I have seen lots of reviews where they say "This is the bands dark or black album" In the case of Kansas, it was Masque with songs like Child of Innocence (When listening to this one thinks of the Grim Reaper) and The Pinnacle. With Dream Theater it was Train of Thought with disturbing songs like Honour Thy Father and In the name of God. Dark as in serious and disturbing to the listener. What would you say are some of the dark albums for other big progressive bands? |

The Yes Album a Dark album??? With "I've seen all good people" and "Yours is no disgrace"?? Tales DARK?? I don't see that for me these two albums (together with the rest of the Yes catalogue except maybe Relayer and then specially for the beginning of the Gates of Delirium, allthough the end "Soon" sooghts that) are happy and very LIGHT (not musically, but opposed to "dark") music. Dark music to me is like schizophrenia, melancholy, other forms of mental or social disorder. Dark albums are many e.g. Metallica - Ride the Lightning VdGG - Still Life Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Riverside - Out of Myself just to name o few

I think King Crimsom more than most bands epitomized the idea of 'Dark'. They seemed to be able to gather inspiration from topics which depict gloom, misery and hopelessness and sometimes pull it off in an almost playfully evil self-deprecating mood. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

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!!! |

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...

Dark, melancholic prog is cool. Example of some: Pink Floyd - Animals & The Wall King Crimson - Red, Islands & The Power to Believe VDGG - Pawn Hearts Rush - Roll the Bones CMX - Aion Godspeed You! Black Emperor - f#a#infinity & Yanqui U.X.O. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son I think King Crimson and VDGG are the darkest prog bands. Some of their songs are very depressing, yet still very good. It's nice to now and then listen to this "dark stuff". Of course not to forget GY!BE, which also has many depressing pieces. So slow, so dark... ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Phoenix_/?chartstyle=RecordArmMonochrome">

A Passion Play seems darker than other Tull records to me... Trespass seems to me to be by far the darkest Genesis albums. Pink Floyd- Animals, the Wall (which I hate, but it's dark) And of course, In the Court of the Crimson King- only I talk to the wind has a glimmer of not-darkness. Great album, makes me think of dungeons and glades and such at night time. And I was thinking, that's why prog is so great: the songs mean something on their own, but they also are so moving that they evoke other images in your head. |

Rush's darkest albums: 2112, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Vapor Trails
Did anyone mention Tool yet? Everything by them has a very dark quality. As does everything by King Crimson. Amon Duul has always struck me as kind of "dark," but I haven't heard much from them so I'm not very familiar with their overall sound. |

"Tanz der Lemminge" is a very dark album indeed. What else can lines like "Pull down your mask, wolf in the sheep-skin; you ate the dwarf with the iron leg. The glass-eye union is missing him yet." be called but dark? ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Dark albums ehhhh........ Fell in love with Pink Floyds - The Wall due to its darkness, but for the most part, I dont see too much darkness in prog at all. KC are intense in their mood but I have never felt 'dark' or sombre listening to them. Some tracks off Sigur Ros () are good examples of 'dark', especially track 5... And what is a discussion about darker music without mentioning the albums 'Spleen and Ideal' (especially the first three tracks) and 'Within the Realm of a Dying Sun' by Dead can Dance. Maybe not prog, but soo 'beautifully dark' (if that makes sense). ------------- I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long. |

Genesis - Nursery Cryme, but then most of the albums with Peter were pretty dark. ELP - BSS was probably their darkest, but I wouldn't call them a dark band. King Crimson - Most of their albums are dark. The 80's albums less so. The darkest they got was probably Larks' Tongues in Aspic. VDGG - Pawn Hearts probably, but most of their albums were pretty dark. Jethro Tull - I honestly can't think of any. Perhaps Aqualung or Benefit. Not sure. Yes - Same goes for them. They were very positive sounding (hurr). Relayer was the darkest they ever got. And to whoever said The Yes Album, that's probably one of the happiest albums ever recorded. Pink Floyd - probably Ummagumma. Again, most of their albums were dark. Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse, but they're all dark.

I really don't understand very well the people here...
"Trespass" and "Nursery Crime" are dark album? "Close to the Edge"? "Roll the Bones"? Sorry, but I disagree with a lot of people here... Some really dark prog albums: Everything of Devil Doll. Maybe the darkest prog band ever... Green Carnation "Light of Day, Day of Darkness". One of the most dark and depressing albums I've heard... Lacrimosa. This band is really dark, nor Pink Floyd and Yes... The prog albums by Death, like "Human" or "Individual Thought Patterns". Some albums of After Crying are really dark and depressive too... Really, I can't explain how people consider dark some albums like "The Yes Album" and "Caress of Steel"... |

Forest, Tool, and Univers Zero are pretty Dark bands. As are Henry Cow and Slapp Happy. I'd have to say a good dark album is KC's Red. It's a pretty dark album with songs like Starless, and the eerie instrumental Providence. Pink Floyd's dark album is most definately Animals, with its sinister sound and its constant attacks on social and political issues. ------------- www.myspace.com/fatherunderground |

If you read into it, a lot of Pink Floyd albums are pretty dark...but I love the lyrics for "Animals" (esp "Dogs") . As for other dark albums, Dream Theater's "Awake" is pretty dark....and "Ok computer" is dark...or at least depressing

Well, "Nursery Cryme" IS a dark album. Just look what the songs are about: "The Musical Box": A boy is beheaded with a crocket hammer and appears as a ghost. "Harold the Barrel": A man cut's off his toes, serves them for tea and jumps from a window. "The Fountain of Salmacis": Nymph loves unwilling demi-god and merges with him into a strange creature. "The Return of the Giant Hogweed": Evil plants take control (the Giant Hogweed does indeed exist, by the way). You don't call that dark? High Tide are a very dark band. Just listen to their albums "Sea Shanties" and the self-titled 2nd one. The "Macbeth" soundtrack album by the Third Ear Band is very dark too. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Well. I think Dream Theater "Train Of Thought" is a dark and heavy album. Also, most of Pain Of Salvation's works are dark too. Some of King Crimson's albums are dark. Latest Porcupine Tree's alums are somehow dark (just look on their covers). Van Der Graaf Generator (especially, Peter Hammill) issued some dark albums. And, of course, nowadays we have a dark band from Poland - Riverside. Thiers works are dark, but very emotinal and pure. ------------- In PROG We Trust |
