Slint's Spiderland hasn't been recommended yet? It takes King Crimson's mid-1970s heavy power trio line-up and adapts it to a vaguely gothy post-punk/1980s indie rock paradigm. Russian Circles' sound is a more metallic take on that style I described, their heaviest album being Empros.

First of all, by the old bigs, imo the champions are King Crimson (btw my fav one of British prog vets).
I'd like to recommend these contemporary prog bands La Piramide di Sanque, Goldbug, Psicomagia & Gravitsapa.

Be careful with Anathema as they 'found the light' on their last 3 albums. A Fine Day To Exit and Judgement of the older albums are worth checking out though.

A big yay for Discipline, Anathema and Marillion (although I've only heard 2 albums by them)! Speaking about Opeth, instead, I have to admit that I don't like them. I've listened to their first 4 albums some time ago but they didn't clicked with me for whatever reason. All the other bands I'll have to check out.

Oh yeah I forgot that thing existed, that's a good one! although they kinda lose me at the 'gastric juices' bit I think I'm going to listen to it now (if I can find it)

OH MAN!!!!!!!
You want dark prog and you love VDGG???? Island- Pictures It's a 1977 album. You'll have to search the year or you'll just get pictures of islands. This will blow you away. Holy cow. This album is one of my favorites and it is similar to VDGG

As you'd expect, there's a lot under metal thats dark (but not as much as some would like to believe, there's a difference between dark and heavy).
Ihsahn- After, Erimita Anathema- The Silent Enigma Opeth- Blackwater Park Wolves in the Throne Room- Celestial Lineage Marillion- any of the first 4 albums In the Woods... Strange in Stereo |

Besides the bands suggested by the previous posters (all excellent choices), I'd mention two of the bands I saw at the Orion Studios on November 8: Alec K Redfearn and the Eyesores and Discipline. The former hail from Providence, HP Lovecraft's hometown - you can't get any darker than that
 ! Discipline, on the other hand, even though not as Avant-leaning in musical terms, are very dark lyrically, and very intense both on CD and on stage. |

Oh, Darktown! I used to listen to that, then it kind of got lost. I should revisit that.
Well, that sounds both reassuring and creepy. I'm going to check 'em out as soon as I can. In the meantime I listened to the first album by Devil Doll and it's been a blast! I had never bothered with italian bands, but it turns out it's been my loss all this time  Edited by 'PiphanyRambler - November 17 2014 at 16:49 |

That's good to know, as I think that the Porcupine Tree albums I heard (Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun) lacked that dark and heavy edge I looked for (I've heard some of Fear of a Blank Planet though, and that's another story).

Steven Wilson's debut solo album (Insurgentes) is considerably darker than anything he did with Porcupine Tree imo so I would put that forward also.

Thank you for all these suggestions, guys! I'll probably have to spend a month listening to them all
 .That makes me happy, of course. And Magma is great indeed (I know their first album and I love it)! |

I'm sure i'll post more later, but immediately i thought of Anekdoten. They should do the trick for you.

Wow, that was a quick reply! I'm definitely going to check these bands out. Univers Zero is good indeed, I've only listened to their first album so far, so I'm sure I'll like Heresie too.
