The closest thing I can think of is Saviour Machine, a band that combines metal, prog and goth and sounds like no other band I know. Their second album is awesome, and their "Legend " trilogy is really impressive, even if , like me, you're no christian!

There's a band called Fields of the Nephilim who are supposedly a bit of both. Also a band who has been around for quite a while called Black Tape For a Blue Girl. Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dead Can Dance.

I agree with the Devil Doll suggestion as that is the most gothic prog rock suggestion i can think of.
 
TBH, my first thought went to early Dead Can Dance, before Devill Doll...
 
But if you want to enlarge a bit the definition, Art Zoyd, Univers Zéro and Présent are all very gothic by the sheer darkness and lugubrious settings of their music?..... and Shub-Niggurath goes a couple of steps further.

Dead Can Dance. My particular faves from the band are  Into The Labyrinth and In The Realm Of A Dying Sun.

Yes, I mentioned the Nephilim earlier in the thread. It's only really their album Elyzium that's got elements of prog in it.

Good call on Dead can Dance. They can be proggy from time time. It's world music really though, not goth. Their first couple of albums were slightly goth.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Teo albums instantly spring to mind:
Baron - Columns
Kayo Dot - Plastic House On Base Of Sky

Love Fields Of The Nephilim too....but they were never really prog imo.

Beam Light from Poland is great...
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Goth prog is widely present but mainly in a more prog related way.

Paradise Lost

Moonspell

Saviour Machine (obviously of course. Probably the purest prog n' goth combination you'll find.)

My dying Bride

Opeth (early stages)

Fields of The Nephilim

The Gathering (early Stages)

Katatonia

Agalloch

Devil Doll ( big time goth prog here, actually. Check out Eliogabulus)

Draconian

Swallow the sun

Artesia

Dead Can Dance

Gary Numan ( very Bowie like. Replicants (tubeway army) is a good example. )

Three Monks (Neo gothic progressive toccatas)

Goblin. (Nuff said. ;)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

You got it my beautiful friend.
A couple of albums right there that are a real treasure and I am very thankful to have them in my sonic arsenal.
Tell you what, Michael. I'm like you where I have not spun either of those albums in quite some time, so since I have a week off from work this week, I shall be catching up on the some critical listening and will for sure spin those 2 albums by this weeks end.
