Judas Priest were the first metal band. Motorhead are not speed metal-they are just a damn fine dirty rock n roll band with the volume turned up. Electric Wizard are from Dorset. The NWOBHM came before Thrash and was a huge influence but the article claims it was after. The first 'Nu-Metal' album was Mordred's 'In This life' released way back in 1991 that featured a sixth member soley dedicated to keys and sampling.

Some great points and a well written thread but research is definitely needed.
