The first three are pretty easy

Sabbath
Maiden
Metallica.

All ended creating a genre and varying levels of commercial appeal, and brought new fans in. Keeping that in mind… the 4th spot should go to…

Dethklok!
 
I think you gotta throw Yngwie in there for creating and/or helping inspire neo-classical/power metal/harmonic minor shred metal
 
Metal is so much bigger than 4 presidents. Band synergy is not individualistic.
And Sabbath didn’t really start anything that a grieving blues man of 1919 didn’t sing about.
That being said to even get started, “metal” would need a definition… and we all know that’s not happening.
Metal can be seen in all application…. The USMC ground infantry is pure METAL!!
