Max Reger's big organ works are also a great choice. Something perhaps like the Introduction and Passacaglia in D minor. The Duruflé toccata is dramatic, though "evil" is a stretch. I will also mention Wilhelm Middelschulte; maybe check out his Passacaglia in D minor or another of his works.
Reger’s densely chromatic and restlessly contrapuntal idiom proudly trumpets itself in masterful large-scale pieces like the Fantasia and Fugue on B-A-C-H, Introduction, Variations and Fugue on an Original Theme in F-sharp Minor, the two sonatas, and the formidably compact Symphonic Fantasy and Fugue Op. 57.
Still, Reger’s style, which owes much to hyper-chromatic, post-Wagnerian idioms, has eluded many organists, who have not been furnished with anything like a systematic way into the music and its performance practices.
