People just cite some other horse shit that wasn't metal but wasn't pop and say that it was the first metal album
Nolan Carter
Nolan Nelson
Beatles white album
Aaron Murphy
How can that be first when it came out six years later?
Nicholas Garcia
BS is very much blues based to be considered metal

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)
youtu.be
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.
Grayson Smith
Those are songs
Hunter Fisher
William Rodriguez
this guy gets it
Kevin Powell
Did you read the first part of my post? Black Sabbath was probably the first band to bring all of those elements together and release a front-to-back metal album. I was just catching OP up to speed on the proto-metal shit that always gets posted in this threads.
Easton Morales
You might not believe this, little fella, but there're other songs on these albums too.
Oliver Torres
Aren't you forgetting someone, user?

first metal song?
Connor Davis
Believe it or not user, but people even if familiar with the music, don't always know what certain bands look like in person and you have to provide the band name along with the image
Lucas Flores
Most people would definitely call it the first Heavy Metal album. I tend to agree.
Jeremiah Nguyen
lurk moar faggot
Lucas Perry
That was released after Black Sabbath.
Deep Purple, you pleb.
Evan Torres
It’s Deep Purple, but please learn how to reverse image search
Bentley Cook
If Purple had one more guitar and one less hammond, it would have been bordering on heavy metal. In Rock from the same year as Sabbath is a fucking amazing album, but not quite Heavy Metal.
Camden Howard
Based zoomer who can't into epic interwebz
Carson Johnson
mandrake root was really metal for that time
Ethan Ramirez
Oh and while the recording for In Rock started two whole days before the one day Sabbath spent on theirs, Black Sabbath was released a whole 8 months before In Rock.

Joshua Jackson
Sorry, 4 months.
In Rock was also pretty fucking nonsensical when it came to lyrics while Black Sabbath had the dark edge to it.
Landon Bailey
Honey Pie is my favorite metal song.
Juan Martinez
Not him, but you know, if you post an image, why not take the extra 5 seconds to type the name.
It's one of the things that makes this board one of the worst music boards. That and dickheads saying "learn to reverse image search"
Fuck off, asshat.
Chase Perry
I agree
Jordan Young
fucking casuals need to leave
Jason Cook
great instrumentals with very bad lyrics. in rock is a bridge from hard blues rock to heavy metal, not quite there yet though. machine head was also pretty good, but everything after that was subpar.
the hammond sound was reinvented for machine head, I think it had a great influence on later metal bands. if anything should be replaced, the glover (bass) should go. easily the weakest member.
Isaac Robinson
Oh I love the hammond, but it's not a Heavy Metal instrument no matter how many effect you feed it through.
And you're spot on about Glover being the weakest of the lot.
Jaxon Davis
This was the first metal song
youtube.com
Black Sabbath's first album is just Blues Rock
Samuel Evans
Vincebus Eruptum. But Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath together are what really informed Heavy Metal, imo
Zachary Sanders
Xavier Garcia
it was tho
Dylan Sanchez
not metal
Tyler Clark
john coltrane and other free jazzers made some terrorizing, aggressive music in the late 60s.
Robert Torres

Wyatt Allen
Which in turn led to normie-repellant extraordinaire - Magma.
Andrew Baker
Ozzy had that nickname since childhood and sabbath is named after a movie. You failed
