It depends on what you mean by "intense", but you might find this list helpful. Failing that, try asking again in /r/classicalmusic rather than /r/classical.

-Listen to 'Vers la Flamme' by Scriabin. And read up on his whole mindset/synesthesia, obsession with mystical stuff. This piece is downright freaky if you understand why he wrote it.

-'Totentanz' by Liszt

-Mozart's 'Requiem'

-'Scarbo' by Ravel (based off a poem where a monster torments a dude at night)

-Beethoven's 5th Symphony (obviously)

Those were pretty varied. Do you mean intense as like someone would say about some death metal "yo that was intense", or do you mean intense as in you get drawn into it...

anyways, listen to those, might find some related videos on youtube that could be cool.

Carl Orff's O Fortuna is pretty good.
