Iron Butterfly will play ShoWare Center May 12

It’s a riff so heavy it still boggles the mind more than 40 years after its creation. Recorded in 1968, Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” – a 17-minute-plus psychedelic dirge, featuring a haunting minor-key drone along with extended guitar, organ and drum solos – set the template for heavy rock music for decades to come. The single – in an edited for radio, a two-minute, 52-second version – reached No. 30 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and the album, also titled “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard album charts, eventually selling more than 25 million copies. It was the first album to be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
