"Ex: Anton Lundin Pettersson - Dragula (Hot rod Herman remix)"
This was posted on one of Pettersson's accounts beforehand.

Also, wasn't there a claim pertaining to Nord-Ost or Beslan where Russian officials said Nine Inch Nails was played so the hostage-takers could stay up? I recall hearing about this before but can't find a source.

I thought Anton played When Evil Speaks by Suicide Commando.

Time to change it.

No, I'm pretty sure he played Dragula.

I got the Rammstein source from The Independent’s article about the hostage-takers being on drugs.

Imagine a middle aged man dancing to Thriller being the last thing you see.

Stephan Balliet played Egg White - Alek Minassian. He also played some anime song and other things but I can't seem to find the list at the moment.
Also, not quite what you were looking for but the song being played when the Las Vegas shooting began was Jason Aldean - When She Says Baby.

The anime song was Mousou Express, the guy also made a playlist of songs to play during the attack and it had 12 songs.

Anders Breivik - ( Bit off the point of the topic here) He considered the song the awakening by Helene Boksle from the age of Conan video game soundtrack. As "a song worthy of playing during a martyrdom operation" even giving a description of imaging the song playing during his final stand.

Grant Acord - (West Albany school attack plot 2013) Off topic once more but in his notes Acord planned to approach his school with Airport stalk blasting from his car. (Airport stalk being the music used in the notorious no Russian mission from call of duty modern warfare 2 where the player would take part in the massacre of civilians in an airport.)

Salvador Ramos apparently was playing 'sad music' during the Uvalde shooting.

Witnesses reported that he played "some sort of creepy halloween music" and he liked a lot of Suicide Commando music so I would have thought that song was more "When evil speaks", "Hate me" or "Feeding my inner hate". It is also possible that he played several.

Pretty sure it was confirmed by some police investigation that he was playing Dragula (the remix) on repeat through his earbuds?

Sloop John B and Pokemon?
Why these choices of music in particular according to you? Is this a way for him to recall memories before his attack or something else?

nik cruz played salad days

Joseph Edward Gallegos who murdered 3 roommates and then took 4 women hostage in 1996 heard a rap song on loop.

The song "The crying Game", apparently was planned, and according to the police, it could have influenced him.

The techno music was becoming insane by infected mushroom.I don't think Commander Breivik listened to anything.

Not during the shooting. Going off of his search history, I think one of the last songs he listened to before it was “Kill Everybody,” by Skrillex. Honestly pretty funny.

The morning of the massacre he just looked at porn and wandered around Parkland.

I’m pretty sure he danced to “Thriller” in the car as he drove around the area, not during the shooting. He was very angry and unamused during the massacre. Definitely wasn’t dancing. And he wasn’t listening to music.

Micah Xavier Johnson sang "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner during his standoff with the police. I assume it was the Tina Turner version because his motive for the shooting was protesting against police brutality against black people, but, the CCR version of the song has the same lyrics, so it doesn't matter all that much.
