Parts of it, yeah (the two C'thulhu songs in particular). I don't think "Disposable Heroes" is prog metal though, and "Damage Inc." certainly isn't.
Overall, I'd say it's pretty much a heavy metal album drawing from various aspects of the genre from thrash to prog in a surprisingly cohesive manner. It effectively established Metallica as the definitive band of the whole genre for their day precisely because of their ability to unify the sounds of the underground and the more mainstream in one solid package.
