Italy’s boundary-breaking computer metal project Master Boot Record is set to return to North America in Spring 2026, launching a full coast-to-coast headlining tour across the United States and Canada.
Following a hugely successful European run alongside Igorrr with support from Imperial Triumphant, MBR now brings their uncompromising live assault back across the Atlantic. The tour ignites on April 24 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and culminates on May 30 in Brooklyn, New York, marking over a month of relentless execution.
Tickets are on sale now.
🧠 COMPUTER METAL RETURNS — LOUDER, SHARPER, DEADLIER
MASTER BOOT RECORD describes the upcoming run as both a return and an expansion — revisiting familiar strongholds while finally infiltrating long-awaited new cities.
Fans can expect:
- Brand-new synchronized visual systems
- A full expanded live set
- Inclusion of “Tenebre Rosso Sangue” by Keygen Church, as performed during the recent European tour
This is computer metal in its most evolved state — precision-engineered, visually weaponized, and physically overwhelming.

🧨 CRITICAL PRAISE
“A relentless stream of instrumental metal fused with retro computer-game bleeps and aesthetics… technically dazzling, packed with tapping, sweeping, and shredding.” — Rock Flesh
“Loaded and ready to execute. Their sound is crushing, industrial, and punishing — the crowd is fully onboard.” — At The Barrier
💽 HARDWAREZ — THE CODE BEHIND THE CHAOS
MASTER BOOT RECORD tours in support of HARDWAREZ, the 2024 full-length released via Metal Blade Records.
Created by multi-instrumentalist and mastermind Vittorio D’Amore (aka Victor Love), HARDWAREZ explores the duality of technology — power versus dependence, precision versus chaos. The album follows Personal Computer (2022) and Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020), further expanding MBR’s cybernetic mythology.
True to form, HARDWAREZ was composed live via desktop streaming, entirely programmed through MIDI, then reinforced by real guitars, updated drum systems, and a heavier, punchier mix approach developed through intensive touring.
The results spoke immediately:
- #3 on Billboard’s Current Electronic Albums
- #11 on Current Hard Music Albums
- #17 on Top New Artists Albums
