Electronic music concert in Tampere.
MASTER BOOT RECORD (MBR) is an Italian electronic metal project founded in 2016 by Rome-based producer Vittorio D'Amore, who records and performs under the alias Victor Love. The project blends synthesized heavy metal, chiptune, demoscene aesthetics and classical structures into a sound entirely its own - signed to Metal Blade Records since 2019, MBR has released over fourteen albums and built a devoted international following. D'Amore originally kept the project anonymous, presenting himself only as 'the technologist', though he has since acknowledged that true anonymity was never really the point.
MASTER BOOT RECORD released their debut live album, Realtime Execution, on April 9, 2026 as a name-your-price item on Bandcamp, featuring 15 tracks recorded across cities including Berlin, London, Toronto and Chicago.
Following the live album release, MBR announced 65 tour dates for the remainder of 2026, including a North American run through May and a UK/European leg from November 5 to December 12.
MBR performed at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire alongside Igorrr and Imperial Triumphant in October 2025 as part of a European co-headline tour.
The album HARDWAREZ was released on October 11, 2024 via Metal Blade Records, debuting at #3 on Billboard's Current Electronic Albums chart.
HARDWAREZ marked a sonic evolution for MBR by incorporating real guitar overdubs alongside the project's signature synthesized arrangements for the first time.
