Fathers of metal, with doom influences on their earlier work.

I hear their influence on some early Draconian tracks.

This, their influence is everywhere in metal of all subgenres ...directly or indirectly.

well, seeing how they pretty much started the heavy metal genre, I'd hafta call 'em heavy metal. Dark rhythms and solos, downtuning, and lyrics that went against the grain of pop music at the time. Sounds like heavy metal to me.
