a soundtrack for Hell...
 

I'm an artist recently commissioned to do a large portrait of Hell and I need some good music to get me in that infernal mood.

So, if you had to create a soundtrack for Hell, what albums, artists, songs would you choose?

Thanks!

Are we talking campy, kitschy hell here or scary horror movie hell?

I'm mostly curious about who's paying you to paint Hell.

Nobody will ever paint Hell better than Pieter Brueghel (the elder)

and he probably listened to cutting edge Renaissance music like this..


That's what I suggest you listen to

Doesn't sound very hellish to me. You sure he wasn't a Slayer fan?

Were Slayer around 440 years ago?

If I were Satan, I would loop the lines "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me, papa, paparazzi" from Paparazzi by Lady Gaga 24/7 in Hell. That's worse than the fire, wouldn't you say?

In your case, however, I think most Metal will work, especially Extreme Metal

Extreme metal:



metal:



metalish:



You can't forget some darker classical music either



or really creepy guitar music:


and creepy jazz music:


and movie music:



thanks for killing half an hour. Remind me to make an Imix.
