Darkest 70's Prog Album

The last month I've heard so much dark Zeuhl & similar stuff that I wish I'd waited till now with making this poll. 

Museo Rosenbach's Zarathustra is not on the list but i think its one of the darkest albums i ever heard,the atmosphere is not dark like in  Universe Zero or like VDG but its very emotional and mellincolic,also Pulsar's Strands Of The Future is very dark and mystic.

when it boils down to that, no album is darker than "Phallus Dei" by Amon Düül 2. the song "Dem Guten, Schönen, Wahren" ("For the Good, the True, the Beautiful") is about a child rapist and murderer. here the German lyrics and their translation:

"Ihr ließet die Kindlein zu mir kommen!
In weißen Kleidern mit Blumen im Haar
hab' ich ihnen die Unschuld genommen,
kann euch nicht sagen, wie schön es war!!

"You let the children come to me!
In white clothes, with flowers in the hair,
I took away their virginity!
Can't tell you how wonderful it was!"

Dienet dem Schönen, dem Guten, dem Wahren!
Peitschet ihn aus, er bebt schon danach!
Lasst ihn die süße Qual erfahren;
er sehnt sich so nach Schande und Schmach!
Ja!

Serve the Beautiful, the Good, the True!
Whip him, he is already quivering for it!
Let him experience the sweet torment;
he so craves for disgrace and ignominy.
Yes!

Wir tanzten zusammen Ringelreih'n
und sangen ein wunderschönes Lied.
Die Kleinste fing an, nach der Mutter zu schrei'n.
Ich durchbohrte sie sanft mit meinem Glied.

We danced ring-around-the rosy together
and sang a beautiful song.
The smallest started crying for her mother.
I gently penetrated her with my member.

Kommet zuhauf und seht ihn euch an!
Das Haupt kahlgeschoren und lächelt noch!
Frisch ans Werk, 's ist gleich getan.
Hängt ihn auf, den geilen Moloch!
Ja!

Get thee all here and behold him!
His head shaved bald and still he smiles!
Let's get to work, 'tis easily done!
Hang him, the lusty moloch!
Yes!

Now that's what I call "dark".

On that list, Comus : First Utterance.

In reality, Necronomicon : Tips Zum Selbstmord.

Thanx, Jeanine! unfortunately I don't have any copies of the CD at this workplace  (I loaded it on computer in my previous work, damn it!) I still haven't loaded it in my mp3 player, either... I don't think it will be worth the try if it's the new version, eh?
