THIS IS COMPUTER METAL
SPREAD THE CODE

[MetalMustBleed]

The numbers (ASCII) in the description apparently translate to

Back in time when we would witness
Hardware rising in all its richness,
Pixels flashing, screens aglow,
On those CRTs we owned.

DOS prompts flicker, grey on black,
Writing codes on cyberdecks,
C++ and BASIC scripts,
Written over floppy disks.

Motherboards of untold might,
Driving us through endless fights.
RAM was tight, but we would find
Workarounds to ease the grind.

Running DOOM at insane speed,
FPS of our dreams,
Defragmenting hard disk drives,
Waiting hours till late night.

If you know where you must look,
Say the number of the loops.
Find the sequence, make it right,
In a way that I can write.

Use the key, open the gates,
For the code below awaits.
Solve the puzzle, find the clue,
And a prize will come to you.

I work for Red Bull and one of my receivers at a grocery store randomly said he was excited about this artist and album. So I put it in my phone and dayumn, this shit is fantastic! Never underestimate random recommendations, you never know when you're about to fall down the rabbit hole

[Walker]

The transition from FDD to HDD was easily my favorite part of the album

[RmFrZQ]

That feeling when you can tell the purpose of every connector, slot and IC on this motherboard, simply by looking at them.
Retro tech is beautiful.

[Phn_tm]

released on 1011 ... how... suitable ;)

[gengraded]

My GF secreted away the vinyl during the show and I got it for Xmas. Now it hangs on the wall in a frame. Can't wait for the next album. Thanks for all these amazing years of music.

[jacopodaceva]

There are few things that makes me proud to be italian, and you guys are easily in the top 3, the sheer quality of this album is impeccable. Praise the code, praise the machine!

[ThingEngineer]

Boot Loops

Oh, those days of yore, a digital plight,
When hardware woes would steal our sight.
A sudden freeze, a dreaded beep,
A boot loop's curse, dark and deep.

RAM reseated, a desperate plea,
A silent prayer, a silent plea.
For mercy's sake, let it boot once more,
And grant us access to the digital shore.

No cloud-based saves, no instant fix,
Just manual labor, a tedious mix.
Of hex codes and cryptic lines,
Debugging nightmares, endless signs.

But through it all, a spark ignited,
A passion for tech, forever sighted.
A journey began, a lifelong quest,
To master the machine, put it to the test.

This music, this band, was the soundtrack to my early days of tech exploration OVER 3 decades ago. It ignited my passion for the digital world, before it existed. It is a remix of the sounds I have always known. Thank you for loading my os MBR.

[FloweryYonni]

Praise the code!!! I absolutely love this masterpiece of an album.

[petrirantanen]

MBR never ceases to amaze! Can't wait to hear some of these live!

[ripsimps]

Thank Y’all for coming to the states it was an amazing show ! Happy this album dropped too !!!

[barbaramelissa]

This has to be my favorite so far, it's so good and the transition to HDD from FDD was perfect. God bless you, MBR, your music really resonates deeply on me.

[RandomnessChannelYT]

GPU and RAM are my favorite songs on this! superb!

[Mrwizard]

one day you think there's no more great music to hear...and the other day mbr drops this album

[Ryan.Lohman]

My first windows IBM PS2 486 DX2 66MHZ, 24MB RAM, 500MB 5400RPM Hard Disk. I upgraded her to 64MB RAM and a 2GB 7200RPM hard disk drive. It ran on Windows 3.11 / DOS 6.22 / and also it had Mandrake Linux. This brings back so many memories!

[lavagamer]

every single song in this album is a total banger (ram being among my most favorite ones), but the transition between fdd and hdd is just UGH OOh i have no words. mbr treating us to yet another masterpiece 🔥🔥 SPREAD THE CODE

[nateslack]

How in the actual fuck is this not more popular??? Clearly it's time to

[Grassik-Travka]

[ScarsUnseen]
