Awww Nogbad_The_Bad, this is a bit unfair really as I was debating and replying to the forum topic, DARK PROG.  

So what you are saying is that the thread title should have been either

(1) We need a new genre - Dark Prog
or
(2) Please suggest Dark Prog music (!!NOT A GENRE DISCUSSION!!)

Just so it was clear that this wasn't a request for a new genre?

You are debating in an empty room, no-one else is talking genre. I'd suggest you start a new thread so that those of interested in peoples suggestions for dark progressive music can continue the interesting discussion.

Besides the usual packages you should check out Battlestations if you don't have a dislike against Post-Rock.
Their 29-minute album The Death of the Day is rather dark and desolate (except for the last three minutes).

Under a Cold Embrace is even better, but less dark.

Their music can be listened on bandcamp.

I'm listening to the three Virus' songs you linked right now. The Black Flux gets somewhat groovy in the middle, which I like, and Archives seems to be good with its kinda fast tempo.
I listened to Spiderland one year or so ago but didn't like it, perhaps I should revise it because everyone seem to consider it crazy good.
As for Russian Circles, I will lend 'em an ear when I have more time on my hands, I'll let you know later.
Again, thanks everybody for the music you've suggested me, I hope this keeps growing (even if it means I'll spend all my life listening to them all Thumbs Up ).

Of course I don't consider "dark prog" a genre of its own. I just used the term to get the message across and since it is very vague it allows people to suggest a lot (A LOT, indeed) of different bands.


Out of curiosity, what did you think of the bands I linked to?

I think you're generalizing. A small percentage of punk is insanely good music. Never generalize an entire genre because a 'genre' is just a descriptive word used to categorize music.
Maybe I am Smurph, I just generalizing what I feel however I might be wrong and not heard most of it and which makes me in be wrong. I honestly doubt it tho', considering  I favor memorable tunes not just strumming for the sake of it  Stern Smile hugs tho'  Hug

Prog is a genre. Tons of bands like IQ, The Flower Kings, etc. It's not progressive music, it's prog the genre.
Exactly.
And dark prog is just one of its styles, an atmosphere...

As someone already said, heavy does not equal dark of course (i.e. Rush, Dream Theater, the Power metal genre), even if the two categories often blur together. This brings even more variety to the table.

And no, I'm not a psycho clown killer searching for glorification in the music I listen toClown, but that would make for an interesting concept album... Maybe... Ermm

And that dark prog is just one of its styles, an atmosphere... not even a sub-genre of Prog.

hey I am all for the use of prog in anything it's fun kinky i.e. I say it's prog for lack of a better word, plus it's fun too, means nothing  Big smile however dark prog is a bit odd in terms of describing a specific genre to me Stern Smile sorry xxx hugs Hug Does that really exist?
