Yes, they are. In the liner notes of the original Cd release of Machine Head, which was originally issued in 1972, Deep Purple are credited with giving birth to heavy metal after the release of the Machine Head album.
Two schools of thought here. Some say Deep Purple are metal, but most people say that they are a very heavy rock band with some metal tracks. I agree with the latter.
