Master Boot Record & Fulci

A concert at Slay in Glasgow bringing together Master Boot Record's computer metal, the death metal of Fulci and the Game Boy experiments of Arottenbit.

Master Boot Record is an Italian project formed in 2016 that describes its music as Computer Metal, blending heavy metal with chiptune and demo scene music. Its discography includes thirteen albums, among them PERSONAL COMPUTER (2022), HARDWAREZ (2024) and REALTIME EXECUTION (2026).

Fulci plays death metal, taking its name from the Italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci. Its crushing riffs and cinematic atmospheres draw on horror storytelling, with albums conceived as soundtracks to films of that kind. Arottenbit is an experimental project founded in 2008 in Milan, which uses a Game Boy as its sound source and moves through chiptune, sludge metal, hardcore punk and techno.

Live, Master Boot Record performs with a full band alongside Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 computers, supported by visuals that trace retro computer culture, videogame classics and landmark demo scene productions. Slay is a Glasgow venue whose programme centres on pop, rock and indie concerts.
