The first metal album is often credited to Judas Priest’s “Sad Wings of Destiny,” which was released in 1976. However, it’s important to note that the genre of heavy metal was still in its formative stages at this time, and different people might point to different albums as the “first” metal record. Black Sabbath’s first two albums, “Black Sabbath” and “Paranoid,” both released in 1970, are also frequently mentioned in this context.
