The plastic finger tips he created had nothing to do with the way he hit chords since they were on his fret hand. And, in any case, it's generally the progressions themselves (chromatic, tritone, modal scale), which gives metal its character, not just how the chords are hit.
Next, you'll be saying that his plastic finger tips gave birth to palm-muting (or pizzicato)...

I would say Sabbath were the originators of the early stripped down louder blues/hard rock based Metal sound [based on Led Zeppelin's sound or even King Crimson's - 21st Century Schizoid Man (track)]- which had a slow to medium tempo.Judas Priest developed a new sounding metal from their early Heavy Prog sound stripped it down speeded up the tempo & made it more abrasive to form a sound associated with 80's NWOBHM sound (Iron Maiden). almost Trad Metal now.
