Wigwam - Dark Album.
Well it's not that dark actually. Being is a lot darker in tone.

Fantomas - all of them, but especially Delirium Cordia. I don't think it can get darker.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Mr. Steve Hackett - I love his dark moods.
In particular check out (duh) DARKTOWN

the correct answer is 'blut aus nord - the work which transforms god'
additionally, morte macabre, burzum, ulver - perdition city, GSYBE - ff00, etc

Genesis - Nursery Cryme, but then most of the albums with Peter were pretty dark.
ELP - BSS was probably their darkest, but I wouldn't call them a dark band.
King Crimson - Most of their albums are dark. The 80's albums less so. The darkest they got was probably Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
VDGG - Pawn Hearts probably, but most of their albums were pretty dark.
Jethro Tull - I honestly can't think of any. Perhaps Aqualung or Benefit. Not sure.
Yes - Same goes for them. They were very positive sounding (hurr). Relayer was the darkest they ever got. And to whoever said The Yes Album, that's probably one of the happiest albums ever recorded.
Pink Floyd - probably Ummagumma. Again, most of their albums were dark.
Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse, but they're all dark.

Very much so. Those guys are really scary. 
Anything by Hammil too. He is the true prince of darkness (screw Ozzy!). King Crimson to. Read my review of In the Court of the Crimson King.

I definately agree with whoever said F#A# (Infinity) and Yanqui U.X.O. Yanqui has to be some of the most mournful ("09-15-00") music I've ever heard. Even the covers aren't happy.

a lot of them, but not all, those brighter are my most favorite

brighter albums are fools mate, ph7, out of water, still life, fireships

Dark albums ehhhh........
Fell in love with Pink Floyds - The Wall due to its darkness, but for the most part, I dont see too much darkness in prog at all. KC are intense in their mood but I have never felt 'dark' or sombre listening to them.
Some tracks off Sigur Ros () are good examples of 'dark', especially track 5...
And what is a discussion about darker music without mentioning the albums 'Spleen and Ideal' (especially the first three tracks) and 'Within the Realm of a Dying Sun' by Dead can Dance. Maybe not prog, but soo 'beautifully dark' (if that makes sense).

I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

Did anyone mention Tool yet? Everything by them has a very dark quality.
As does everything by King Crimson.
Amon Duul has always struck me as kind of "dark," but I haven't heard
much from them so I'm not very familiar with their overall sound. |
"Tanz der Lemminge" is a very dark album indeed. What else can lines like "Pull down your mask, wolf in the sheep-skin; you ate the dwarf with the iron leg. The glass-eye union is missing him yet." be called but dark?
