Stuff by Shintaro Kago, he lies somewhere on the guro/horror spectrum.

Suehiro Maruo's The Laughing Vampire. It's on the guro side as well but his artwork is just incredible.

In somewhat different veins, Narutaru and Soil.

If we're expanding this a little to include things that edge on guro, Tsutomu Nihei's work (Biomega, BLAME, and my favorite, Knights of Sidonia) deserve inclusion.

Also -

Dorohedoro: a man with the head of a crocodile, magic that mostly seems to twist and pervert its users, and a perfectly sketchy art style.

Devilman: Go Nagai don't give a fuck.

Kazuo Umezu's Drifting Classroom. Very intense and horrifying on a couple of different levels.
