OPETH: try the darkly gentle 'Damnation' and the black-metallic/acoustic 'Blackwater Park'. 'Deliverance' is dark as hell as is the new one, 'Ghost Reveries', but the key feature about the band is the light/dark contrast of the music that is an aspect of all their recordings. Swedish prog/black metal...another sub-genre! Music without barriers, thats PROG!!!

oops, almost forgot. There is none darker than Heresie and other early
Univers Zero. The audio equivelant to H. P. Lovecraft.

Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming. 
Some of the more obvious ones I know: VDGG, Tool, GYBE!, Anathema, Devil Doll...
But thank you for the replies anyway. I shall check out the stuff I haven't heard before.
d.o.k. : Have you heard a Finnish band called Skepticism? It's funeral
doom, but you may be interested in checking them out seeing as you're a
fan of Godspeed.

have seen it mentioned a couple times, you should check this out
Il Balletto Di Bronzo - Ys

When you're lost it's so relentless

Since someone else has already suggested VDGG and Balletto di
Bronzo I'll go with Osanna - Palepoli. Or maybe Still Life (well, I was
about to add Procol Harum's Home for the morbid lyrics and the
depressing tone of some songs but I'm not sure you would
appreciate it...)

Improvement makes straight roads, but the crooked roads without improvement, are roads of genius.

I'd second the recommendation of Anathema, but I'd moreso go for the album "Eternity" which I think is a fair bit better than A Natural Disaster.

I agree with Eternity. Alternative 4 is another one that really enjoy.

The two Gnidrolog albums surely deserve a mention here.
Also, Cervello

Most post-rock bands (primarily Godspeed You Black Emperor, A Silver
Mt. Zion and Mogwai). If you don't mind some heavier moments, try
Peccatum's Lost in Reverie.
