Black Sabbath brought all of the individual elements together on a single record in 1970, but metal had been building up slowly since 1968 at the latest. Maybe even earlier.
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues (1968)

Why is it impirtant? Often considered one of the first heavy metal songs.
The Beatles - Helter Skelter (1968)
youtu.be
Why is it important? It was deliberately written to be the heaviest song ever at that time.
Iron Butterfly - "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (1968)
youtu.be
Why is it important? Iron Butterfly described their music as "heavy" and the "Iron" (metal) in the band name is meant to signify the heaviness of their music.
Steppenwolf - "Born To Be Wild" (1968)
youtu.be
Why is it important? Contains the lyric "Heavy metal thunder"
Coven - "Black Sabbath" (1969)
youtu.be
Why is it important? Black Sabbath took their name from this song, Ozzy took his stage name from their bassist Oz Osbourne, and many of the bands songs deal with witchcraft and Satanism.
