Your statement is an opinion, not fact. Sabbath is heavy metal.
Everybody referred to them as "Heavy Metal" back then.
Nobody referred to them as "doom rock"--that's a term that was invented years later.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame--"Formed in Birmingham, England in 1968, Black Sabbath stands as the premier purveyors of heavy metal."
All Music Guide--"Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style."
Rolling Stone--"Their phenomenal first four albums -- Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Vol. 4 -- remain the clearest articulations of heavy metal vocabulary to date."
BlackSabbath.com--"Black Sabbath have taken the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for their rendition of "Iron Man" from the platinum-certified Reunion album."
