Russian composer Alexander Scriabin's "Mystic Chord" is evil AF. You'll instantly summon demons with this bad boy. 

Best known in his "Prometheus" composition. I think of it as a polychord, or two chords played at once. The original notes are C-F#-Bb-E-A-D but to play it on guitar you have to transpose it to E-Bb-D-G#-C#-F#.  The first chord is an E7b5(no3) and the higher voiced chord is a G#7sus4, or just quartal harmony. Quartal harmony is when you voice a chord using perfect 4th intervals instead of 3rds.
