Progressive music’s sound cannot really be pigeonholed due to the very nature of Progressive Music, however some factors remain constant. The musicianship is very high and often very complex. Most songs are very long with very few “parts” repeated. And often bands put out concept albums (albums unified by a central theme that runs throughout the record. Often songs will have a consistent riff or sound that anchors it together).

That proves that Tool is a progressive metal band.

Thrash metal combines the speed and intensity of punk and hardcore with the precision of metal.

All post-'Power Metal' Pantera = Thrash metal. Sometimes they're labelled as "Groove Metal", which also makes sense.

Not truly a metal sub-genre

It is a metal subgenre. Whether or not you like it, it is. Why do you think it's called "Nu-
metal"? The vocals are
sometimes influenced by hip-hop/rap, that's about it.
You failed to mention anything about Alternative Metal.
