Master Boot Record

Metal made by computers? Yes, thatโ€™s exactly the point in the case of Master Boot Record. This computer is operated by the Italian magician, Victor Love, but thereโ€™s no human touch to it. Thereโ€™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 โ€“ as a proper trio โ€“ began touring, and strangely enough, this inhuman energy carries over well to the very human environment of a concert. The projectโ€™s latest record is Hardwarez.ย
