I'd second the recommendation of Anathema, but I'd moreso go for the
album "Eternity" which I think is a fair bit better than A Natural
Disaster.

I agree with Eternity. Alternative 4 is another one that really enjoy.

Since someone else has already suggested VDGG and Balletto di
Bronzo I'll go with Osanna - Palepoli. Or maybe Still Life (well, I was
about to add Procol Harum's Home for the morbid lyrics and the
depressing tone of some songs but I'm not sure you would
appreciate it...)

Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming.
Some of the more obvious ones I know: VDGG, Tool, GYBE!, Anathema, Devil Doll...
But thank you for the replies anyway. I shall check out the stuff I haven't heard before.
d.o.k. : Have you heard a Finnish band called Skepticism? It's funeral
doom, but you may be interested in checking them out seeing as you're a
fan of Godspeed.

have seen it mentioned a couple times, you should check this out
Il Balletto Di Bronzo - Ys

oops, almost forgot. There is none darker than Heresie and other early
Univers Zero. The audio equivelant to H. P. Lovecraft.

OPETH: try the darkly gentle 'Damnation' and the black-metallic/acoustic 'Blackwater Park'. 'Deliverance' is dark as hell as is the new one, 'Ghost Reveries', but the key feature about the band is the light/dark contrast of the music that is an aspect of all their recordings. Swedish prog/black metal...another sub-genre! Music without barriers, thats PROG!!!

Mart, the Old Progger is Listening to:
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Roy Harper - Stormcock
Yes - Topographic Oceans
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Steve Hillage - L
Hawkwind - 1st LP

Check out the obscure and indie American Goth/prog band called The Red
Masque. They make Peter Hammill and VDGG sound like child's play.
Halloween, horror, terror, demonic, possessed, psycho, and the undead
are just some of the words that come to mind when listening to their
album called "Feathers for Flesh." With otherworldly dark female
vocals, heavy gothic organ, treated mellotrons, radical dissident
guitars, and a raw prog approach, this band comes off as authentically
terrifying. Not easy to find, not easy to listen to, and not for the
faint of heart. Hard to find but available through their web site.

Alan Parson's Project - Tales Of Mystery And Imagination
Van Der Graaf Generator - H To He Who Am The Only One
Peter Hammill - The Fall Of The House Of Usher
Peter Gabriel - Up (very dark mood at times)
If you can stand metal, try these bands:
Opeth
Godgory (album: Final Journey)
Evergrey
Type O Negative (album: World Coming Down)

TOOL's "Aenima" and "Lateralus" are dark, and listenable inspired by King Crimson.

Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horses are a more acoustic, acid - prog - folk sister band to the mighty Guapo. Very dark and sinister stuff with an East European feel (logically enough for a band from South London).
