Iron Butterfly was an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1966. They are best known for the 1968 hit “In‐A‐Gadda‐Da‐Vida”, ( "In the Garden of Eden”) providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music.

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.

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.
