Dark Evil Progressive music

It had nothing to do with Humility it had to do that my first post asked for music, and then he ridiculed me for asking for evil to begin with, and then telling me to go read a book when this is a music forum not a book forum. 

 

Here's a small list ... some of it I am not sure it is/was that progressive. I had to scramble me brains to remember some of these.

 

Black Widow - The first three albums were all about the dark arts and the occult. Had touches of jazzy material as well.

 

Coven - I think this was a California outfit that put together a couple of albums based on their very own stuff and beliefs. I can not ascertain its depth or validity (don't feel wualified to do so!), but at times the lyrics are not ... the usual stuff we hear.

 

Leviathan - I came across a review of this album somewhere, and I think this was an American band, but as much as I have the album, I have not heard, or checked it out, enough to tell you more. I do remember the rock music being fairly strong.

 

Plus - The Seven Deadly Sins. Presumably this was done by the same person that did Thunderclap Newman (Something in the Air). There are 7 songs about each one of the Sins. Would probably be progressive in that the songs are all different ... but the wording, for my tastes, fairly conventional and sometimes theatrical where it doesn't need to be. Great fun for playing on that Halloween show, btw ... because it comes off weird!

 

Lucifer - I have the LP but have to listen to it again. If I remember it correctly it was an interesting experiment through the synthesizer and a strange concoction of sounds. Don't wuote me on this one. Haven't heard it in some time.

 

Annubian Lights - The first album with Nik Turner reading various Egyptian this and that. While not quite "dark" or "evil", the whole thing in the trance mode is kinda strange, and sometimes ... weird. But enjoyable. Lyrics are not that clear, but there are some.

 

Already mentioned some of the other albums in a previous post. But there are a couple of things that are very hard to discuss that I have not been able to determine a whole lot about. One of them comes from Nepal, and is a lot of music that is used in Funeral Dirges of old. Some of the music was used in a BBC special a few years back, and most of it is down right scary, sounds strange and is very dark, even for my tastes ... i somehow have this idea that this might be akin to some of the music we might find in the Bardo level ... way out there ... but that might be a bit too weird to discuss here.

 

Hope this helps.

Some Porcupine Tree stuff(In Absentia), and Opeth. 

This should start you off.
