“PLUG AND PLAY” is the newest single from Italy’s MASTER BOOT RECORD. The track comes off the band’s impending new Computer Metal full-length, set for official unveiling on October 30th via Metal Blade Records.

Comments band mastermind and multi-instrumentalist, Vittorio D’Amore, “Every MASTER BOOT RECORD album ships with one melodic anthem. “PLUG AND PLAY” is the purest build of that code: no drivers, no setup, it just runs and its melodies will stick in your memory.”

The single comes accompanied by a video and game demo. D’Amore comments, “The video for ‘Plug and Play’ is not just a music video: it is the trailer of ‘No Trace Back,’ a racing game we are developing at Theta Division Games, the team behind VirtuaVerse. Elder0010 codes it in Unity, I write the music, and we shape the concept and game design together. It is a racer in pure vector graphics, in the line of the early arcade classics like Star Hawk, Tempest, and Cosmic Chasm: fast, high framerate, set in a virtual world where you compete for the prestige of your house. The free demo already runs on several mechanics, and the full version will go further, adding narrative and strategy elements and VR support. Computer metal has always come with code attached: crypto puzzles, ARGs, a whole server, a video game. This time the code is a racer. The demo is free at https://thetadivision.com”

Computer Metal makes a bold statement across its ten songs, kicking off with the first single, “DOT MATRIX” and wrapping up with “CTRL+ALT+DEL.” The follow-up to 2024’s Hardwarez, Computer Metal was written via MIDI in Cubase, with the computer as the main instrument. The record refines a hybrid of real guitar layered with synths and pushes the production to higher levels.

Multi-instrumentalist mastermind Vittorio D’Amore explains the thrust of his latest opus, “Hardwarez was about the hardware; Computer Metal is more connected to what computers represent in our lives and the memory we have of them. This album is a sort of codex of the genre, since each song expresses a different style of metal, while still being done with the computer.”

“Computer Metal” is not a genre tag D’Amore picked; it is a genre he built, and Computer Metal is its definition. Ten tracks, 42 minutes, a single LP, old-school. Everything you hear was written note by note by a human with a keyboard and a mouse controlling a machine. Everything you see in the artwork was typed character by character. No generated content, no shortcuts. If you lived that era, this album will read your memory. If you didn’t, it will install it. SPREAD THE CODE.
