We're in the business of extending man's senses.
This isn't necessarily a classical question, but more of an orchestral music question, since I'm not sure if the kind of piece I'm looking for is to be found in classical classical.

I'm trying to find some sort of marching music with a steady cadence. I've listened to a variety of marches, but every single one seems to be much more elaborate, major-key, and bright and happy and toodly, which is exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for. I want to find a dark, violent classical/orchestral piece that sounds like some sort of military force could actually march to it.

I'm a big fan of Holst's Mars, and it feels like it's sort of related to what I'm looking for, but I don't know where to continue my search.
