Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's


Have been a fan of hard rock/metal since high school. Always liked the heavy/physcadelic bands equally to the metal bands I grew up with Ozzy-Maiden and Scorpions ect. Recently on Youtube I discovered some heavy/physcadelic bands I was unaware of. 13th Floor Elevators-Five Day Rain-Probe Direction-The Hook and Vahalla. Are these bands albums worth persuing? Feel free to mention any other band that deserves to be heard. Look forward to your responses.

Most bands mentioned are,not metal. Maybe a,precursor in down tuned guitars.

with the Sabbath slow dirge and bass heavy sound.

 

   Leaf hound, possibly a steep towards that direction  

coven (lyrics are amazing, Jinx has the perfect voice for the band. I may be wrong, but if I remember history, didn’t the,first Coven LP predate the,first sabbath,album by weeks???  They have a song titled “Black Sabbath” and early sabbath was known as,”earth”
