Another awesome band: Dark Tranquility.
I could post a dozen different brutal tracks, but instead, I'll post this.
Its quite simple. Turn the volume way up, close your eyes, and listen. This song is best listened to in such a way, allowing you to profoundly appreciate the melody and mood... The rise and subsequent drop after 0:50 is absolutely majestic.
EDIT: DERP. Forgot link.

Wherein Lies The Beast
by ~Maximilian-Aurea
Where is he? A shadow, lost;
Not to the dawning insanity,
but to an unforgiving fragment of pride
In his wake,
All bonds of trust were relinquished;
To be abandoned, fed to the dogs
Wings - of blackened angels,
Corrupt was the sanctity of love
Forgotten was all which once mattered to him,
His illusions sustained by wrath
At his heart - lied envy, and greed;
Reflections of failed maturity,
Unleashed by internal strife
Lost it all,
Everything valued, all that once was;
To grasping claws of vanity,
Forboding his rapid descent
Crawl through the trials of reality,
Seethe at the loss of your world
Look beyond the gaze - of caged humanity,
and shut close every rotting door
See him now,
Cloaked - in sorrow and pain,
Brought by none other than himself
Wallow at,
the sight - of fools' self-pity;
Towards the fleeting,
dark dreams undoubtedly denied
Dance - through crumbling corridors,
Riddled - with memories of death
Look upon the face of long-gone memories,
Their forlorn remnants putrefact
This demon,
who gazes intently at our hearts,
Descending from darkness apparent,
To feed upon his windblown lies
Lost is she,
The angel he once enslaved;
Forced to do his bidding,
'Til she'd retire - to an early grave
Grip the fleeting hopes,
that echo through your soul
Forgotten in obsoletion,
Compassion - a figment of the past
Embrace - your haven of loathing
Become - the essence of deceit
Dream - of untainted innocence
Grimace at the prospect of demise
Forged from your heart yet so adamant,
Tempered in the flames of your hate;
Imbued with the power of thrice-told lies,
Where sleeps your upheld ego now?
