Multi-instrumentalist Vittorio D’Amore commented:
“’Hardwarez’ was about the hardware; ‘Computer Metal’ is more connected to what computers represent in our lives and the memory we have of them. This album is a sort of codex of the genre, since each song expresses a different style of metal, while still being done with the computer.
These are terms that entered everyday language, and that is the point: this culture is not a niche, it was a generation’s shared experience. Even someone who never opened a computer case knows what it means when a screen asks you to press Ctrl+Alt+Del.”
The lead single, “DOT MATRIX,” can be found below. D’Amore added the following about that:
“Angry printers head slamming characters into your face. Hardcore metal was never in the MASTER BOOT RECORD codebase before. Now it boots first, no warm-up.”
