Biography

Edit

Iron Butterfly is an American hard rock band formed in 1965. They are best known for the 17 minute magnum opus "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", the title track of their second album. It was this track which established them as the early champions of psychedelic rock. On the basis of the track the album went on to sell millions, but the band failed to recapture this success with later releases. Much of their later output was marred by continual break-ups, reformations and line-up changes but the latest incarnation of the band is touring and is reported to be working on a new album.
