==Early Life==
Love was exposed to computers at an early age, as his father ran a computer shop in Rome in the 90s. Before this, his father was involved in computers as a hobbyist, which allowed Love to play with early computers in his cellar.<ref name = "WFA"/> He would later work at his father's shop, and worked as a [[System administrator|system administrator]] for a local university after the shop’s closing in the early 2000s.<ref name="WFA"/><ref name = "Metal Blade">{{cite web |title=MASTER BOOT RECORD |url=https://www.metalblade.com/us/artists/master-boot-record/ |website=Metal Blade Records}}</ref>
==Influence==
Love's influence largely comes from early computer systems and "[[Crack intro|cracktros]],"<ref name = "Metal Blade"/> as well as [[Death metal|death]] and [[Thrash metal|thrash metal]] music that he listened to as a teenager, such as [[Metallica]] and [[Megadeth]].<ref name = "WFA"/>
==Keygen Church==
Keygen Church is another of Love's projects, combining [[Baroque music|Baroque]] and [[Romantic music|Romantic]] inspired music with synth metal. Keygen Church focuses on "a religious view of old technology and the old-school underground computer scene." Love says that the vision behind Keygen is a "church that preserves and protects the ancient codes" and a "cult of the old code."<ref>{{cite web |title=Keygen Church |url=https://www.metalblade.com/us/artists/keygen-church/ |website=Metal Blade Records |access-date=5 March 2024}}</ref>
