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...

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.

Shadow Gallery, Dream Theater, Magellan, Cairo, Savatge, Symphony X, Queensryche, Kansas, Enchant, Transatlantic are some of many good examples

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.
