The first songs may be a litle too hard to pin down and opinions vary as to specific bands creating sub genres, so i will do albums.

1. You could Say Black Sabbath but as an actual specific genre then maybe Candlemass's debut
2. Hmmm. Iron Maiden are sometimes credited with creating power metal but again I would maybe say Accept of Germany who epotomised a lot of the era. Possibly Manowar too.
3. Metallicas Kill 'em All usually is credited first.
4. Possessed's Seven Churches
5. Venom had an album called 'Black Metal' in '82 but the genre began with Bathory i would say.
6. ??????? Has it's roots way back in bands like Dinosaur Jr but unsure of this one. Possibly Mudhoney.
7. no idea!
