(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...

Face To Face
Ventana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it manmade or something that our brains can not digest
This is the time, this is the place
Is this the way it's supposed to be
Will it begin to make sense on the sad day when we leave
I want to meet your God face to face
Are we simply lost, misguided bastard children
Why have you forsaken me
Why do we torture innocent animals
When there's an overload of murdering convicts
These pieces of shit should be used as our experiments
Why do we spend so much on weight loss programs
Eat what you want but not like a slob
Then send the rest to the commercial for the ones who starve
This is the time
This is the place
I want to meet your God
Face to face
Why do we support a party keeping us buried at rock bottom
Why the fuck should these corporate assholes get tax breaks
While the rest of us can't even afford to drive
Why don't we burn every goddamn institution down
We want the truth
Or we will crush the fucking lies
Who is responisible for all this mess
Is it manmade or something our brains can not digest
This is the time, this is the place
Is this the way it's supposed to be
Will it begin to make sense on the sad day when we leave
I want to meet your God face to face
Are we simply lost, misguided bastard children
Why have you forsaken me
All this human sin has clouded your vision
Or is this what you've always seen
Where the fuck have you disappeared to
Where are you hiding or have we just hidden you
There is no power
There is no glory
This is not Earth
This is Purgatory
Why don't you care anymore
Why won't you come and disprove
All of these fucking vicious lies
The lyrics of Ventana's song "Face to Face" delve into the complexities of the world we live in and question the responsibility and purpose of those in power. The song highlights the chaos and turmoil that exists within society due to man’s actions, which has resulted in a world that is ridden with issues ranging from animal cruelty to political manipulation. The song asks questions such as "Who is responsible for all this mess? Is it manmade or something our brains cannot digest?"
The song also refers to the nature of God and the need to meet Him face to face, perhaps to seek clarity or to question why all this chaos is being allowed to persist. Ventana also raises questions as to why we torture innocent animals for experimentation when there’s an abundance of criminals who could serve as test subjects. Likewise, the song questions societal norms such as why we invest so much in weight loss programs when we could send the money to help starving people. The overall tone of the song is one of frustration and discontent with the world, yet it challenges the listener to seek answers to the problems that the world faces.
