Swans. Early Swans - “Big Strong Boss”-era Swans. “Raping A Slave”-era Swans.
Only Foetus and The Birthday Party come close. Michael Gira had…issues.

Also “Anarchy in the UK” and “Problems”. Goes nicely with some early Clash, notably “White Riot” and “I Fought the Law”.

Husker Du’s Metal Circus EP. In spite of the name, it’s not metal. It will however peel the paint off your walls.
Slow Riot for a New Zero Kanada by Godspeed You Black Emperor.
New Day Rising by the same is the happiest angry song ever made.
I always liked Burn - The Cure… but that isn’t too hard core so here you go bud:
Metallica - Breadfan It is such a fun song to fuck up stuff too.
That and maybe Alice in Chains - Angry Chair.
I came in here to post that. (Didn’t that song start a riot at new Woodstock?)
Doesn’t the faux-dramatic “was that fin on your back part of the deal? …SHARK!” send you into giggles and ruin the whole anger buzz thing, though?
For my contributions: The Geto Boys’ self-titled album is my standard go to for rage these days. The Haunted are another good choice (they’ve got a song called ‘hate song,’ after all!). Slayer, but I’ve gotta recommend their genre-defining album Reign In Blood. Sepultura’s Chaos AD and Roots albums are also good choices.
Tangential–it doesn’t strike me as especially angry–but if you’d care to hear how it’s supposed to be done, see if you can find Lingua Mortis by the German act Rage (but not against the Machine).
