Product Details

Vittorio D'Amore has spent years building one of underground metal's most genuinely strange catalogs, fusing the aesthetic language of vintage computing, chiptune, and classical composition with extreme metal under the Master Boot Record name. Where most instrumental metal projects chase atmosphere, his work is almost architectural, each release structured like a system running its own internal logic.

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 2024’s 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.”
