As a DM I have always added a bit of spice to important encounters by tossing a bit of Background Music into my encounters, and I always have a go to list for certain monsters or types of monsters. However my list is starting to get a bit stale (and predictable) and I was interested to see what the rest of the Paizo community use for their encounter music, either for specific bosses or general creatures.
For Example
Vampire Bosses: Van Helsing Sondtrack
Anything from Leng: Prince of Persia, Warrior Within
Taldorians: Anything posh and classical
Orcs: Usually any of the Howard Shore LOTR or Hobbit soundtracks, but occasionally the God of War soundtracks for brutal orcs.
Demons & Devils: Hanz Zimmer's Angels and Demons and DiVinci Code
Baphomet: Avenged Sevenfold's Sheppard of Fire
King Ivoretti: Avenged Sevenfold's Hail to the King
Kingmaker Adventure Path: Game of Thrones Soundtrack
Mythic: Two Steps from Hell
Last Stands:Requiem for a Dream
Firefly OST: Reavers
If you have an extended version or on infinite loop, it can be very effective to build tension.

Thread Necromancy time!
Assuming that Pathfinder 2nd Edition Remastered doesn't hose the idea of Derghodaemons being the incarnation of death by insanity, I have found the perfect soundtrack for them. And the music was even written to warn of the end of humanity . . . .

During a lovecraftian campaign I once put Cradle of Filth's Iä Iä, Cthulhu fhtagn on very low, unbeknownst to the players and then slowly from my phone amped the volume up.
