From way back, St Elmo's Fire were KC - insipred. Splitting Ions in the Ether is a good live album.

Guapo - Five Suns. Now there's dark!

 


Wicked

With all these recommendations, I'll need to spend a fair bit of time at my local Neighbourhood house downloading tracks on their broardband internet
Then I will have to make a trip to the city in hope of finding the CD's... That will be the biggest challenge...

Thanks everyone!

The one I think right now are:

- King Crimson- The Power to believe (it`s a dark album from start to end)
- Marillion have his dark moments (songs like "White Russian", "Chelsea Monday)
- Everything from Tool and some moments of Mars Volta.

Bands I like that some be ADDED here with a LOT of darky moments are:

JOY DIVISION
THE CURE
BAUHAUS
JAPAN

I don`t know if you know that bands?

I love Robert Smiths music!!!!!!!!!!

Opeth is dark sounding......

Universe Zero? Interesting. If the "darkest band of all time" of what you say about this band is true, then I can't wait to  look into them!
I got some Van Der Graaf Generator compolation album that had a bunch of thier songs from 1970-75,
it was rather dark sounding, but I just didn't really get into it. I may have enjoyed it more if there were no vocals and the Sax was replaced by an elecric guitar... Please don't flame me for that VDGG comment...

Cool, thanks
I already really dig The Mars Volta and Tool, and I know of The Cure, but I need to look into those other bands...

I'll very well likely get King Crimson - The Power to believe on my next CD buying spree.

I love dark sounding Prog. By this I mean stuff like King Crimson's "Red", Tool's music in general and Yes's "South Side of the Sky".
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!
