IRON BUTTERFLY
The heavy, psychedelic acid rock of Iron Butterfly may seem dated to some today,
but the group was one of the first hard rock bands to receive extensive radio airplay, and
their best-known song, the 17-minute epic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," established that more
extended compositions were viable entries in the radio marketplace, paving the way
for progressive AOR. The track was written by vocalist, organist, and bandleader Doug Ingle,
who formed the first incarnation of Iron Butterfly in 1966 in San Diego with drummer Ron Bushy.
After the group moved to Los Angeles and played the club scene, it secured a recording
contract and got national exposure through tours with the Doors and Jefferson Airplane.
Following the release of their 1968 debut album, Heavy, original members
Jerry Penrod (bass), Darryl DeLoach (vocals), and Danny Weis (guitar) left the band and
were replaced by guitarist Erik Braunn and bassist Lee Dorman.

Iron Butterfly's 1968 debut album, Heavy, established the band's trademark sound,
relying on plodding, heavy guitar riffs and thundering drums. Most of the album was
not particularly well written -- the riffs were the songs, not their foundation -- but the band's
overwhelmingly loud sonic attack occasionally made up for the weakness in the material...(AllMusic)
