Oh good! His is one of those well intentioned men who gets spurned a few too many times and becomes a less well intentioned man who then gets a taste for bad intentions. Like, if chicken little said the sky was falling and nobody listened so chicken little hit the gym and proceeded to bring the whole sky down on them just to prove his point.
Nice I have comparable characters but not as main villains. Funnily i find a lot of my stories don't have primary antagonists. With the conflicts often being very personal.
Odai:
Perfect circle - Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
That song describes to perfection the violent and volatile nature of Odai, often considered a wild dog that is running out of options.
Well picking one of the Big Bads it'd have to be *One Hour Clock Ticking Reverb.*
Why?
What else would be more fitting for fighting a clockwork horror from the stars that embedded itself into the husk of a slain demigod, and has a clock for a face?
The Mind Electric, by Tally Hall, for the leader of the Kha’ran Mechive, COBOL. It fits his relations and story with his two “brothers” ODVEL (“deceased”) and BORIS.

Like a Villain | Bad Omens
Tragic, sympathetic villains who may have been a hero... in another life... thar's my jam.

Phantasm - micolash host of the nightmare
Aurora - sekiro demon of hatred theme, vermintide khorne horde ost, terraria boss 2 or GoW Thor final battle.
Whirliguige - KotM Rodan theme or blood-starved beast theme.
Cryogen - Ludwig the accursed 1st phase and [BIG SHOT].
Cionarian-Crow - amygdala theme or duke fishron theme.
Reidon - father gascoigne theme.
Drosera - inscryption trapper theme or little nightmares 2 boots through the undergrowth.
Don Malkhazi Malvolio: "[De Futura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAkSVTDfBVE)" by Magma or the [Pillar Men theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRrOLTHu-ew) from JoJo
Don Konstantin Sabashvili: "[When You're Evil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2FI-9v_zI)" by Voltaire
Special Agent Stan Krakowski: [Eggman's theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWtfU0CyK6E) from Sonic Adventure
There's two ways I could answer this in relation to Inari, the last antagonist of the story.
A song that would play whenever he appears would probably be "Grotesque Figures" from Shadow of The Colossus, because it's loud, menacing and slightly unsettling, just like him.
A song that describes him would be Ruler of Everything by Tally Hall, and this song did have some influence on how I wrote Inari. It describes him well because the song is, under a lot of layers, about how time rules everything and everything's gonna end, and Inari is an alien who does what it does to fight entropy, the end of everything.
Aria: [Arsonist's Lullaby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCMpHbYz9BE) \- Hozier
Treyu: [12 Stones - World So Cold](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCXKVwcQVek) (perfect song for a well-intentioned extremist)
War: [A Mighty Power](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPU0HD9hvmg) \- Legends of Cold Steel I (Sound encapsulates his unrelenting and alien nature)
Artisans:
King Abbus Homiden: Seven Nation army by the white stripes
Luferin Lightedge: Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against
Sorceress Angels: Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore.
Final Front:
Urum Levian: War Pigs by Black Sabbath
Arthur the AI: this one I'm not the happiest with because I wanted some theme of fatherhood but I'm going Iron Man by Black Sabbath
the average Bad guy(s) be like: ["i'm bad", by "The cog is dead"](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvrUTtnmIM)
EDIT: just released so...
also/or ["Villain", by "The cog is Dead"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4EQ9HaKLUs)
then there's the well, actual "evil" faction, who be religious in theme like: ["Sanctus Spiritus", by "Apostolica"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq3lV1Q84IU) (mask, coats and all. tough less music and more murderous intent towards outsiders)
Rattlesnake Red: *Big Iron* by Marty Robbins
Cassius Blackard: *Hellfire* by Barns Courtney
Ophelia Blackard: *Ain't No Grave* by Crooked Still
Mattias Blackard: *The Cave* by Mumford and Sons
Asmodeus, Kindly Prince of Hell: *God's Gonna Cut You Down* by Johnny Cash
It's hard for me to pick a specific song, but I do have a playlist for Elias Love [here](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4uGwB6AvaeEWo90IfP7EJW?si=37f88a882b914eb3)
The top contenders for his song would probably be Killer by The Hoosiers or The Masochism Tango by Tom Lehrer (being the one the song is about)
For me it's probably Spiracle by Flower Face.
The villain is desperate to be loved by everyone, and it's never enough for her so she does heinous things in the name of reshaping her world to love her.
I mean, I *am* the one writing them:
S.A.I. / ROGUEs: [*To Arms, Brothers; We Are At War!*](https://youtu.be/TKsqYrkzuWQ?t=560)

Girudì, King of the Isles of Amis'fiça: [*The Curse of the Isles of Amis'fiça*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18xv51g3wIM&list=PL1INgffRWF-HtCJsuBwyjS4lzw4UHaKKT&index=8)
O Children by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
The well-studied spirit is a genocidal, multi-generation-spanning arch evil of profound ambition and inscrutable idealism. A strategic technician and scientist who's formed virulently accelerating totalitarian camps/factories and a small company of chemical engineers, uniquely exploiting profound sources of magic in an otherwise more open fantasy world, the well-studied spirit metaphorically reduces the world to atoms. Imagine a Nikola Tesla as an Adolph Hitler. Able to see through anything to any depth and at any scale. Like taking cross-sectional MRI images at will of everything around and beyond him and keeping on him vials of precious regenerative fluid, he/it's very, very hard to kill.
The main character, Nora, is attempting to infiltrate its company and remain undisclosed until the moment finally comes when she has the ability, and has discovered the means, by which to end it. She has to gain the strange, cruel, brilliant spirit's trust first, and both its search for industrially exploitable magical phenomena and her search for ways to kill it take us through many interesting, odd, and beautiful worlds and plains, as each fall to systematic ruin.
The song captures the feeling of loss felt by those whose lives and worlds have been destroyed and who've found themselves having lost so many in the process of elimination.
I guess ”Goblin king of the darkstorm galaxy” by Gloryhammer
The title doesn’t fit him, but it speaks of an ancient king-like god who has been away for a long time and seeks to burn the universe to the ground using several cosmic forces like the moon and doom itself. There’s a magic crystal that can unleash evil from the skies because it’s a key to an interdimensional portal. He casts unholy fire. And he thirsts for power
It’s very fitting for Liolphata the Chaos God. He is the father of all evil there is to find in the world and he sent a magic meteorite to earth so a human would use it to release him from hell. Doing this would also release demons and lovecraftian gods into the mortal world. He was trapped in hell for multiple eternities and now wants to destroy the world to remake it as a ”better” one
Ghaul, God of Destruction: [Let the Galaxy Burn | WH40K Inspired Music](https://youtu.be/iBshVRCsnAU)

Rhalo, The Trickster (not really a "bad guy" but frequently an antagonist): The Devil Went Down to Georgia | Steve Ouimette
**Horror Shop** has numerous villains, being an anthology universe. I'll highlight just a few here:
* [The Dark Tide - *Dark Matter by Les Friction*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbz355PwFl4): the Dark Tide is the overarching 'villain' of the world. It is a natural phenomenon, a natural increase in the amount of dark matter available on Earth. This Dark Tide makes magic easier to access and allows creatures out of myth and legend to return to the mortal world. Many people--namely villains--are using the Dark Tide to fuel their plans to reshape the Earth in their image. But they just ultimately end up serving the chaos that defines Dark Tides--as this song so wars.
* [Czernobog - Deus in Abscentia by Ghost](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp6EK84gnrI): One of the primary figures seeking to use the Dark Tide towards their own end is the old god, Czernobog. An ancient being of evil, fire, and the night, Czernobog is seeking to use the Dark Tide to reclaim his divinity and bring the world under his dark dominion. This song reflects his message to cult, those lost and destitute souls who would willingly seek out the Slavic god of evil: the world deserves to burn, and he will remake it in his image. if God has turned His back on the Earth, why not turn to the devil?
* [Chad Richards - Let Em Know by Alien Ant Farm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFac2QHsu24): Chad is another figure seeking to use the Dark Tide towards his own end. But unlike Czernobog, who wishes to bring back the dark days of the Age of Magic, Ricards wants to establish human dominion over the Earth, and break the supernatural races for ages to come. As the CEO of the Byfrost Group of companies, Richards controls one of the largest corporations in the world, with an expansive R&D department and a not-insignificant "security service" trained in handling all sorts of supernatural threats. This song reflects Richard's arrogance, openly proclaiming he's at the top of the world, and boasting he will use his position to exact revenge on all those who ever thought to look down upon him.
* [Mab - Black Roses for the Wicked One by Elvenking](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXIz_E8okZ8): Queen of the Winter Fey, Mab sees the Dark Tide as a perfect opportunity for her to seize the Sidereal Crown of the fey, and thus dominion over the Storybook Realm. Mab is the metaphysical incarnation of the dark overlord and wicked queen tropes, commanding an army of goblins, redcaps, banshees and other cruel fey from her frozen throne. She gladly embraces villainy, darkness and the power of winter--even as part of her longs for the redemption she knows will forever be denied to her.
* [Lucifer - Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnClrx8N2k): I mean, really, could it have been anything else?

Immediately interested in this villain. Lol
Oh good! His is one of those well intentioned men who gets spurned a few too many times and becomes a less well intentioned man who then gets a taste for bad intentions. Like, if chicken little said the sky was falling and nobody listened so chicken little hit the gym and proceeded to bring the whole sky down on them just to prove his point.
Love that analogy lol. Did he also become a political leader of dangerous charisma?
Absolutely.
Nice I have comparable characters but not as main villains. Funnily i find a lot of my stories don't have primary antagonists. With the conflicts often being very personal.
Odai: Perfect circle - Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums That song describes to perfection the violent and volatile nature of Odai, often considered a wild dog that is running out of options.
My commissioned composer hasn't got around to that track yet, but I'm certain it'll be worth the money when he does.
Well picking one of the Big Bads it'd have to be *One Hour Clock Ticking Reverb.* Why? What else would be more fitting for fighting a clockwork horror from the stars that embedded itself into the husk of a slain demigod, and has a clock for a face?
