Master Boot Record
- GENRE: industrial
- COUNTRY: Italy
Metal made by computers? Yes, that’s exactly the point in the case of Master Boot Record. This computer is operated by the Italian magician, Victor Love, but there’s no human touch to it. There’s only the machine. At Mystic Festival, in the human incarnation with the full live band, this machine will feast on each and every one of you.
History:
Master Boot Record originated in sunny Italy in 2016. Victor Love, who was playing in a couple of bands at the time, came up with the idea of making entirely computer-generated music. As he himself put it, everything was to be completely synthetic and non-human. Since 2020, the artist has released at least one record a year, and this computer mix of old-school metal, synthwave and electronic, with a dash of classical music, has moved people world over. In 2019, Master Boot Record – as a proper trio – began touring, and strangely enough, this inhuman energy carries over well to the very human environment of a concert. The project’s latest record is Hardwarez.
