This song is very, very dark indeed; especially in light of this being the last song recorded by Ian Curtis before his suicide. His voice has a distant ghostly feel to it and lyrics like ‘’Caressing the marble and stone’’ make it seem like he’s in his tomb. I can’t listen to it often.

Perhaps not really that dark although definetely a dirge! (towards the end you get a glimpse of Florence,Zebedee and chums behind the band which perhaps detracts from the general misery and darkness)

Some traditional folk songs (especially English folk, as covered by Steeleye Span) can be very dark, lyrically if not musically. There's a preponderance of gruesome murder, infanticide, etc, in English folk
(See "Long Lankin" for just one of numerous examples.)
Nick Cave can be VERY dark....
I suppose death metal is the darkest music I've ever heard -- though I can't stomach the stuff.
For prog that I like, some King Crimson is very dark.
Generally, I avoid the dark, and gravitate toward the "light" and the uplifting in art.

Sex Gang Children were a bit spooky, although they might be a bit try hard.. Nine Inch Nails and Tool, of course.. Scott Walker and Nick Drake both had very dark moments in their music Alien Sex Fiend... Throbbing Gristle did play with the dark stuff
