Venus Volcanism (aka Rena Rasouli) is a vocalist, musician, sound explorer, and music producer, born and raised on the island of Crete. For the past four years, she has been living in Siglufjörður, the northernmost town in Iceland.

She has studied modern singing and attended seminars on traditional and polyphonic vocal techniques. Venus collaborates with various artists and bands within the Greek music scene and is one half of the Danish-Greek post-synth punk duo V.V.I.A., alongside In Atlas—former member of Lepidoptera and The Man from Managra, and founder of the Arismari Trio.

Her music spans a broad range of genres, blending ambient, traditional, and polyphonic elements with field recordings, dark wave, post-punk, and techno.

Her debut solo EP, Rizitiko, was released by Weaponize Your Sound, a sub-label of the Scottish imprint Optimo. It has been showcased in Greece, Denmark, and Iceland. Her second EP, Tissue, was released on Submersion Records and featured in standout performances at Unaðdalskirkja Church in northwest Iceland (as part of the Snæfjallahátið Festival), the Ibrahim Khan Mosque within the Fortezza fortress in Rethymno, and the Onassis Foundation’s Stegi Radio TakeOver.
