Looking for "R-rated", gritty, gorey high fantasy books

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is a fine example of grimdark high fantasy. It isn't overflowing with sex scenes, but carnal relationships are definitely in play.
And it definitely ticks the box for "fucking brutal."
I'm no stranger to dark fantasy but reading best served cold even I was like "God damn, he's going there too?" So that's a +1 from me
I loved this and the other trilogy of his that I’ve read, brutal and dark certainly, but his character writing is mint. I need to read more of his stuff!
I don't like what he does with his characters. Poor characters of Joe Abercrombie's world!
I'll add it to the list! Thank you!
