No one mentioned Opeth... Still life or Ghost Reveries... Actually anything, even Damnation  Songs like the Moor or The Grand Conjuration are dark and evil as hell!!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!!

There are many... Both Mars Volta's albums, KC's "Starless and Bible Black", High Tide's "Sea Shanties", Rush's "Roll the Bones", Jethro Tull's "A Passion Play" and, of course, PF's "Animals" and "The Wall".

They are also being reffered as 'Gothic'. Anyways, I did not like them as I don't know the langauge and the music didn't leave my mouth wide open.
I don't think IQ are dark, sure, they indeed have a dark undertone, but still not developed enough to be called 'dark' (imho).
Evergrey, Univers Zero (a strange and twisted darkness), KC (especially their ballads) and so on many bands...
