Of those Spiral Architect, but there are many more like Spastic Ink, Behold... the Arctopus, Dhrythmia (which is spelt wrong, I know...), even Orthrelm although we're beginning to travel rather far away from prog metal at this point!

I forgot GORDIAN KNOT... This album is excellent, not repetitive to over the top
What is prog rock ?

It is music that does progress. Progressive music takes a riff, turns it inside out, plays it upside down and the other way around, and explores its potential.

It's also the best technical prog metal band.

I picked Spiral Architect, but I find Cynic, Spastik Inc, Canvas Solaris, and Meshuggah more technical, but also they can be annoying with their relentlessness. Psychotic Waltz can be pretty technical at times too, but not all out like some of the other bands.

I put tool for the rhythms, not guitar solos and difficulty in playing the notes.
 
If it was about how difficult the songs are to play, I'll choose Dream Theater easily or Liquid Tension Experiment.

Just technical monstruosity.
 
Dream theater comes very close.

There good but not that technical, even I can play some of those bass lines.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I like all the bands mentioned here, maybe except Spiral Architect, but Power of Omens is, IMO, one of the few prog metal bands who actually create a texture, and their texture is very impressive indeed!

Adagio are pretty technical .. so are Time Requim but I think Andromeda or spiral architect take the cake Wink   Keep in mind technicle doesn`t mean its good , sometimes technicle can leave one big headache , I mean I would prefer  a balance of melodic flow and technicality if I had my choice I guess thats why vintage Kansas is my idea of perfection.

um, no.
 
Planet X is probably mine- not only are they technical- but it's VERY CLEAN
 
Spiral sounds a bit sloppy at times....

You should definately check out Spastic Ink
Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Watchtower.

I’ve yet to hear Spiral Architect’s album, although it’s quite an experience from what I’ve gathered.

Out of those definitely Spiral Architect.

But like Mike said,Power of Omens is pretty technical,and I think their drummer is incredible.

I recommend their album Rooms of Anguish.Clap
