Who was the first Metal band,,

,,to use the word "Metal" in the title of a song? Saxon's Heavy Metal Thunder came out in 1980, is that the first or were the others before that?

Judas Priest had Metal Gods, although that was more in the literal sense.

Don't know about song title but the first album title to use the phrase heavy metal was from 1967.

Hapshash and the Coloured Coat - Featuring the Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids (1967 UK)

First metal band to use the word 'metal' in a song title.
