That's the Knight Bus sequence from the third Harry Potter flick. It's some of the coolest scoring I've ever heard! Really, really, really nice writing by John Williams and very action-packed.

Thomas Ades lets it all fly. Do yourself a favor, curl up, and listen to all of Asyla. It's a fantastic piece and I find it very special.

I'm glasses.
Not exactly brutal, but Beethoven's famous "Great Fugue" for string quartet has a pretty aggressive rhythm in a lot of parts along with some unusual dissonance for the time:
Of course, this a special case, as the more you listen to this the less dissonant and the more musical it sounds, so it's more about unfamiliarity at first, but still, at parts it does take on a march-like quality.
tl;dr, it doesn't really fit but i look for any excuse to pimp this track because i love it to death
Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.
Bumping for some more Xenakis.
Ich bin nicht schuld! 's ist Gottes Plan!
Dammit, ABNDT beat me to the Totentanz. Personally, I prefer this version
.
I don't think I have to mention Richard Wagner... still, enjoy the Götterdämmerung finale:
Also, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (you know, the one used in the V For Vendetta film) and Slavonic March. And then there's Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto, which is not "brutal" so much as... "disturbing". Music for tortured souls - the atmosphere is almost Doors-like.

Yes. Allow me to provide some.

That sucks. I know that cuts down on spam, but it's annoying and drives away new users.
I'd post Seventy Cops by Steroid Maximus, but it's not on Youtube.
By the way, these are the lyrics:
"More criminal than Barabbas
Horned like the evil angels
What Beelzebub are you down there
Fed on garbage and dirt
We shall not come to your sabbaths
Stinking fish of Salonika
Long chain of fearful nights
Of eyes gouged out with pikes
Your mother farted in a funk
And you were born of her colic
Executioner of Podolia, Lover
Of wounds and ulcers and scabs
Snout of a pig arse of a mare
Hold on to all your riches
To pay for your medication"
anything by mussorgsky? and maybe berio's sinfonia?
so much to do, and yet... here, it feels like one cannot do anything but lie here and sleep forever.

Shostakovich was so metal.
Ah, Shostakovich. The list of brutal and/or sarcastic pieces he wrote is a long one - particularly scherzo movements from symphonies, concerti, or chamber works.
For example, his Symphony No.1, second movement.
Or the Cello Sonata, second movement.
Perhaps his Symphony No.5, second movement.
Much of his Symphony No.6, second movement.
And also the Piano Quintet, third movement.
Must mention his Symphony No.8, third movement.
Then there's the Piano Trio No.2, second movement.
Ooh, and then his Symphony No.9, third movement.
A classic: his String Quartet No.3, third movement.
And also his Violin Concerto No.1, second movement.
The very harshest: Symphony No.10, second movement.
There's always String Quartet No.8, second movement.
Oh, and String Quartet No.9, fifth movement.
Can't forget String Quartet No.10, second movement.
And finally, Violin Sonata, second movement.
Well, you get the idea. Yes, some of those are harsher than others, but I'm always impressed by how Shosty was able to let his dark side run loose in a country where you were expected to write happy music to glorify Mother Russia and uplift the spirit of The People.

'It's gonna rain!'
Béla Bartók's ballet The Miraculous Mandarin.
Heavily influenced by The Rite of Spring, obviously—it also caused a riot at its premiere.
Some stuff by Xenakis.
I just started listening to Ruggles today. Good stuff.
