You have no perspective to make the comment about "dark" music, and the use of the language is horrific to say the least. It's "imaginary" at best.


I'm sorry, but I didn't want to start a thread about what "dark" means. I only wanted to know more music, that's it. I wrote what bands I like to listen just to make clear what type of music I'd like to explore. Most people seem to have understood, I don't see the problem.

Regarding the language, I could say I'm just bad at writing, but again, everyone who replied on this thread seems to understand me. Writing posts is good practice, perhaps in the future I will not sound so "imaginary" when writing/speaking in English.
Peace
Your OP is just perfect. Moreover, I'm gonna to rank your thread with a sparkling five stars 'cause I love the dark prog soundscapes so much Thumbs Up

Another artist added to the list Thumbs Up. I actually had to take a notebook and make a list, so that nothing slips away.

I heard the first three cuts out of Pleroma and it's very nice so far. I like the vocalist, she reminds me of Frequency Drift (although the music is not that similar).

I'd like to recommend Arktis/Air from Wien: http://arktisair.bandcamp.com/album/en-trance





"Take John Zorn's Painkiller and mix it with the post metal efforts of Isis and the occasional 70's prog experiments in the vein of King Crimson. Garnish the whole sonic spectacle with insane blast beats à la Napalm Death, the complexity and technical finesse of Jazz and add a pinch of Melvins. How do these ingredients blend? Allow Arktis/Air to demonstrate." (Michael Ternai, MICA)

^I second that. That album is TRULY dark. And difficult to listen to but very rewarding.

The OP was fine, it was Kati who ran it down a rabbit hole.

Hi everyone.

Given my mood lately, I thought I could use some dark and gloomy music. I've listened to a lot of VdGG, but I struggle to find other bands with such a convoluted and "serious" sound. I would like to ask you some suggestions for what I like to call "dark prog". I don't mind heavy music.
 
Turn out the lights!
 
You don't need the music! And half of those are not dark as you are dense, I'm sure!

What reason do you have for insulting the OP?
 
NONE.

What a load of bullsh*t.

Anyway. Surprised to see Virus mentioned in this thread, not a band I would describe as dark though their three albums are excellent, with Carheart being my personal favourite. Their preceding band Ved Buens Ende on the other was exactly that with their album Written in Waters.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

The Arktis/Air album blew my mind! It sounds exactly like what I'm searching for. On some tracks it reminded me slightly of The Mars Volta. Very cool.

Ha! Reminds me of another good one and I quote: "Fingers walk the darkness down
Mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found
You fool it's only moonlight"
 
This last one is from Lungs, now also the soundtrack song for True Detective. Approve

Is there anybody in there

Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

Marillion had some pretty dark lyrics at the end of the Fish era. The man who inroduced me to them when I was 15 had doubts about lending me Clutching, because of that.

Marillion without Fish is a bit odd, just like DT without Portnoy and SB without Neal Morse, however the latter continued to be quite impressive tooBig smile Anyway, I still enjoy all 3 bands here given the circumstances. Hug

Marillion peaked with Clutching, IMO. They have some good songs after that, but I'm not keen on their overall sound with H.
