Master Boot Record

Hardwarez, är det tredje albumet från Master Boot Record. Den multi-instrumentalistiska hjärnan Vittorio D'Amore (alias Victor Love) utforskar dualiteten av teknik och mänsklighet i 9 intensiva och glödande spår.

There are few truly unique musical artists, but the music made by MBR arguably exists in a category of its own.<br/>"The main elements include chiptune, demoscene & video game music, thrash/death metal and some black metal as well as classical and symphonic patterns and progressive structures," explains sole progenitor and mastermind MBR. "But everything is programmed and done with synthesizers." The result, influenced as much by classical baroque music, bay area thrash metal, and Commodore 64 games, is a frenzied mashup of what logic suggests should be disparate sounds, but in the hands of MBR make sense, taking the listener in unexpected and always thrilling directions, smashing through genre walls.<br/>FLOPPY DISK OVERDRIVE sees MBR sound evolve again, embracing all of the elements fans have come to expect from the project, but taking a step forward. MBR comments: "This album has got some new Elements such as the synthesized clean guitars sounds which adds that early thrash metal feel - as well as some baroque atmosphere - but the album still features my trademark sound mixing chiptune, classical and metal music." Remaining prolific - and 100% synthetic.

Enbart styrt av teknologen/låtskrivaren Victor Love, är Master Boot Record, om något, kreativt produktivt värre. Uppföljaren till "Floppy Disk Overdrive" (2020), "Personal Computer" är Love's senaste giv sedan hans dagar som ett 8-bitars spöke från BulletinBoardSystem-scenen (BBS) 2016. Nu har han återvänt med ännu ett påskägg och symbolisk bridgeblandning av intensivt utsmyckade men ändå drivande digitala orkestrationer. För att uttrycka det enkelt: Detta är Metal gjort med en synth.
