Yeah. I know all those bands. Artillery and Dark Angel are great, Vio-Lence is alright.. for Thrash I would get (if you have not already)

Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
Sadus - Swallowed in Black
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
Forbidden - Forbidden Evil
Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence

5 you should listen to if you have not yet.

I will have to get back to you on the similar to Acid Bath. I have not heard any band I can say is similar (or at least comparable)... when it comes to Doom, I have been getting more into the traditional stuff like Candlemass, Pentagram and Trouble to name a few.

I'd definitely check out some of Devin Townsend's solo material. His discography is pretty large so I'd start off at the beginning and just work your way up. His 1997 solo debut Ocean Machine is a pretty awesome album for a guy who was so young, and the polar opposite from his other album from '97 City by Strapping Young Lad.

I'd also recommend checking out the Norwegian group Green Carnation, you can either start off with their 2000 debut Journey to the End of the Night or go for their 2001 follow-up Light of Day, Day of Darkness. The latter is a 60-minute metal epic that is truly awe inspiring, but I still prefer their debut.

Also here's a mix I made last year, you might find something on it you like.

I know my names not Bastard but prog metal is something I listen to a lot of and first up I would say to you that its very distinct to prog rock. In that somebody who is say really into Yes is probably going to like or at least appreciate nearly all the other prog bands of that era such as Rush, Floyd, Crimsom and Genesis etc. Prog metal doesn`t really work like that, as the the type of metal used greatly ifluences the overall sound. For example, somebody thats really into Voivod extreme metal (thrash) mixed with prog, is probably not going to like Dream Theater melodic metal mixed with prog and AOR. Its really a case of finding what metal you like and can tolerate, because if you`re not into extreme metal bands like Voivod and Atheist, their material is probably just going to sound like a load of noise. Here are some bands and the ones I`ve highlighted are better to start with:

Voivod- Thrash metal with prog
Watchtower- Thrash metal with prog
Atheist- Death metal with prog
Tiamat- Death metal with prog
Dream Theater- Melodic metal with prog and AOR
Fates Warning- Melodic metal with prog (Ray Alder albums)
Symphony X- Symphonic metal with prog
Queensryche- Melodic metal with prog
Mastodon- Progressive sludge metal
Baroness- Progressive sludge metal
Opeth- Death metal with prog (but the band have mellowed into a prog rock act)
Porcupine Tree- Their prog metal albums
Anathema- Prog on some of their albums
Evergrey- Swedish prog rock/metal
Amorphis- Finnish prog rock/metal

and Pain of Salvation imo one of the great prog metal bands around but take some getting used to.

I could name you more, but considering that you`re a Steeley Dan fan best of with the melodic metal influenced stuff

Thank You my good friend/mate. Knew that I could count on you Soldier. (LoathsomePete helped with suggesting some good progressive metal also). Thanks! All..of you guys that responded.

Come to think about it, Electric Wizard is pretty wicked. XD

I don't know about metal sub genres too much but for some strange reason I had Katatonia listed under symphonic metal. I guess I'll go and edit their tracks to reflect what they really are.

Viva Emptiness and The Great Cold Distance are the two albums I have from them.

Well, Katatonia started as doom metal, but now they're sort of like...doom rock? I don't know but they're hard to classify.
