    Coven are only thrown in with the proto-metal stuff because of the Satanic and occult themes which are also prevalent in heavy metal.. musically they are more akin to the psychedelic folky rock coming out of san francisco at the time... the Jefferson Airplane comparisons seem pretty sound to me, although i'm admittedly not very familiar with Jefferson Airplane..

    Is Black Sabbath proto-metal ? I'd say it's metal itself [2]
