Being a fledgling music junkie at that time, the term Heavy Metal was definitely used in regard to Sabbath and Zeppelin. I seemed to remember Lester Bangs was the main purveyor of the term in Creem and Rolling Stone magazine, and wikipedia confirms that.

Surprising to read that Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" first used the phrase in song lyrics.
("... heavy metal thunder")
