T-Shirt All of these elements came together in , when the record that is considered the first heavy metal recording was released. This song – a cover of the Eddie Cochran song Something Blue by San Francisco band Blue Cheer – was not a hit but laid the groundwork for Steppenwolf, the Yardbirds and Iron Butterfly to all release more successful albums of early heavy metal music. Heavy Metal in the s In the early s, several heavy metal acts broke through and began making their mark on the music charts, but perhaps the most significant act from this period was Led Zeppelin. Their heavily blues-influenced sound made them not only one of the biggest artists in metal but also one of the top-selling groups of the s and one of metal’s biggest and most enduring mainstream successes. With Led Zeppelin putting their blues influence in the forefront, another newly emerging music style in the s was making an impact on other metal musicians. The s also gave rise to punk music, and some 70s metal bands, including Black Sabbath, began to incorporate elements from punk into their music. Rather than taking cues from the blues, these bands focused on heavy distortion and fast, punchy drums and guitar solos. By the end of the decade, the blues-inspired metal had given away almost entirely to punk-tinged metal. These bands tended to shy away from the blues side of metal and built upon the punk influenced styles of the late s. The real peak of heavy metal history came in the mid to late s, when metal acts began to experiment with glam rock influences.
