I pair this song with "Fire" by Arthur Brown as early examples of "doom" songs, which very likely influenced heavy metal songs with themes hell, the devil, damnation etc.
Like "Fire" I think the song is an early example of a "scare-thrill", though to be frank it almost comes off as heavy metal gospel preaching. Wouldn't surprise me if this song has been covered by religious rock groups.
