New York's Dust was largely ignored during their existence in the late 60's/early 70's. Decades later, their self-titled debut effort and their sophomore release, Hard Attack, are heralded as early pioneers of heavy metal. I don't know. The themes are similar to a lot of heavy metal ones(death, pain), but the actual sound is a lot more like hard rock in the style of early Black Sabbath.
Aside from the music, the band is often known by what the members did after the dissolution of the band. Richie Wise, the lead singer and guitarist, went on to produce Kiss albums. Kenny Aaronson, the bass player, became a touring musician working with Billy Idol, Billy Squier, Foghat, Brian Setzer, Dave Edmonds, and many others. Most famously, drummer Marc Bell went to on join the Ramones in 1978. By then, of course, he was christened Marky Ramone. There is more information here.
