totally agree with you there sarge I reckon this style even now beats the pants off most hardstyle
I hope Producers start to make more of this even if its an old formula I can only realy name like these tracks that have used it to its full effect

warmduschers - destinys path -kleine bassdrum
mauro picotto - krach - taub
A*S*Y*S - Head cracker - Acid nightmare

and all these are dark as f**k hopefully were gonna here alot more fingers crossed
