New to dubstep, looking for something kinda specific.

Hey everybody, I'm new here so sorry if I ask any dumb questions. I never really got into dubstep, but I'd like to. The main reason is because of Muse's Unsustainable.
I was wondering if anybody knew of any dubstep similar to Unsustainable? I like that it's made with actual guitar, bass and drums and not just samples. Nothing against sampling, just not my cup of tea.
Vocals are another thing I'd like to see in dubstep. I mean a male singer, nothing sexist but I've heard lots of dubstep with female singers and they sound like Enya to me and I don't like it much.
I'm looking for dubstep that's faster paced (I'm a life long metalhead). Real instruments and a singer would be nice too. I've heard the word djent tossed around. This sounds kind like what I'm looking for, kinda metal-dubstep.
I'm not really a fan of the slow melodic dubstep, I want something to get me amped up.

Give the guy a break, he seems like he's honest in learning more about Dubstep. OP you should look into some drumstep, it's faster paced. The great thing about music is there's something for everyone.

I know you're new to this, but I'm into metal as well and the music like that that does exist is really cheesy for the most part. Just taking the worst of dubstep and mixing it with the worst of metal.
Justin K Broadrick from Godflesh has been making a dubstep/metal hybrid lately, dunno if he samples or not. I think under the name JK Flesh. Sounds like you'd imagine a dubstep Godflesh hybrid to sound like.
This is a drum n bass tune on a metal tip:
You're just gunna have to get over your dislike of sampling.

As a fellow metal guy too, I think this OP is honestly means just darker dubstep. I don't think he actually means " hey guys I want my dubstep to have metal riffs in it." I could be wrong, but I think he'd like some aggressive, dark dubstep.
edit: btw godflesh owns

By "sampling" do you mean synthesized sounds?

speaking of JK FLESH
this is brutal and by far the best track he's done recently as JK Flesh (almost up to GREYMACHINE standards)

Deathstep, Brostep, Moombacore, Drumstep, or maybe Liquid Dubstep if you want vocals.

The problem with what you're asking is that a lot of the time it isn't really dubstep if it's played by a full band, it's just metal/rock/pop with some obnoxious wobbles thrown in for the sake of bandwagon-jumping. The only dubstep band I really rate (and I think most people here would agree) is Submotion Orchestra, and the majority of their music is very laid-back and soulful. A few of the remixes of their tunes are a bit more aggy, but then it's not really the full band anymore:
I'll give you a few examples of stuff that's a bit more aggressive, but there's only a few 'real' instruments here. If you're actually interested in dubstep though, you're gonna have to get over that whole idea.
There's some guitar in this:
Aaaaaaand fuck it, here's some more Reso:
Also, I hate to recommend this, because just generally fuck this album, but you'll probably dig the latest bandwagon-jumping travesty from Korn:

Just get over the sampling part and grab some Distance 12s.

I haven't checked out everything yet, you guys gave me many suggestions. I kinda dig that bandwagon-jumping travesty by Korn, I'd probably like a different singer more. I'm looking for something with a semblance of verses, and a chorus would be okay with me. Vocals would be really fantastic. Submotion Orchestra is almost exactly what I don't want, no offense. Is there any dubstep with vocals closer to industrial music? I can dig that.
I'm not a big fan of sampling, but I'm always open to new things. I'll give anything a shot really.

There's a problem with the way you're looking at it. 95% of what you're talking about isn't sampling, it's synthesis. As in, the producer made those sounds from scratch using a synthesizer, and in many cases played the notation on a keyboard. Those Reso tunes I posted above are a perfect example of incredible sound design, very little of that is sampled from other sources. That's just hours of painstaking work with synthesizers.

Perfect example of industrial dubstep is Cloaks, but no vocals.
