What is the work?
Putryphemus is a Brutal Death Metal band situated in Cochabamba, Cochabamba, that uses elements of cosmic horror in their songs. Their album Abominations from Beyond is about the different Lovecraftian gods entering our dimension through the open gates.
Who is the candidate? What has he done?
Y'golonac is a Great Old One, the God of Depravity and Perversion. Unlike the rest of his fellow Great Old Ones but much like the messenger of the Outer Gods Nyarlathotep, Y'golonac has the full understanding of humans and their morality. Possessing the ability to comprehend any and all perversions that sapient beings can imagine, Y'golonac was locked away behind a brick wall in an undisclosed region but dreams of escaping it so he could rape and kill as much as he wanted.
In the song, Y'golonac is served by blind creatures of darkness who gets summoned to the earthly realm by a group of monks. From there, Y'golonac devours several of his summoners and takes possession of their bodies manifesting as a bloated, headless man with mouths in the palms of his hands. Freed, the song concludes with Y'golonac readying the Earth for the arrival of Shub-Niggurath.
Freudian Excuse? Mitigating factors?
It's Y'golonac.
Heinous standard
The usual. Mass murder and consuming those who summon him. Assists the other gods in bringing about the end of mankind and unlike his more mindless brethren adds his own special touches to it.
Conclusion
Leaning towards a "yes."
