Artist History Manifold Object greets from Finland with atmospheric and progressive metal. The history of Manifold Object goes back to the beginning of 2001 when a band called Painting the Moon was formed and it existed for three months since. The style of music was totally different to what it is nowadays, because back then it was somekind of dark metal. However, after three months our drummer M.Syvänen decided to leave the band leaving us without a drummer, luckily not for long... Because as we found M.Pajakkala to the battery and new material was composed, we noticed that the style of music started to move strongly towards a more original direction. Some other line-up changes were also made as J.Suvanto transferred himself to the bass and V.Kojo was taken on a try-out to the vacancy of rhytm guitar, but soon he was kicked out. In summer 2001 the band was named Manifold Object. After a half-year of composing, arranging and rehearsing the music with this line-up we were satisfied with it and the studio was booked for the beginning of October and in the end of November 2001 the promo was released to the unexpecting crowd. The first promo entitled "Postnatal Transparence" received very positive feedback from the prog/metal audience around the world, for example 8/10 in Terrorizer magazine and so on. After a while, as plenty of new material had already been composed and rehearsed during spring 2002, we invaded the notorious Kuolio studios in August to record our new promo-cd entitled "Mirrorlike". The release was scheduled for early December and now we're waiting for feedback, after sending dozens of promo-copies all over the world...
