We have been following Landmvrks closely for a year and a half now. Headlining their Creature tour in May 2024, opening for Beartooth at Ally Pally in October 2024, dropping The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been on April 25, 2025, and returning to Slam Dunk in May 2025. Now they are back at the Roundhouse, but this time owning the stage as headliners of their UK/European tour, in their only UK show.
Landmvrks
Roundhouse, Camden – 7 December 2025

Everyone was hyped for their return to London. Landmvrks open their set with something different, an absolute banger. Flo is the centre of the stage, behind a white curtain, as the first notes of The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been hit.
Lit by a white backlight, we only see a black silhouette, waiting for the drop. Then the curtain falls, and the band hits the stage, ready to take over the Roundhouse.
Flo, full of energy and grit, makes it clear that the new songs added to the setlist are fire. The stage, with all its pyro, makes it feel intense from the first second.
Once again, we get killer performances of Creature, Death and Blistering, with fire and moth-shaped confetti raining down.
Then, just like at Slam Dunk, Matt Welsh from While She Sleeps jumps on stage. Roundhouse explodes as he screams and sings A Line In The Dust with Flo. Their voices together live? Ten times better than in the studio, pure goosebumps.
Landmvrks are not there to waste time. After blasting Visage, Sulfur and Sombre 16 ( a song where Flo raps just in French), he gives us one of the classic live moments fans love.
In the Sombre 16 music video, Flo sprays a big “V” on a brick wall. Live, he grabs a spray can and recreates it on stage, while the track plays behind him. One of those moments you cannot wait to see live.
The setlist still throws in Say No Word, Scars and Suffocate, the first part acoustic, but my absolute favourite from their last record? They play it just after, and for someone who does not check setlists before shows to save surprises, that was pure magic. Out of all the new tracks they could have added, I never expected a live La Valse Du Temps. This song is so underrated, but live? Pure poetry.
Flo’s clean vocals and screams mix with slow, deep melodies, while fans, packed together, sing every word in unison. A magical moment, a rush of emotions. If this is what it feels like to hear your favourite song live for the first time, unexpectedly, it is incredible.
After that slow but soul-shaking moment, the pit reopens with Lost In A Wave and Rainfall, hitting harder than ever, shaking the floor as fans go wild in the mosh pits.
After the chaos as Rainfall ends, the guitars and bass cut, the lights dim, and all eyes are on Kevin, the drummer, for a killer drum solo. Fast sections, syncopated beats, some DJ-inspired rhythms, even bits with Chester Bennington’s voice. Epic and hype-building, getting everyone ready for the final rush.
We hit the encore. After Blood Red, with the music video projected behind the stage, it is finally here, the song everyone begged for. Requiem turns the stage into an emotional battlefield, full of anger, pain and release.
Flo’s voice is raw and precise, and when he screams “Requiem, set me free”, pure chills.
A perfect finale, but they stick around for Self-Made Black Hole, giving one last moment of glory and chaos in the pit before goodnight.
I will never get tired of Landmvrks live. You never get bored. They hit you with energy in every song, lull you with soft melodies, then slam you so hard you lose balance. Even though the setlist barely changed after The Darkest Place I’ve Ever Been, it was flawless, absolutely the right way to close the year.
Landmvrks are heading back to the UK for Download 2026, and who knows, maybe we will be part of their musical journey again.
Split Chain
If you step on the Roundhouse stage, you have to own it. Kick it around. Split Chain did exactly that from second one. Coming straight from Bristol, they open the UK/Europe tour of Landmvrks with Fade. A sharp wall of distortion that cuts through the air makes it clear the set will be total control from start to finish.
bored.tired.torn. and Chalk make the crowd lose it, while Grey In The Blue sparks a mosh pit that does not stop. Split Chain’s power comes from how tight they are. Packed, insane stage presence, two guitars that never step on each other but push each other forward and a heavy bass that fills every space.
The vocalist, Bert, switches from deep growls to tense melodic lines, like every song cracks open a different kind of emotion. With tracks like Extract, Future, and Who Am I?, Split Chain leave the stage fast with I’m Not Dying To Be Here. A short set, but hits like a punch straight to the gut.
Pain Of Truth
Pain Of Truth was an insane discovery. Their stage presence hit hard. With Lifeless On The Ground, they open the pit, the first riff hits, and the whole room changes instantly.
Michael, the singer, owns the stage, moving back and forth, screaming every word like it’s the last. Their interaction with the crowd is next level.
Songs like Shattered Past and This Falls On You push fans to jump in, respond, and get lost in total chaos with shoves and crowd surfing. Heavy guitars and pounding drums crank the tension, especially in the breakdowns, making it feel like the Roundhouse could blow up from the crowd’s insane, violent reactions, but all in the safest way possible.
The set is raw, real, Hardcore at its purest with movement, sweat and energy flying nonstop between band and crowd. This is a band that hits hard, no filters, just loud music that cuts through your body and shakes you violently. Pain Of Truth are worth every second.
Underoath
The last opener was Underoath, kicking off with Loss and hitting hard from the first note. Spencer, the vocalist, storms to the centre of the stage like a force of nature, voice and body always moving, reigniting the energy in the Roundhouse.
The band does not miss a beat, rolling through tracks that are the backbone of their sound. In Regards To Myself sparks the first serious movement under the stage, while Breathing In A New Melody hits with that perfect mix of tension and melody.
Underoath delivered a show that constantly swings between intensity and atmosphere. They balance chaos and participation, rage and community.
All The Love Is Gone and Hallelujah show the band’s emotional side, with Spencer switching from brutal screams to tense melodic lines. The rest of the band are just insane, riff-heavy guitars, pounding drums and synths adding depth. A wall of sound that surrounds you completely.
Live, Underoath were an emotional storm, closing their set with Writing On The Walls.
