Italy-based computer Metal project Master Book Record (MBR) will return to US and Canadian shores this coming Spring for an extensive North American headlining tour. This follows the band’s European tour, and begins on April 24th, 2026, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, running through May 31st in Brooklyn, New York.
Master Boot Record “outputs”:
Computer Metal strikes back in North America with a full coast-to-coast tour.
We‘ll return to many of the cities we‘ve played before, while finally hitting several cities for the first time.The show will feature brand-new synced visuals and a full set, including Tenebre Rosso Sangue by Keygen Church, as already performed during our European tour supporting Igorrr.
We can‘t wait to see you all.
Master Boot Record will be touring in support of their Hardwarez album, released in 2024 via Metal Blade Records. It “explores the duality of technology.”
The LP, which follows 2022‘s Personal Computer and 2020‘s Floppy Disk Overdrive, comes from the mind of multi-instrumentalist and MBR mastermind Vittorio D‘Amore (aka Victor Love), an Italian Producer who emerged from the underground as an anonymous project in 2016 to create the soundtrack for the cyberpunk point-and-click adventure game VirtuaVerse. The project evolved into a standalone entity, releasing over fourteen albums in just a few years.
