Venom's 30 Most WTF Moments 31 IMAGES

The album, Kamikaze , is executive produced by Dr. Dre and Eminem. It’s 13 tracks long, with the final track titled Venom (Music From the Motion Picture). The song contains a mixture of drum loops, synth tracks, guitars and a classic flow from Eminem.References to the film come and go, but some are apparent. The early lines in the song seem to allude to Eddie Brock communicating with the Venom symbiote, saying: “When the world gives you a raw deal, sets you off till you scream ‘piss off, screw you,’ when it talks to you like you don’t belong... when something’s in your mind... cause it latched onto you.”The chorus proceeds to repeat the word venom consistently, but not as an obvious reference to the film or character. A set of lyrics later in the song are more directly about the the character: "Knock knock let the devil in, alien... phone home, ain’t no telling when this chokehold on this game will end, I’m loco, became a symbiote, so my veins are in your throat...”Ultimately, the song paints Eminem as the symbiote taking over the listener: "To face the demons I’m bonded to cause they’re chasing me but I’m part of you so escaping me is impossible. I’ll latch onto you like a parasite... I’m the super-villain dad and mom was losing their marbles to, you marvel that, Eddie Brock is you and I’m the suit so call me Venom."Kamikazi is available now on Apple Music, Spotify, Eminem’s official website and more. Eminem hinted that he would contribute a song to the Venom soundtrack earlier that same day, and even shared a snippet of the track , but most didn’t expect it to drop this soon, or for it to debut alongside an entire surprise album.For more on Venom, check out how Tom Hardy is signed up for three Venom films and see what other Spider-Man spin-off films are in development.
