I adore Dark Prog!!!

BTW,can you recommend me a Really Dark Neo Prog?Related to Clepsydra,maybe...not sure 'bout the "darkness" of the record,but it is very moody...like La Tulipe Noire or Red Sand...or classical Script - one of the darkest album of all time!!!

Does anyone here know LACRIMOSA? Personally I ain't consider them to be prog,but they're are the MOST dark music I ever heard.RIO bands or KC sound just like Pendragon comparing to LACRIMOSA.Highly recommended!!!

I disagree.

What do you disagree with? I wrote a rather long comment to the posting of Bj-1 which you didn't quote.

As dark goes, I'd be sure to list:

The Paranormal Humidor - Somnambulist
Epilog - Anglagard
De-Loused In The Comatorium - The Mars Volta
Diffraction - Priam

Any thing by King Crimson and VDGG/Peter Hammil does it in for me.

Pork Soda by Primus and every album from King Crimson from In the Wake of Poseidon up til Red.  Train of Thought by Dream Theater was great too.

Peter Hammill - "The Fall of the House of Usher". Very hard to get any darker.

I agree that VDGG plays dark music. Yet, I think KC's Red is the darkest album I ever heared.

woa good call I didn't even think of this. Everything Opeth has done has been dark. Plus I have to reiterate the thoughts about Pain of Salvation and also include Dark Suns.

As far as bigger prog bands go... I really couldn't tell you haha.

  I think King Crimsom more than most bands epitomized the idea of 'Dark'.
They seemed to be able to gather inspiration from topics which depict gloom, misery and hopelessness and sometimes pull it off in an almost playfully evil self-deprecating mood.

Yes - The YES Album, Tales From Topographic Oceans

 

The Yes Album a Dark album??? With "I've seen all good people" and "Yours is no disgrace"??

Tales DARK??

I don't see that for me these two albums (together with the rest of the Yes catalogue except maybe  Relayer and then specially for the beginning of the Gates of Delirium, allthough the end "Soon" sooghts that) are happy and very LIGHT (not musically, but opposed to "dark") music.

Dark music to me is like schizophrenia, melancholy, other forms of mental or social disorder.

Dark albums are many

e.g.

Metallica -  Ride the Lightning

VdGG - Still Life

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Riverside - Out of Myself

just to name o few
