Should we say, right off the bat, that death metal doesn't count?
That's infinite darkness there, brah...

Typical death metal is more about Satanism for show, few artists really believe in or practice any of that. Larry Lalonde (who was in Possesssed when they recorded 7 churches) has said a few times he thinks anyone who is actually into that stuff is pretty stupid. Even bands with fairly dark-sounding names (Death, Morbid Angel) focus more on philosophy lyrically and idealogically.
The guys who wanted to be really evil went into black metal, which is where my choice is.
Darkthrone's Transylvanian Hunger. Very atmospheric and dark.
