The Ultimate (So Far) Villain Song Soundtrack
GDB Ever notice how in any movie, show, or game with singing, if the villain gets a song, it’s the best one on the soundtrack? Makes sense; everyone knows villains are more interesting than heroes, which means so are their tastes in music.
Know what else makes sense? Combining all the best villain songs into one evil, awesome soundtrack. Putting this album together has been a project I’ve been meaning to get to for a while now. And since it’s almost Halloween, I figured I’d also share it here so others can go out and do likewise.
So partly in the spirit of the holiday, and partly because it’s just a good idea anytime of the year, here’s my Ultimate (So Far) Villain Song Soundtrack. I reserve the right to come back and add to it as new villains with new musical accompaniment arise in the stuff I watch and play.
During the tail end of writing this novel, though, I pulled down The Book of Kings from our shelves, a collection of “20 all-original stories of kings and kingdoms, both traditional and fantastical, recounted by such noble tale-tellers as (a bunch of names that probably look at least somewhat familiar).” Our own story is largely centered around the activities of a royal family and the assassin who’s living in their midst, so I thought it would be a good source of inspiration and motivation while I already had kings and their doings on the brain.
