Sammlung: Iron Butterfly

Iron Butterfly is an American rock band formed in 1966 in San Diego, California, best known for their 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." This iconic track and its dramatic sound played a key role in the development of hard rock and heavy metal music. The band’s second album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968), became a massive success, earning them the first in-house platinum album award from Atlantic Records. While their peak was in the late 1960s, Iron Butterfly has seen various reincarnations over the years, though they have not released new recordings since 1975. Their influence on the evolution of rock music remains significant.
