In direct answer to your question, someone or something that corrupts would be a "corrupter" (or "corruptor"). This is a real word that you'll find in the dictionary.

However, in English this kind of thing tends to be expressed with an adjective "(a corrupting influence"), rather than as a noun. (I wonder if the thinking is that the song isn't the corrupter, the person who wrote the song is.) Here are some likely candidates:

subversive (like Bt argues)
This is a good one. It has more the sense of inciting political rebellion than causing moral corruption, though.
corrupting
Obviously. It's probably the simplest way to express what you want.
perverting
Essentially synonymous with "corrupting." If you don't like "corrupter," how about "perverter"?
seductive
As in "Seduction of the Innocents". Has the sense of tempting or luring someone into something, the wrongness of which is implied. However, the main use is to seduce romantically or sexually.
seditious
Like "subversive," this means inciting rebellion. It has an even more sinister tone to it.
perfidious
Means treacherous. Strongly negative.

Thank you everyone...

I was off line for a couple of days now.

I just saw all this. Again thank you.

Well when I'm done writting the piece, that's the end of August,  I'll post it to the critics lounge (the orchestral score in pdf format). When I have a recording (maybe never, but I may be lucky) I'll post that too, so you all now what I was trying to do.

Cheers everyone. ;D

Ok.

I don't know if anyone is interested in this, but since I promised to do so here it is:

Link:http://rapidshare.de/files/4880826/Perniciosus.mp3.html
After clicking, you have to choose FREE on the bottom of the page.

It's 8 Mb (BIG!) and 8'40" duration.

Piano Solo. I used GigaPiano in Cubase SX.

The Title, after all your help, and THANK YOU ! :o is: "Perniciosus" (From the Latin for Pernicious).

So that's it. Every critic good or bad, please do so.

Beware though, it is a bit on the difficult side, it does remind a little bit of jazz, maybe, but generally it is contemporary (not so much, but...) piano music. "Clasical". The first 4 minutes are slow and the other 4 and a half are fast. That's all.

I just posted it here instead of the critics lounge, because of the thread...
