Default Wanted: Crunchy, sinister Dubstep songs

I want to find more purely instrumental, non-dance songs like Eskamon's "Fine Objects": abstract, non-repetitive, crunchy, gritty, menacing, aggressive, solid, and raw, like you're smashing something to smithereens with a large club. Chaotic. I know I don't want a repetitive dance beat or vocals in my ideal dubstep songs.

I've listened through songs in the Dubstep thread, thanks to sidewinder's suggestion, and some more songs by Eskamon (and Amon Tobin and Eskmo), and Cris Clark but I haven't found many songs that have the satisfying heavy, sinister feel I'm searching for, which I especially hear beginning around 0:23 and 1:30 in "Fine Objects."

As another example of what I want (and don't want), I like the menacing sound in "Dark Matter" by Sinister Beats, though I wish it had more bass and I could do without the frilly, repetitive, insipid pitter-pat of rapid drumming. And I like the heavy, sinister feeling of "Venom" (which dieselboy listed in the non-dance electronica thread) except I dislike the woman's voice in the beginning and the drumming gets repetitive, as does the whole song.

Feed me.
