Dark Progressive Rock bands
 
I want some really dark prog rock music. I don't want any prog metal. Evil sounding stuff would be preferable. Mysterious sounding stuff is good. I just am getting tired of the happy image that prog has been producing in my mind lately. Mellotron stuff is good, like early King Crimson. I guess that is more what I want. Do any other bands produce that feeling you get when you listen to the darker songs of the early King Crimson records?

EDIT: Oh, and I do not want stuff like Tool.

You need some Van der Graaf Generator. Now.

Comus is my favorite prog band. As for Van der Graaf Generator, what album should I start with?

Epilog is pretty good too.
Both great albums though.

Yeah I like both, just wanted to recommend one to start.

It's not Progressive but Mount Eerie's latest is sombre, reflective with a hint of Black Metal but it isn't Black Metal. Just listen to the damn thing.

That Lake of Tears album is awesome. I'm really into it. I'm going to check out the other one tonight.

Lol...I like Mastodon but they are much more metal than prog, and the guy doesn't really want prog metal to begin with.
