1970 saw the self-titled album from Black Sabbath, and that's typically considered the starting point, although several bands from the 1960s are considered to be 'proto-Metal' leading up to the inception of Heavy Metal. 1970 was also the year that Sir Lord Baltimore released Kingdom Come, as well as the year that the band Pentagram was formed (the US band, not the South American one). Sir Lord Baltimore was actually the first band which the term "Heavy Metal" was used to describe.
