THE WALL
Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
ringed by ants and musing over man.

Morte Macabre - dark, but rather primitive and simple - horror movies, what can you expect

Thork "Weila" - dark, complex, beautiful, brilliant, but very dark

Godspeed you! black emperor's F#A#infinity is a very dark album and most of it is thanks to the naration but their darkest and menacing album is Yanqui U.x.o.

I have seen lots of reviews where they say "This is the bands dark or black album"

In the case of Kansas, it was Masque with songs like Child of Innocence (When listening to this one thinks of the Grim Reaper) and The Pinnacle. With Dream Theater it was Train of Thought with disturbing songs like Honour Thy Father and In the name of God. Dark as in serious and disturbing to the listener.

What would you say are some of the dark albums  for other big progressive bands?
