MASTER BOOT RECORD (aka MBR) is a Computer Metal project founded in 2016 blending heavy metal with chiptune and demo scene music. Live, MBR deploys a full band alongside Commodore 64, Amiga 500 and a visual voyage into retro computer culture, videogame classics and demo scene legendary productions.

FULCI has been redefining death metal with a unique blend of crushing riffs, cinematic atmospheres, and horror-driven storytelling. Named after the legendary Italian filmmaker and “Godfather of Gore” Lucio Fulci, the band transforms the aesthetics of cult horror into a sonic nightmare, creating albums that feel like soundtracks to blood-soaked films.

AROTTENBIT is an experimental music project founded in 2008 in Milan transforming a Game Boy into a sonic weapon that tears through chiptune, sludge metal, hardcore punk, and techno.

MASTER BOOT RECORD (aka MBR) is a Computer Metal project founded in 2016 by producer Vittorio D’amore, blending heavy metal and synthesized electronic music. Gaining an increased popularity worldwide since its inception, MBR has also produced the video game “VirtuaVerse” as well as its original soundtrack - released in 2020 on all gaming platforms as well as on Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation.

The project increased its live activity in 2022, welcoming guitar virtuoso and Ibanez endorser Edoardo Taddei on lead guitar and technical death metal drummer Giulio Galati into the fold. They have come to be known as one of the most active live acts in the hybrid electronic/metal scene. MBR has released 14 albums so far via multiple record labels and has been one of the most successful artists on Bandcamp, charting #1 in general charts several times, and landing regular features and interviews on the platform as a result.

The rapid growth of the project sparked an intense live activity with several tours in Europe, North American and slots on the international festival circuit. In 2024–2025, MASTER BOOT RECORD expanded globally with the release of “Hardwarez” (Metal Blade Records, 2024), followed by an extensive world tour across North America, Canada, the UK, and Europe. Having recently toured as support for French electronic metal band Igorrr across Europe, Master Boot Record return to the UK for their own set of headline shows with Italian death metallers Fulci.
