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."
Computer Metal goes from hardcore to progressive metal, thrash metal, melodic metal, death metal, symphonic classical metal, industrial metal and so on. Each song is the expression of one of the different styles of metal that influenced MBR music. "The title says it loud," D'Amore says. "This is the definition of the genre I have been building since day one."
