Correct. Black Sabbath is universally recognized as the first band to take jazz & blues-rock and deliberately infuse it with an overtly dark, Gothic/Horror element. This "Gothic Jazz" is the formula that became known as Metal. Prior to them, no one used this precise formula, despite the fact that it is easy to find numerous hard rock bands from that era with somewhat dark songs.

Who were the two first heavy rock bands to wear make up?
Early make-up wearing Heavy Rock bands were "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" and before that "The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown" and Alice Cooper. In each case only one member dressed up. One of the problems with answering the Question is defining Heavy Metal and Heavy Rock - lots of 60s and 70s acts wore make-up, but were they Heavy Rock? There is a reasonable argument for Kiss, but Motley Crue are definitely out of the running. The first 'Glam Metal' band ever, a year or more before Motley Crue, full "Big Hair" leather and make up, was Wrathchild. Not to be confused with the American band, this was the British Band formed in Evesham, England in 1980...

The world most heavy metal music?
I recently came across this band. Their name is The Berzerker and they hail from Australia. This is the fastest shredding band I have ever heard. They are twice as heavy as Slipknot and 4 times as fast. You can check them out on MySpace. I think they are the heaviest band I've ever heard and I've been a Metalhead for over 30 years( I'm 51 years old). The heaviest heavy metal genre is death metal and black metal or a subgenre of them such as brutal death metal. Doom metal as well can be quite heavy - especially funeral doom or death/doom which is often slower and "thick" sounding kind of heavy. I think Berzerker is fast and chaotic but fastest doesn't mean heaviest. It is all anyone's game as to what band plays the heaviest metal music and in the end all comes down to personal preference.
