There's plenty of heavy psych out there from that time. Don't know if I'd call it metal, but it's closest I can think of before Black Sabbath.
Austin Bailey
>blue cheer
yeah, either blue cheer, or heavy psych in general is what you want, OP
youtube.com
Michael Smith
yes of course.. however there are examples of metal that happened before sabbath
Gavin Ward
One of the very first truly metallic songs, everything else in here is either blues rock or psych.
Landon Rivera
21st Century Schitzoid Man is very, very close to being a metal track. And that was 1969.
Cameron Diaz
The Gun-Race with the Devil

Pink Floyd-The Nile Song

Jimi Hendrix-Peace in Mississippi

Jackson Sanchez
In-a-gadda-da-vida is the closest thing I can think of.
Lucas Morgan
I agree completely and I would consider it metal.
Ayden Hill
lol thats not metal
if anything its closer to big band with rock electric guitar than metal
Ryan Thompson
Its got a lot of elements that would later be integrated into metal, its heavy both musically and lyrically, it takes use of distorted vocals. it is probably the closest thing to metal before metal.
Leo Hall
I'd argue it is metal sentiment throughout the track and actual tone during the vocal sections. A very heavy track indeed.
Lincoln Lee
Vanilla Fudge
Flower Travellin Band
Blue Cheer
Charles Nguyen
god damn this is so good. metal as fuck
Easton Evans
Kick out the Jams Mutherfucker!
MC5 1969
youtube.com
Charles King
this is from 1970 but the song came out in 1969- look at all the proto-headbangers in the front row
Elijah Ward
This is closer to punk rock than metal
Aaron Price
wouldn't consider this metal but awesome footage nonetheless
Lucas Young
In fairness, ozzy osbourne did do a cover of it so its kind of proof that they are at least somewhat similar in genre. You can continue to debate whether it is or not but im not in much doubt.
Jeremiah Hernandez
fine line...punk bands didnt "jam" - blues based high velocity rock...histrionic guitar solo..song about fucking....
progenitors of both.
Nicholas Campbell
fine line...certainly an inspiration and some consider progenitor.
Nolan Davis
was it the argyle sweater vest?
Oliver Wood
it's just hard rock
Gavin Howard
is there any jazz that was doomy in nature, or aggressive/metallic? I'm thinking of some of the harsh stuff coltrane put out like Ascension
Julian Gray
black sabbath took such a big leap when they release their debut
Jaxson Ross
youtube.com
This is quite dark/menacing.
Bentley Roberts
There will never EVER be a metal missing link discovered
Ever.
Do you have any fucking idea how many years we've been trying? Actively trying? It will never happen.
Kevin Hernandez
>it's just hard rock
so is metal.
Blake Reed
I Want You (She's So Heavy) by a little band called The Beatles. Check them out if you don't know
Jackson Baker
I would guess 47 years.
Isaac Price
I wanna be your dog
Gavin Richardson
youtube.com
Actual first ever metal song in music history
Parker Williams
i'd gladly spam slam but i'm too tired
Gabriel Scott
nice that's what I'm talking about.
Joseph Morris
not metal
Matthew Myers
blump
Christian Robinson
Only thing that comes to mind would be Deep Purple and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
(Also "Blood of The Sun" by Mountain but that might be a bit of a stretch)
