La-Ventura is a female fronted rock/melodic metal band based in the Netherlands.
It was founded by ex-Orphanage drummer Erwin Polderman and vocalist Carla van Huizen in 2005.
Its sound is characterized by groovy drum beats, raunchy riffs and melodic female vocals.
The band terminated their agreement with Razar Ice Records in July 2007 --- just two months before the planned release date for their first album, and continued the production themselves.
[5] In November 2013, the band officially announced the signing of a license deal with Ravenheart Music Records[6] for the UK/Ireland and Valkyrie Rising[7] for the territories Germany/Austria/Switzerland.
