date with an uncompromising, distinctive style. This is LANDMVRKS in their purest form.
Lost In The Waves will be available as CD, limited vinyl in two different colour variants and a limited special fan box. Pre-order here: https://Landmvrks.lnk.to/lostinthewaves
LANDMVRKS formed in 2014 in Marseille, France, and are now comprised of Florent Salfati on vocals, Rudy Purkart on bass guitar, Nicolas Exposito and Paul C. Wilson on guitars, with Kévin D’Agostino on drums.
The band spent two years writing and recording material and playing local shows, building their reputation within the French metalcore scene with a series of singles. In May 2016, LANDMVRKS self-released their debut album Hollow, which was produced entirely by Salfati and Exposito. Following the release of Hollow the band ventured on tours throughout Europe, enticing new fans with their modern metalcore style, peppered with hardcore riffs and catchy choruses. The record also landed them slots on big festivals, strengthening their reputation even further.
In 2018 LANDMVRKS signed a record deal with Arising Empire, releasing their second studio album Fantasy. Continuing to build their name with their own fresh take on metalcore, LANDMVRKS went on to travel the world, playing in Japan, embarking on several headline tours and supporting While She Sleeps and Stray From The Path on a UK/European tour.
While they were out on the road LANDMVRKS focused on writing brand new material, including latest single 'Rainfall' which showcases a powerful new direction from the French band, one that is more mature, melodic, and deeper than before.

My thoughts with an opening Riff I would expect to hear on a Deftones track and ten quickly into guitar tones I would expect to hear from Machine Head, okay so I’m not expecting none of this but I like and boarding the train, I really love the production and energy on this track, it feels like it is packed with so many different influences ranging form Machine head, Defrtones, and Linkin Park, Fever 333.I really enjoyed Lost in a wave its heavier in your face and has so much energy awesome.
