Funny thing about prog is that it really has nothing to do with progression. More about playing in odd time signatures, changing time signatures, catchy melodies, and technical musicianship.
No need to listen to me anyways. What the hell do I know? Everyone else knows everything.

Although I do make a distinction between 'progressive rock' and 'progressive music', the two don't have to be mutually exclusive

Not heard any math-metal but I quite like what goes by the name of math-rock. I assume math metal takes similar ideas but with a metal instrument layout instead. It's a very 'angular' type of music. The sounds is quite jarring yet follows complex melodic patterns.

There's a bunch of completely legal to download mp3s here. This site's description of math-rock goes something like:
Take the intricacy and complexity of classic weirdo hard rock bands like Rush and Voivod, then add some of punk's hyperspasmodic schizophrenia, and you'll have a legitimate math rock contender. Math rock bands take pleasure in being erratic and unpredictable, often experimenting with peculiar tempos and jazz-derived rhythms while keeping the rock hard and aggressive all the while. Their lyrics tend to be as cerebral and expertly designed as their songs. These bands are rock's architects of the future, recrafting and reinventing the genre's tired song structures.

Here's a direct link to a track I quite like by Don Caballero. They're good. You can type in a fake email address.
