MASTER BOOT RECORD (aka MBR) is a project founded in 2016 by producer Vittorio D’amore mixing together heavy metal and synthesized electronic music.  Starting in 2016 releasing albums under the indie label Data Airlines has moved in 2018 to synthwave iconic label Blood Music to expand its audience to the electronic community. In 2019 MASTER BOOT RECORD settled with Metal Blade Records, the historic metal label based in Los Angeles to release the latest two albums “Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020)” and “Personal Computer(2022)” helping the project to gain increased popularity worldwide. MBR has also produced the video game “VirtuaVerse” as well as its original soundtrack. VirtuaVerse was released in 2020 on all gaming platforms as well as Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation.  The project as a live band increased their live activity in 2022 including live performing artists such as the guitar virtuoso and Ibanez endorser Edoardo Taddei at lead guitars and technical death metal drummer Giulio Galati.  MBR released 14 albums so far with multiple record labels and has been one of the most successful musicians on US digital distribution platform Bandcamp charting #1 in general charts several times. Because of that Bandcamp often featured the albums and made interviews directly with the artist. The rapid growth of the project sparked an intense live activity with several tours in Europe and North American as well as participating to festivals such as Super Mag Fest (USA), Resurrection Fest (Spain), Brutal Assault (Czech Republic), Wacken Open Air (Germany), Baroeg Open Air (Netherlands), Resistanz Festival (UK), SWR Fest (Portugal), Frantic Fest (Italy)  In 2024–2025, MASTER BOOT RECORD expanded globally with the release of “Hardwarez” (Metal Blade Records, October 2024), followed by an extensive world tour across North America, Canada, the UK, and Europe between September and November 2024, totaling more than 40 shows.  The band recently toured as support for the french electronic metal band Igorrr across Europe and is confirmed to perform at more European festival such as Brutal Assault, Mystic Festival, Motocultor, Arc Tangent and more to be announced.  The plans for 2026 include a full North American tour in Spring and a full European / UK tour during the fall that are ready for announcement.  MASTER BOOT RECORD is represented by Doomstar Bookings in Europe and the UK, and Heavy Talent in North America, solidifying its position as one of the most active live acts in the hybrid electronic/metal scene. 

Having grown up in the infamous 2010's Chicago area metal and hardcore scene, and over a decade existing in the furthest corners of the internet's niche cyber music communities, Blind Equation is the naturally selected herald of some the world wide web's so-called "weirdest" sounds. Standing on decades of underground and outsider sonic history, Blind Equation is the pinnacle evolution of the, until recently, obscure genres, nintendocore and cybergrind that were birthed in the Myspace era of the early '00's. 90's grindcore, Gen Z hyperpop, and Castlevania-esque video game soundtracks collide at blurring speeds under the keyboard of Blind Equation, and the subsequent amalgamation of otherwise completely incompatible styles is utterly heavenly (though, admittedly, jarring upon first listen). This deliciously digital sonic soup is comprised of the completely maximized forms of its influences and audible ingredients. The blasts: blistering, the vocals: scathing, the synths: from dirge-y dungeon depths to bombastic boss battles. The drum sequences are all around infectious and carry songs at an adventurous pace while expertly composed synths paint the perfect background for vocals that range anywhere from violent screams to effected digicore and hyperpop laden choruses. Blind Equation stands to usher in a whole new era of internet and cyber music. It's the artist you never knew you needed, but now that you've had a taste, simply cannot get enough of.
