New single PLUG AND PLAY is out now on all digital platforms.
The new album COMPUTER METAL will be out on 30 October 2026.
The track is the soundtrack of the trailer for 'No Trace Back,' a racing game we are developing at Theta Division Games, the team behind VirtuaVerse.
Watch ://t.co/otABTbUGRV
Elder0010 codes it in Unity, I write the music, and we shape the concept and game design together. It is a racer in pure vector graphics, in the line of the early arcade classics like Star Hawk, Tempest, and Cosmic Chasm: fast, high framerate, set in a virtual world where you compete for the prestige of your house.
The free demo already runs on several mechanics, and the full version will go further, adding narrative and strategy elements and VR support. Computer metal has always come with code attached: crypto puzzles, ARGs, a whole server, a video game. This time the code is a racer.
The demo is free download at thetadivision.com

COMPUTER METAL - THE NEW ALBUM
30 OCTOBER 2026 ON METAL BLADE
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 IDI, 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.

ROMA.EXE - JUNE 20/21
CASILINO SKYPARK - ROME
THE FIRST DEMOPARTY IN ROME
A demoparty is a computer-art event where artists and programmers gather to compete with their own creations (demos) in competitions divided by platform or specific rules. A demo is a program that displays l time. Demogroups are collectives of programmers, musicians and artists who collaborate in creating them.
The challenge relies heavily on the limits of the machine's performance or the available memory. Making a demo on C64 is different from making one on PC, just as pixel art has different limits than text art that define its style.
At ROMA.EXE you can present your creations or simply vote and enjoy the show. To submit your works also by remote, contact info@roma-exe.com and you will receive your code.
-------TICKETS------
[DEMOPARTY + SHOW] - 25€ + booking fee on DICE
link.dice.fm/h33feeb97df9
With this ticket you get access to the Demo Party located in the ground-floor warehouse. If you present a demo, you'll have a table available to set up your PC or your machine. The ticket includes access to the concert on June 20 and access to the closing day of the demo party on June 21.
[SHOW ONLY] 10€ + booking fee on DICE

Ticket for the concert only, with access to the Casilino Skypark rooftop.

The tour has come to an end and there’s no doubt this has been the best one we’ve ever had for so many reasons!
We shared the road with amazing people, performed at iconic venues, met new friends, reached countless new fans, and reunited with our beloved ones once again. le from start to finish, and we’re deeply grateful for all this.
Massive thanks to @IgorrrBarrroque for having us. It's been an honor and a pleasure to support such a unique band.
To @imperialnyc, thank you for your brilliant music, your kindness, and all the unforgettable moments we shared together.
Huge shoutout to Fred, the best tour manager we’ve ever seen in action, and to the entire crew. True professionals from whom we’ve learned so much just by watching them work.
And of course, a special thanks to our own crew, growing tighter and stronger with every tour:
Arottenbit for the massive sound and all the upgrades made for this run.
Peppe for driving us over 15,000 km across Europe and handling stage tech duties like a machine.
Luca for crushing it at the merch booth, busier than ever.
But most of all thank you to everyone who came to the shows and for your overwhelming support.
We’ll be back on the road soon:
🇺🇸 USA/CAN – April/May 2026
🇪🇺 Europe/UK – November/December 2026
In between, catch us at major European festivals including Brutal Assault, Mystic Festival, Motocultor, and more TBA.
Computer Metal is on the rise.
