Some of the best 'dark' progressive music I've ever heard and heartily
recommend:

Somnambulist - The Paranormal Humidor

Somnambulist - Somnambulist

Anglagard - Epilog

Anglagard - Hybris

5uu's - Crisis in Clay

5uu's - Hunger's Teeth

Citizen Cain - Playing Dead

Citizen Cain - Somewhere But Yesterday

And if you consider Yes' Southside of the Sky 'dark,' then their Relayer
album should be right up your alley. It's definitely the darkest of all Yes'
albums.

I would like some recommendations on this particular sounding Prog.
Oh, and I'm not really interested in Prog Metal, even though it is dark sounding alot of the time.

Thank you!

Anekdoten - vemod

I second Univers Zero.

I find Henry Cow and the Art Bears quite dark as well.

I've never thought of VdGG as being dark though, just melancholic.

VDGG has some really good dark stuff. Their overall sound IMO is dark.
Check them out.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Do you have the two albums that precede Red?  If not, get those.  They have their "dark" moments.

If you like Japan, you should also try David Sylvian's solo albums, especially Secrets Of The Beehive.

Osanna (Palepoli) are a cross between VDGG and King Crimson,
which means lots of sax and guitar. I'd also recommend High
Tide (if you like Black Sabbath+Hawkwind+violin) and Island, the
only song I've listened to so far is amazing. And of course give zeuhl
a chance, maybe Magma and Shub Niggurath

I guess these are dark enough and worth to listen:

AFTER CRYING (Hungary) - any album

PLJ BAND "Armageddon" (Greece)

IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO "Ys".

Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour)
