COMPUTER METAL - THE NEW ALBUM

DOT MATRIX - NEW SINGLE OUT NOW

ASCII art typed by hand by TAINTED / FIRE
Mastering by Joel Wanasek

Ten years ago I had one intent: to start a music project that would break the rules by writing heavy metal using only synthesizers and MIDI, to boost the power and speed of human composition, to stream the process live and capture my intent as a composer on the fly.

Over the years this project has been mislabeled too many times. Then a voice rose on its own to name what it really was, and that voice said: Computer Metal. It first appeared in comments on the internet, then it became the slogan of our shows. Now it finally becomes an album: a Codex of what this new genre represents and what message it delivers. Ten different styles of computer metal, each influenced by a different genre of the metal canon. First written as a fully synthesized album, then humanized by the hand of man.

But the path that led us here has deep roots. I grew up between heavy metal, demoscene and videogames, in my father's computer shop, a software pirate's den from '86 to the late '90s. Cryptography followed me: every album carries crypto puzzles or ARGs, with secrets and bonus tracks to win, running on a server I built and still maintain, complete with a BBS and an IRC server. Over 44 videogame covers later, in 2022 the project evolved into a live band, with Eddy on shred guitar and Giulio on drums.

The concept of our live show is based on one simple rule: Machines do Machines. Humans do Humans. For it is nonsense for humans to try to do what machines do best, and nonsense to let machines do what humans do best. Rather than pretending to play programmed music live, as the vast majority of bands do, we let machines do exactly what they are meant to do: render, in real time, perfectly inhuman, quantized, preprogrammed music. And we, as humans, play live together with the machines, giving the music humanity and error, making the live experience a special, unique moment. A baritone guitar, a lead guitar and drums on one side; on the other, a Commodore 64 and an Amiga 500 modified to be played by hand as synthesizers. Yes, these are computers too, but under direct command. CRTs spinning the videos that inspired the project, and visuals synced to the music, in a full multimedia experience.

For it is humans that shall command machines, and not machines that shall command humans.

THIS IS COMPUTER METAL

@_nox_tech_ @ggbn2820 @wgeneral_eric I see a lot of people fantasizing about destroying the kujaku if they see it but that ends up being more of a problem than just ignoring it until security does something. Plus youre likely to get yourself thrown out too and that would overshadow the real reason everyone is there

[Scawt @Scawteee]

@_nox_tech_ @ggbn2820 @wgeneral_eric It's a shame, at other shows, like a metal/punk show, it would be completely acceptable for the band to call out a disruptive person to be ejected and the crowd would cheer but for idols, the vibe is very different, and calling it out would end up being more disruptive

@ArtFehler @insanenredacted Ah, thanks for the clarification. All these have been on my watchlist too, that's awesome. No shade to OP, but I think bringing up these creds sends a stronger message than a vaguepost lol

@PsykerSeiker @Sneightow congrats on your Master Chef trophy because you were cooking with this one

@ShadeMeister93 @VEK_45 bro it's literally in the name. "Not Safe For Work" is way more than just genitals or tits. Most unemployed post I've ever seen.

@ayunda_risu so you're saying I have a chance

@neuroshmancer I'd love it if they'd stick close to the Q1 aesthetic too. A panicked, tired, traumatized Ranger just trying to get home would juxtapose nicely against Doomguy
