Vena II (alternatively known as Vena: Chapter 2) is the third maxi-single by Japanese rock band Coldrain, released on 17 August 2016.[1]

Originally intended to have the two new songs, along with the acoustic renditions of "Gone" and "The Story" to be included on a deluxe edition of Vena. Vena II would later be released as a maxi-single, with physical copies being exclusively released in Japan after complications and difficulties with their international label Hopeless Records.
