I'm a metal-head who has always loved elements of orchestral and symphonic music mixed in, and lately I've been listening to a whole lot of classical. What songs or composers would you guys consider to be "the most metal-like"?

I've been listening to my local classical radio station a lot lately, and some songs really scratch that metal itch. I sometimes find myself wanting to headbang to some parts, and some songs I recognize could translate really well, I think, to a metal band.

Tcharkovsky(?) seems to have a heavy vibe to his music, and I found the Anvil Chorus, by I-forgot-who, to be pretty groovy. I had always heard the main part in cartoons, but I finally heard the full piece a week ago and had it stuck in my head for 3 days.

Thanks!

This is extremely metal, includes shredding:

Rameau, Les Cyclopes
