About Me

VENTANA - Translated from Spanish -"Window = an interval of time during which certain conditions or an opportunity exists"
As the night extends and the curtain draws, a thunderous noise emanates from the stage in front of you. Poignant lights from every direction shoot across your face adding to the almost indefinite level of intensity and excitement. This is all within 2 minutes of the experience that nothing will ever compare to. Your first VENTANA show.....prepare yourself.
Born into existence in the winter of 2004 by John "evl" Sustar, VENTANA was a creation of villainous undertones and murderous inclinations that only a life of degradation and alienation can bring forth. Like a time bomb waiting to explode, like a metal hanger sitting in a fire.......thus is the overall premise of the band that critics have called "A new breed of industrial music that brings out the anger in even the most compassionate."
As with most new endeavors, VENTANA had many changes and overhauls, but one thing held true....the music. Consisting of bass player Dave Jares, Sampler/DJ Rick "St1tch" Thomas (MUSHROOMHEAD), VENTANA is nothing short of a group of determined, pissed off musicians whose sole purpose is to concoct a product to make the listener realize that not only are they not alone in the bruises and cuts of every day life, but that there is an escape.
From winning the 2006 "Cleveland Scene Music Award" for best Industrial/Goth band, to the mentions, write ups and interviews in numerous local and national publications, VENTANA is making a mark on more than just the "industrial metal" genre....but music as a whole. If you have even an ounce of animosity pumping through your veins, a small amount of anguish seething from your pores or even an almost insignificant sense of resentment in your heart, VENTANA is your release...you have been warned..
