Best Answer

The first metal band was called Black Sabath. Black Sabbath is universally recognized as the first band to take the blues & rock, slow it down, distort it and deliberately infuse it with an overtly dark, Gothic/Horror element. This "heavy blues" is the formula that became known as Metal. Prior to them, no one used this precise formula,

despite the fact that it is easy to find numerous hard rock bands from that era with occasional dark songs.
