Magellan,Cairo,Kansas are not prog metal.

Queensryche I never considered prog metal either.

And Transatlantic are definitely not prog metal or a US band,with 2 members from the US,1 from Sweden and 1 from England.
 

You don consider Queensryche prog metal?...what are they then, jsut metal?

US and Sweeden are tied IMO with them both having some very good prog metal  but I'll vote for US to keep them on track.

Both North American and Scandinavian origins seem to fill most Progressive Metal (or even raw metal) bands with an immediate advantage, looming as an uncanny, congenial trait of some unearthly magnanimity of sorts. 

This is why you should let Robin save the day...
