No, unfortunately not. But I'll fill the gaps.

I've only heard about them and their best record Obscura. Are they similar to Atheist?

True but one of the greatest black metal bands. They had a hard time at the start of their career because after the release of their debut 3 out of 4 band members were in jail.

Kerry Livgren belongs here.  He is on of two main  songwriters for Kansas and is the main songwriter for Proto-Kaw both of whom are already in the Archives. Most of his solo stuff and AD stuff should qualify him.  Steve Walsh the other songwriter from Kansas belongs here for his last two works Glossolia and Shawdowman.

Nightingale-The band themselves label their music as prog. I personally think their music is a bit AOR-ish

Edge of Sanity-They were one of the death bands to introduce prog element to their music. Peronally I think there are more progressive death metal bands

Alchemist-Just because the band has a lot of psyche elements doesn't mean they're prog

Failure-Not Prog in the least. Great band though

Postman Syndrome-This band needs to be put on Prog Archives immediately. Probably some of the most inventive and creative music I've ever heard

The problem with your statement here (and with the list you've given) is that you've quoted someone else's review.  Just because someone labels a band prog doesn't necessarily mean that they're prog - you have to justify that statement by giving specific reasons why they should be considered prog.

Having said that, here are some comments on the bands I'm familiar with:

AD/Kerry Livgren - Definitely worth considering, due to the Kansas connection, but I have only heard a few tracks, so I can't make an informed decision.
America Gomorrah - Heard a few mp3s, which I liked, and are possibly a candidate for being included here.
Nightingale, King's X, Galactic Cowboys, Tourniquet - All of these have prog elements in their music, which for some people might be enough to warrant their inclusion, however I don't think they're proggy enough to be here.
Balance Of Power - Never understood why these guys get labelled prog.  They're a good band, I just don't hear any prog.
Sacred Warrior, Deliverance, Jacobs Dream - Good metal bands, but not prog

"Prometheus" is a very proggy Black metal album though, so this band has more prog elements than other bands listed there.
