what are some classical music pieces that you would describe as intense? Like one example I can think of is "Mars, The Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's The Planets. Can anyone think of any other ones?
(please tell me I'm not the only one that listens to classical music...)

Here are some intense classical music that I can think of. You picked a good one but here some others:
Beethoven's Symphonies #5 and #9
Mozart's Jupiter Symphony
Mahler Symphony #9
Brahms Symphony #1
Chopin is very intense & morbid.
Rachmaninoff preludes for Piano, opp.23 and 32
Some of Bach's preludes and Goldberg variations are pretty intense, all that counterpoint and fugue
Many musical scores are very intense like John Williams' Star Wars :-) sounds very similar to the Planets.

I think Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" is intense in a very passionate way. It is easily my favorite piece of classical music.
