Master Boot Record – Computer Metal [CD]

Computer Metal, the intense, singular new album from Master Boot Record, makes a bold statement across its 10 songs, kicking off with the first single, DOT MATRIX and wrapping up with CTRL+ALT+DEL. The follow-up to 2024s Hardwarez, Computer Metal was written via MIDI in Cubase, with the computer as the main instrument. Computer Metal refines a hybrid of real guitar layered with synths and pushes the production to higher levels.

Multi-instrumentalist mastermind Vittorio D’Amore explains the thrust of his latest opus: Hardwarez was about the hardware, Computer Metal is more connected to what computers represented in our lives and the memory we have of them. This album is a sort of codex of the genre, he says, since each song expresses a different style of metal, while still being done with the computer.
