Dark Station debuted the video for its latest single this week.

The band debuted the video for its single ‘Villain‘ Friday. The song, the fourth to come from the band’s forthcoming album Down in the Dark, was inspired by the movie Venom according to band member Kyle Ort.

Ort talked about that inspiration in a recent interview.

‘Since the lyrics were inspired by the movie Venom, we wanted to keep the same feel for the video,” he said.  “The video starts with this darkness taking over [front man] Nathan [Spades], eventually leading him to rob a gas station.  The band catches up to him at the end, where Nathan shoots himself in the shoulder, releasing the darkness.  This is definitely one of the most visually impressive videos we have made.  We think this song belongs in the next super hero movie.  Maybe Venom 2?”

Spades expanded on Ort’s comments with his own statement.

“‘Villain‘ is 100 percent about the character Eddie Brock and his relationship with Venom,” Spades said.  “It’s about how they had to accept and compromise on this new way of living, but I think people will relate it to things that are important to them.  This song means the most to me, because while we were writing the song, I really started to believe in myself again as well as Dark Station.”

‘Villain‘ is just the latest song to be released from Dark Station’s upcoming album Down in the Dark.  The band most recently debuted the video for the album’s third single, ‘No Life.’  Its debut was preceded by the debut of the songs ‘Obvious‘ and ‘Heroes.’

Lionsgate’s big screen adaptation of author Tom Rob Smith’s book Child 44 didn’t stay in theaters very long when it made its theatrical debut back on April 17^th. Thankfully though, audiences that wanted to see it but didn’t get the chance will now finally get that chance as Child 44 will come home this summer.

Child 44 will be available in stores and online on Tuesday, July 21st. It will be available both on Blu-ray + Digital HD combo pack and DVD + Digital combo pack. Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, Lawless), Gary Oldman (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises) and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Prometheus, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) star in the movie, which centers on Hardy’s Soviet secret police officer Leo Demidov. After the son of Leo Demidov’s friend is killed, Demidov suspects that his superiors are covering up what really happened to the boy. When he starts investigating what really happened, he is quickly demoted and sent off to a provincial outpost with his wife Raisa (Rapace). It is there that Leo discovers that the death of his friend’s son was not the only one of its kind that has happened recently. So it is up to Leo to convince his new boss General Mikhail Nesterov (Oldman) that a crazed serial killer is on the loose and must be stopped before he takes another innocent life.

Both combo packs will include a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette titled “Reflections of History” that examines the work that went into re-creating the Soviet Union circa the 1950s. The DVD + Digital combo pack will retail for MSRP of $19.98 and the Blu-ray + Digital HD combo pack for $24.99.
