It began in April '04 with the original line up taking musical direction from their idols bands like Pantera, Machine Head, Carnal Forge, Biohazard, Lamb Of God and Pissing Razors to name a few, writing the sort of metal that they themselves would want to listen to. Ventflow have never really been part of a scene, always cited as the underdog, never one to run with the "what's cool now" mentality of today's metal scene. The main idea was simple, to fuse aggressive and extreme heavy music with a ice cold groove. Something to get a crowd moving and energy flowing.
