The Evil Lord X-Death

"The Evil Lord X-Death" , also known as "The Evil Lord Exdeath", is the theme of Exdeath, the antagonist of Final Fantasy V. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
It begins with a theme similar to the one from the famous murder scene of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and contains beats from "Battle 2", the main boss theme. Throughout the theme, measures can be heard from "Ring of Bomb" from Final Fantasy IV compounded by dramatic strings that culminates the suspense.
