Tool's Aenima, if it can be considered as such


it is also considerably better than Lateralus, although lateralus is good.

Tuzvihar,

I really like that painting you have on your message screen.  That's good. What is that? It looks like pentamethylcyclopentane or something.

It's a fractal:

A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales. The object need not exhibit exactly the same structure at all scales, but the same "type" of structures must appear on all scales. A plot of the quantity on a log-log graph versus scale then gives a straight line, whose slope is said to be the fractal dimension. The prototypical example for a fractal is the length of a coastline measured with different length rulers. The shorter the ruler, the longer the length measured, a paradox known as the coastline paradox. (quoted from MathWorld: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/).

I just found the image on the net by googling the word.

Not musically dark,but thematically bitter and twisted,I recommend "The Shaming Of The True" by Kevin Gilbert. Similar in some ways to "The Wall" or "Wish You Were Here" when they touch on the Music Business,its a savage indictment of the whole industry circus and a must for the cynics amongst us.

Along with most of Art Zoyd's later material

The are many more but that is what I can think of for the moment.

Also Ivan good to see Esoteric getting represented here



 
Beat me to it. Shub Niggurath are about as dark as Zeuhl gets - Incipit Tragadaeia form Les Morts Vont Vite is an extremely disturbing 15 minutes of music.
 
Art Zoyd's Etat D'Urgence (Phase IV) is my favourite of their extended pieces.
 
And from the Krautrock scene Can - Augmn and Halleluwah and Faust - Miss Fortune and Listen to the Fish.

Pink Floyd - Echoes is pretty dark in my opinion. Feel free to correct me again... lol.


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

While not an epic compared to the length of some bands songs, such as Opeth's Black Rose Immortal or whatever, I feel that there is a very dark and dreary feel to the two big Pain of Salvation album closers from The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane.

The Perfect Element closes with a title track that closes a tragic concept album is total tragedy, and Remedy Lane closes with Beyond The Pale, which is actually somewhere near the middle of the concept chronologically, has such a feeling of deep emotional scarring and pain.

They are not very long, but both have a very epic feel to them for sure.

Check them out.

Yanqui U.X.O is amazing... I think it's underrated by the fans! My fave from them.

So, yes, check this out, people. Big smile
