1968...I remember seeing this as a kid. A wonderful intro into the world of darkness.
"And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders of a young horse named George who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision."

Dark is obviously a very subjective term, applied to music. Some people might find "melancholy" music to be dark or menacing, some might find it soothing.
Just because...
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Nils Petter Molvær - Darker
Great music but not dark in my ears.
UZ, Art Zoyd, some Magma, some Zaboitzeff, a.o. can be dark...
IMO lyrics doesnt make music dark, it can contribute to the mood though (or make the whole thing a bit ridiculous).
Leadbelly's "In the Pines" is really dark. So is Nirvana's cover, which they called "Where Did You Sleep Last Night".

I've been listening to Dmitri Tymoczko Crackpot Hymnal and I am just speechless. I took a chance on this when I searched for modern Chamber Music and I am pretty overwhelmed it. Sections of the music cross into paths of Chamber Rock and a little tricky to notice in the immediate sense . I have imagined drums playing over top of these sections which brings to mind Univers Zero and Art Zoyd. The surrealism of this music is powerful and can lure you in. The performance of The Amernet Quartet on "Typecase Treasury" is just beyond incredible. Pieces like "This One Was Supposed To Be Atonal", "Russian Metal", and "Crackpot Hymnal" are very intense, melodically dark, extremely dark dream sequence produced through music of complexity and simplicity as one. The album begins with "The Eggman Variations" which the first movement , Pentatonia, creates a fictitious land with music made of 5- note scales, some familiar, some not. This entire CD is amazing from start to finish.
