I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I've never looked it up. That was by ear. I think the first time the phrase was used of music was that a British reviewer describe Jimi Hendrix's music as the sound of heavy metal falling from the sky. I heard that from some guy somewhere, don't know it it's true or not, but the timing would be correct - 1968-ish.
