This is a solo, DIY, ultra low budget project of the Alternative, Rock and Metal kind. I'd played in bands for about 12 years. Although I provided about 95% of the music for these bands, in secret I was making these kind of tracks to help me express what I could not with my band. I never used any of these songs with my bands because they were too personal. They were like my Diary, hence the name Venger's Diary. At the end of 2009, after 14 years I finally decided to record some of the tracks and put them online. I have hundreds of songs sitting on tapes under my bed but these are my best or most meaningful. My Shadow Venger project is musically much better but because there's no lyrics, it's difficult for people to connect with. A big part of being a musician, artist, or anything creative really is to connect with people and inspire or comfort them in some way, I hope I can do this. Visit me @
