Actually there are more 1967/1968 songs that sound Heavy.
Hard Rock/Heavy Metal was the continuation of Heavy Psychedelic
sound.

1967!! Damn!! I think we have the winner here, for the first heavy metal song contest!!!
And I thought this was a good contestant:

But it's probably too late (1968) and soft compared to the previous one...

PS. The last posts seem off topic (since the recommendations are much earlier than 1978-79). Maybe a mod should seperate the topic and make a new one about late 60s/early 70's metal or something...

I can definitely think some more from 1968, but 1967??? Only Cream-Sunshine of your love comes in my mind, but its much softer (though influential).

It is a heavy guitar sound, but it's just a few returning notes, no full-on riffing.

well you may be right,but i tend to consider the vocal approach as well as the other instruments to tell if it sounds heavy to my ears...that song is a proto-doom track in my ears
