You missed their first album?
I agree with you about Sabbath being the first metal act. The only contenders for me are Led Zeppelin but they are more to the hard rock side of things if you ask me.
Although categorizing bands is pretty pointless because it's up to the listener what he feels it is, atleast the borderline bands.
Also, defining metal by the lyrics (DEATH DESTRUCTION MURDER!!1) is a really, for a lack of better word - uneducated thing to say.
