Kinda. Depends on the album, etc. But they are more hard rock then metal, but sure. You can call them metal.
Nolan Howard
I wouldn't say metal
Nolan Williams

Enough of their music is metal to call them metal, I think. The song Black Sabbath is pretty metal, and they deserve the title of first metal band because of how incredibly influential they were to the genre.
Jacob Fisher
These guys pretty much invented Metal. So no.

True, I don't listen to as much metal as I should, but when I think metal, I get Judas Priest in my head.

I once knew a guy who tried to claim that not a single black sabbath song was metal until the Dio really, and everything before then was strictly blues rock
John Moore
*Dio era
Justin Hernandez

Ryan Smith
They're heavier than most glam metal bands so I say yes
John Hill
If it doesn't have blast beats it's not metal.
James Gomez

Brandon Rogers

Landon Bell
Underrated post
Connor Sullivan
Define hardcore
Jack Evans
It's all in the riffs. They used simplicity to create some of the most brutal riffs.

Zep - Proto Metal
Sabbath - Proto Doom Metal
Priest and early Maiden - Most pure metal without prog influence
Then metal meets prog and imo enters its most pure form.
The Venom line of influence is when hardcore met metal. Some people consider this line more pure than the prog.
Still some consider the early hard rock and doom the most pure. I guess it doesn't really matter that much.
