(1) A Nu-Metal Act Featuring St1tch from Mushroomhead
A culmination of efforts from Rick “stitch” Thomas of Mushroomhead, Daniel Fox, Matt Foran of Circus of Dead Squirrels, John Sustar and Kyle Kotarski.
Self Produced with the help of MUSHROOMHEAD's mastermind Steve “skinny” Felton, their collaborations contain the influences and professionalism to be expected from such affiliations. {Spanish for Window} VENTANA represents a time where we see not only the past, but also a slight reflection of our future in the dusty glass. Our efforts exist for no other reason but to bring back the type of music that inspires the listener to turn a negative situation into a positive one. The music of honesty, the music of brutal sincerity that allowed us to follow our hearts into the whirlpool that is “The Industry”.
We have been waiting in the shadows to release what we consider to be a demon that reflects a demon within us all. We behold the window into our own souls and this primal sound being channelled through. Our fans have kept the fires burning beneath our streets for so long that we have overcome adversity and continue to put our efforts into a sound that we feel represents what we want and what our fans demand.
Villainous undertones and murderous inclinations resound throughout our compositions. The lives of alienation and degradation that have brought us here shall now lead us. To understand Ventana is to experience the direct connection we are establishing between our nature and the world we have come to reject. As for words to describe the sound of Ventana, Just listen...

Cry Little Sister
Ventana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear
Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Blue masquerade, strangers look on
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie
Cry Little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill
My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now
Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill
The lyrics to Ventana's song Cry Little Sister are cryptic but offer a glimpse into a story that involves fear, loneliness, temptation, and love. The opening lines "A last fire will rise behind those eyes, Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie" paint a picture of impending doom or danger. The repetition of "Thou shall not" throughout the song adds a religious or moral tone suggesting that the singer is urging his sister not to give in to whatever temptation or danger she may be facing.
The line "Blue masquerade, strangers look on, when will they learn this loneliness?" suggests that the singer's sister is surrounded by people but still feels lonely. This line could refer to a social situation or even a psychological barrier. However, the singer is offering himself as a source of comfort, urging his sister to come to him and not fall or die. The line "Temptation heat beats like a drum, deep in your veins, I will not lie" further suggests that his sister is facing some strong temptation, perhaps a metaphorical drumbeat, but he will not lie to her and will offer himself as support.
The final lines "My Shangri-Las, I can't forget, Why you were mine, I need you now" suggest the singer has some history with his sister or perhaps this is a reference to his sister's youth. The song ends on the same note it began, urging his sister to cry but also offering her love and moral support.
