Marillion's second album Fugazi is pretty dark and brooding, especially 'She Chameleon'. I highly recommend this track to hear Marillion at their darkest. Sounds like a dissonant funeral dirge concerning depravity and whores... enjoy!

King Crimsons Larks Tongues in Aspic is pretty eerie. It's music for nutters- believe me.

I think Magma were meant to be fairly dark.  any band who dress all in black with invertedtantra symbols and give mock hitler speeches in between drum solos cannot be too nice

I also find the third ear band quite dark, if you can stomach their music

SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM!!!!!  Darkest thing ever!!!! lots of off time signatures and a very unique sound.  it doesnt get darker than this. they have two albums i recommend them both. and if you get a chance to see them live, you are in for one hell of a show

The lyrics can contribute a fair bit too, but the music gives off this mood the most...


tremulant, are you synesthetic?  My girlfriend is, and music makes her literally see different colors...  I was sad to see she didn't see KC's Red as red.   If you are, well...  not everyone sees the same sets of colors, and they don't all see them for the same things.  However...  based on what you call dark...  I'd recommend Anglagard's first album, Indukti, Wobbler, and Anekdoten, as well as the first Proto-Kaw disc.

New to this site...been a progressive rock fan since the beginning of time...like to see people mixing it up through the decades - Van der Graaf/GSYBE/Genesis/Japan/Sylvian...one of my favourite albums of all time is the one-off, self-titled by INDIAN SUMMER...for me, it's perfect from start-to-finish dark, jazzy progressive rock...in my top five...search out the original vinyl on RCA NEON or the cd on REPERTOIRE... I've had the gatefold vinyl since the early 70's...to add to the reviews on the site, I think they sound like a much darker Traffic. PEACE.

No I'm not synesthetic, but I find that highly amusing... It's my own imagination that makes me see these colours inside my head. I don't know... It's hard to explain...
