Interview By: Justin Smulison
MASTER BOOT RECORD performs one of the most unique brands of metal in my listening rotation.
The Italy-based electronic project is purely instrumental, featuring various layers of synth over crunching
guitars and beats. Master Boot Record is the brainchild of Victor Love, a producer who emerged from the
underground as an anonymous project in 2016 to create the soundtrack for the cyberpunk point-and-click
adventure game VirtuaVerse. The project seamlessly evolved into a standalone entity, releasing over 14
albums in just a few years.
The masked metal aficionado successfully replicates digital hums and patterns of the technology that
run the days of our lives, which you can hear it on albums such as 2024’s Hardwarez, and 2022’s
Personal Computer, both released by Metal Blade Records.
Is this music for hackers and gamers? Sonic code for those who can zero in on a goal amid a
cacophony of creative and technical sequences? Or just simply wild instrumental music rooted in guitars,
computers and keys? Or all of the above?
Victor and I talked about Master Boot Records digital soundscapes while he was on the road
approaching the Canadian border on Jan. 20. Our audio interview was just ahead of the final shows of the
nine-date Eastern headlining tour, which will run through January 26th at TV Eye in Ridgewood, New York.
But it’s not “game over” for too long, as Victor assures us that Master Boot Record will reemerge with
new music and live shows.
