Zeke has moved from the Silent Market in Khrysalis to the Sardonyx on the other side of the Starfall Sea. He wants to know if you’re following him around. He actually needs your help, he wanted to rustle up some of the Iron Butterflies from the Garden of Vida, but the done fluttered away. Zeke needs you to keep an eye so the Iron Butterflies don’t get harmed with all the fussing and fighting going on.
Iron Butterfly is an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1966. They are best known for the 1968 hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music. Although their heyday was the late 1960s, the band has been reincarnated with various members with varying levels of success with no new recordings since 1975. Their second album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968), remains a best-seller, and Iron Butterfly was the first group to receive an In-House platinum album award from Atlantic Records. Their music has found a significant impact on the international rock scenes, influencing numerous acts such as Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Rush, Alice Cooper, Mountain, Uriah Heep, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots and Queens of the Stone Age.
The band formed in 1966 in San Diego. The original members were Doug Ingle (vocals, organ, formerly of Jeri and the Jeritones and Palace Pages, Iron Butterfly’s forerunner), Jack Pinney (drums), Greg Willis (bass), and Danny Weis (guitar, also of Palace Pages). The group were soon joined by vocalist and tambourine player Darryl DeLoach. DeLoach’s parents’ garage served as the site for their almost nightly rehearsals.
In early 1968, after the band signed a deal with Atco Records, an Atlantic Records subsidiary, the band’s debut album Heavy was released. The group was signed by Atlantic’s Charles Greene, who was co-producer of Heavy. All but Ingle and Bushy left the band after completing the album in the late summer of 1967. The two remaining musicians, faced with the possibility of the record not being released, quickly found replacements in bassist Lee Dorman and 17-year-old guitarist Erik Brann (also known as “Erik Braunn” and “Erik Braun”) and resumed touring.
The 17-minute “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, the title track of Iron Butterfly’s second album, became a top-30 hit (edited down to 2:52) in the U. S. The album was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA in December 1968. The album stayed on the Billboard charts for 140 weeks and ultimately sold over 30 million copies.
“In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” (derived from “In the Garden of Eden”) is a song recorded by Iron Butterfly, written by band member Doug Ingle and released on their 1968 album of the same name.
At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The lyrics, a love song from the biblical Adam to his mate Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end. The middle of the song features a two-and-a-half-minute Ron Bushy drum solo.
“In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” was Iron Butterfly’s only song to reach the top 40, reaching number 30, while the album itself reached number four on the album chart and sold over 30 million copies. An 8-minute-20-second edit of the song was included in the soundtrack to the 1986 film Manhunter. In 2009, it was named the 24th-greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. It is also often regarded as an influence on heavy metal music and one of the firsts of the genre.
