If you enjoy this kind of music, you'll like Shostakovitch. His 11th Symphony has this same style of music, and I've always felt like I was watching Aliens while listening to it. The two minutes in the following clip have the same build-up, rhythm, and style as the Bishop's Countdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVL3vtZ-z6g&feature=youtu.be...

Yeah, Shostakovich was brilliant.

The ending of this piece reminds me of the ending of Symphony no 4 - with a quiet delicate bell sound, after starting with a grotesque, whacky march.

(B) ending: https://youtu.be/I7U2WzC47sQ?t=3488

How did he go from A to B?
