VENUSTRA

About me:

Venustra is the brain-child of an Austin, Texas musician Synderella Nervosa. The project started out as a development of direction and sound and art working under the moniker "Misery Theatre" from 2009 to 2014. After changing the name to Venustra, the goal was still roughly the same, however, less constricted on the direction of the sound. The new idea was to make this project as versatile as possible. Charged on the fierceness of Dir En Grey and Wednesday 13 the main goal for Venustra at the start was a multi media project. The prospect of live shows was a virtual impossibility but that was the idea at the time. But, convinced by a few folks to get the music out there, Syn had since made it a point to make the shows as engaging as possible. Playing a few shows solo with nothing but a backing track, soon caught the attention of a few local musicians. Venustra had never expanded beyond three or four players at a time, but still managed to make a big impression on an audience.

Still working as a 3 piece in early 2019, right out the gate, playing opening slots for bands such as Combichrist and Beasto Blanco.

Venustra released their debut album: Candy Apples Custom Made on December 1st, 2019 on Misery Theatre Records.

In 2020, they released the Single "May, I" as well as a re-release, in late October, of the debut album 'Candy Apples' as a "Reimagined" version. Due to the previous releases' production errors.
