Well I used to own Divine Wings of Tragedy (before I deleted it) and it's quite prog metal.
Prog metal and power metal have similar origins. They're both somewhat of an attempt to take the sounds of the cheesiest bands of the 70s (Uriah Heep, Rainbow, Kansas, Styx) and make it significantly cheesier.
Now I love me some Heep and Styx, but that's my maximum cheese limit.
