VENTANA: New Song Posted Online

June 17, 2008

VENTANA, the Cleveland-based band featuring Rick Thomas of MUSHROOMHEAD on programming and keyboards, Matt Foran on vocals, Kyle Kotarski on guitar, Dan Fox on drums, and John Sustar on bass guitar, has posted a new song, "The Digital World", on its MySpace page.

So, what words describe our project and us? The voice belongs to the machinery of hate that drives us.

As for words to describe the beat of the dying sounds, Just listen..."
