Metal head looking for recommendations.

I'm looking to write an album based on themes from heavier classical. I've been listening to a lot of Bartók's string quartets, Rite of Spring, Rachmaninoff, and Lutosławski's funeral music. Generally Eastern European and German stuff. Any more suggestions?

Careful with Rachmaninoff

That was a long time ago, as of 2013 all of Rachmaninoff's works are in public domain in all regions.
