Even Black Sabbath had blues influences which is why Judas Priest could be defined as the first true metal band as well. When it comes to heaviness, the Deep Purple album
In Rock was probably the heaviest thing around for the era and that album was f
ucking heavy for 1970 and it was a number of years before anybody recorded anything as heavy.
