Come hang and let's hsve a good time.
Free show. Starts at 9:30 (but it's also a regular bar so you can come whenever). Viminal at 11.

Wanna play guitar in Viminal?
Hey folks. We are looking for a 2nd lead guitarist.
You may know us as a 3-piece, but really, Viminal is meant to have 2 guitarists.
We've been perfectly active playing shows, writing music, etc, just as a 3-piece. But it's time to find our 4th amigo.
That said, we're really looking for the right person. You gotta be a cool cat, good at your instrument, vibe with us, etc.
And we do have a bunch of shows coming up. So you'll be playing live with us soon!
If this sounds like the right fit, just message us and we'll go from there.
Watch the whole video and you'll see some Viminal guitar moments if you aren't already super familiar with our music.
Also if you're seeing this and you know someone else who would want the gig, send this to that person and connect us. I mean, imagine it's the right person. Wouldn't we all be so stoked?
All right. Thanks for checking out the post. We're looking forward to meeting you whoever you are.
- \m/ John (a.k.a. the other guitar player and vocalist)
Today's the day...
Ruinfest 2025 in Santa Ana, CA at @stagesbar
The whole thing begins at 7:00 pm with Viminal (hey, that's us!)
2 stages. Sooo many sick CA bands.
This only happens once a year. And it's never the same again. Don't miss out. Come rage and have some fun with us.
We'll see you at 7.
PS: They're also raffling off a 7-string Jackson King V. Come thru and you just might win. That is, if John doesn't win. He loves V's. He wins raffles. He is also writing this post.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the @viminalofficial show last night! Great friends, great bands, great hangs. Santa Barbara, y'all kicked ass 🤘🏻
See you all tonight in Ventura @sanssouci_aka_thesewer for round 2 💪🏻
Happy (belated) birthday to our drummer extraordinaire, @docrunii .
He contributes to the band in so many ways besides playing fast and loud. He's always kind, excited, full of creative ideas...and always on time ;)
Ask him about Star Wars stuff and DnD.
Happy birthday, King. Here's to another year around the sun.
BTW you can see Doc in action next week not once...but twice. Because we have two Viminal shows:
Friday in Santa Barbara @ @whiskeyrichards_sb with @disruptedeuphoria
Saturday in Ventura @ @sanssouci_aka_thesewer with @toosick_topray and @highwithamber
See yall there. Let's rock out with our Doc out (oh god sorry but we had to).

...or wherever else you stream music.
You can stream our first single, "War God".
Yes yes yes...we know. This is long overdue. Feel free to sound off about it in the comments, for it will please the algorithm gods. We'll respond with the whole long story about it.
Oh, and look at this absolutely gorgeous artwork from Rudi Yanto (@rudigorgingsuicide ).
There's also a guitar-music-video thing on YouTube for this song. Go ahead and watch that too.
Anyway, thanks for streaming.
Because you're streaming "War God"...right?
RIGHT?
UGH.
"Scars of an existence bringing heaven to her knees..."
K love ya,

Mandatory post-show photo dump. (Actually, we have way more that we'll post soon.)
Last night's show in Ventura with @carnal_deity_official and @kilbornband was as heavy as it was fun. Seriously the whole night was all hugs and headbanging. Thanks a million to @wickedwednesday805 for putting it together, to @sanssouci_aka_thesewer for having us, and to @digidrums for the eye-catching artwork.
Not to mention it was @jayrivera70 's birthday, and he joined us for a pretty wild cover song haha. If you were there, you know what's up.
Anyway, we'll see ya'll at the next show. Got some good stuff planned.
Til then. - \m/ Viminal
Updated flyer for this Wednesday in Ventura @ The Sewer AKA Sans Souci (@sanssouci_aka_thesewer )
We're playing a special edition Wicked Wednesday (@wickedwednesday805 ) for Jay's birthday...
And we'll be joined by some brutal 805 bands:
Carnal Deity (@carnal_deity_official )
Killborn (@kilbornband )
(Sidenote from John: Carnal Deity was one of the first "local" bands I ever saw when I was a teenager and getting into extreme metal. They played at the Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park with a bunch of other bands. We've been homies ever since. And we've played a few shows together too. It's so fun to see how long relationships can last in the metal scene. Suuuuuper excited to play with them once again!)
Anyway, this show is 100% free. Just come, grab a drink, and have a good time.
Starts at 9:00 PM. Viminal goes on at ~11:00 PM. Let us know when you get there ;)
Lastly - props to @digidrums for these awesomeeee flyers gawd dayum.
Hope to see lots of ya'll there! - \m/ Viminal
