That people shouldn't be recommending metal songs that "sound" cIassical to someone who wants to find cIassical music. In reality, they don't. Anyways, quigly was right about that, and he's right about Brahms too. You'd like his first symphony in particular if you are a fan of dark, heavy music. You may also appreciate Bruckner, and I think you'd love much of Mahler's second symphony.

In general, you will be looking for orchestral music of the 19th century. So look primarily for terms like 'symphony' or 'concerto.' Requiems are also good for that sort of writing - check out the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem, for instance. This will provide you with a starting point from which you can expand your knowledge of the era and start exploring other kinds of music (chamber music or solo piano music, for example) and composers.

Verdi, Franck, Beethoven, Mahler, Brahms, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff... these are some names to get you going.

His symphonies (especially No. 5) and his b-flat minor piano concerto are very bombastic works. I'm not really a fan of his famous works, though. I think he was a MUCH better composer of art song. The only famous work I like a great deal is the sixth symphony.
