Black Sabbath.The second was Metallica which is now and was the greatest metal band.
Much as I love Metallica, I don't think they were anywhere close to being the second ever metal band. Plus after Black Sabbath there was the new wave of british metal such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and more. Metallica and bands like Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth, started in the early to mid '80s.
Possessed or Death. There has been great debate as to who really was the first to play death metal. With demos of the two bands ''Death by Metal'' by Death and ''Death'' by Possessed released during the same year in 84', it's clear that they are both the purveyors of the genre. If anything, Death further popularized it with Chuck Schuldiner as the "Father of death metal". But the song "Death Metal" by Possessed may prove otherwise where the term was coined - in print.
