ABOUT "MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPE" :
The new album is a power act of abrasive post-metalcore, some kind of math structures and crushing wave of metallic heaviness. From this album born a new era in the history of the band both visually and sonically.
It is tortured, dense, powerful, released without concessions, maybe even more coherent, offered with an honesty which is doubtless...a constant, malignant and striking album. 8,5/10-NOISE MAGAZINE (FRANCE)-
A perfect balance between unchained violence and atmospheric serenity...an influence on the slightest small detail. The group stands out as one of the leader of the genre in France, and so manages a personal landscape in a register which sees itself more and more plagiarized. 9/10-METAL OBS MAGAZINE (FRANCE)-
I think that this band got an enormous potential with a very good and very defined sound. Something struck me as with the big bands like Cult of Luna, Knut or Envy. Listen to this album. If you are fans of this kind of genre, I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed. 9/10-THE EXECUTIONER (SPAIN)-
The fire power of Asidefromaday, with this "Manufactured Landscape", was never so big. Less direct, more deceitful in a sense, this album is of a redoubtable efficiency. 9/10-LA HORDE NOIRE (FRANCE)
Aside From A Day knows how to play with the intensities and, henceforth, they have nothing to envy to the leaders of this kind of music.
In the end, we can applaud this beautiful work which will entertain the fans of the genre.
–TRANSIT MAGAZINE (SWITZERLAND)-
"Manufactured Landscape" is going to be your new reason for living. The second album is more than convincing, the influences and the inspirations are diversified and the writing improved to offer us a work of extraordinary flawless, more personal and accomplished than ever. A Masterful Monolith !-NAWAK POSSE (FRANCE)-
So rich, intense and atmospheric. A very beautiful album. 8/10-ALLSCHOOLS (GERMANY)-
A sound density rarely equalled on this side of the Atlantic Ocean...the music of Asidefromaday does not limit itself to such or such genre, the band prefers to exceed it, to merge into it, to push away their borders and deliver a lightning sound distillate and highly addictive... nine chapters of the same musical collection, violent, powerful and emotionally tortured. Impressive !

BIOGRAPHY :
ASIDEFROMADAY was formed back in 2000. When practice started to pay off, the band recorded two tracks for a compilation in 2001. After this first studio effort as a new experience, the band decided to record their first release " Maieutics" in 2002. It consists in 7 songs of loud and harsh Hardcore with metal sound. AFAD started to do some shows in the east of France. After releasing "Maieutics", Charles (guitar) decided to leave the band for personal reasons. 2002 was perhaps the most important year in the history of the band, as AFAD is now a quatuor, the band decided to bring their sound to a new direction. In 2004, 4-tracks EP "Setting in motion" is recorded and discerning audience instantly appreciated the band's new approach. The band received good reviews and played more shows in France.
"Draft" for one of the biggest Festival (Printemps de Bourges ) in France as one of the most "extreme" promising band, AFAD continues to impress by their feelings and sincerity. At this point touring became a lot more frequent. It's now time for the band to record their first full-length, in 2005 born "Divine Proportion" (9 songs of modern Hardcore with a hint of sludge and stoner metal) the long awaited album received rare reviews by mainstream and specialized press. Supported by some amazing band such as Gojira, AFAD hit the road in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and made a two-weeks French tour with their new labels support Exutoire Records and Impure Muzik Records and label mates Cortez. In 2007, the band stopped to do some shows in order to compose their new album "Manufactured Landscape". AFAD also worked at the same time on their new Live DVD "Videography". It's released in Switzerland by a new video label Dali Recordings, it contains some full set plus several long extracts of various festivals and more...
2009 is the year of the awaited come back of the band with "Manufacture Landscape", AFAD proved that they're now ready to bring their sound-landscapes to a much wider audience. Contacted by a Swiss label, "Manufactured Landscape" was released September 22th 2008 on Division Records (Unfold, Kehlvin, Impure Whilelmina, Vancouver, Zatokrev, Unsane...) and will be followed by a European tour in May 2009.
