The Venting Machine hails from the Bay Area of California. TVM has been a band for over 10 years now, and have earned the title as one of the top Bay Area underground Metal acts. The Venting Machine's sound is very unique and extremely brutal, not sticking to any one formula. The Venting Machine pride themselves on not sounding like any one band, mixing elements of Hardcore, Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash, etc. Their live show is just as intense as their sound.
