Our Take

IRON BUTTERFLY have returned with their latest album "Scorching Beauty/Sun And Steel", and boy, does it sizzle hotter than a summer barbecue! The legendary rock band brings their signature psychedelic sound to the forefront, with trippy guitar riffs and mind-bending solos that will transport you straight back to the groovy days of the 60s.

"Scorching Beauty" kicks things off with a bang, featuring funky basslines and infectious hooks that will have you tapping your feet in no time. The title track is a head-banging anthem that showcases the band's raw energy and musical prowess, while tracks like "High On A Mountain Top" and "Searchin' Circles" delve into deeper, introspective themes that will have you pondering the meaning of life.

But don't let the introspection fool you - IRON BUTTERFLY still know how to rock out with tracks like "Pearly Gates" and "I'm Right, I'm Wrong", which showcase their versatility and ability to keep audiences on their toes. The album's closer, "Sun And Steel", is a fitting end to this cosmic journey, with its epic guitar solos and powerful vocals leaving you craving more.

Overall, "Scorching Beauty/Sun And Steel" is a masterclass in psychedelic rock, showcasing IRON BUTTERFLY's enduring talent and ability to captivate audiences with their unique sound. So grab your lava lamp, kick back, and let IRON BUTTERFLY take you on a cosmic journey through time and space. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Iron Butterfly

Iron Butterfly, the legendary American rock band, is not your average group of musicians. Formed in 1966, this psychedelic rock outfit burst onto the music scene with their groundbreaking debut album, "Heavy." Known for their epic song lengths and trippy soundscapes, Iron Butterfly quickly became a staple of the late 60s counterculture movement. Fronted by the charismatic Doug Ingle, the band's iconic lineup also included Ron Bushy on drums, Lee Dorman on bass, and Erik Brann on guitar. Together, these four musicians created a sound that was both revolutionary and timeless. From the iconic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" to the haunting "Iron Butterfly Theme," their music has stood the test of time. Iron Butterfly's live performances were legendary for their energy and intensity. With their powerful instrumentation and mind-bending visuals, they wowed audiences around the world. Whether you were a die-hard fan or a casual observer, a live show from Iron Butterfly was an experience you wouldn't soon forget. Despite their success, Iron Butterfly's career was not without its ups and downs. Like many bands of their era, they faced personal and professional challenges along the way. However, their music remains as relevant and influential today as it was over 50 years ago. In conclusion, Iron Butterfly is a band that truly defies categorization. With their unique blend of rock, psychedelia, and experimentalism, they have carved out a permanent place in the annals of music history. So next time you're in the mood for some mind-expanding tunes, why not give Iron Butterfly a spin? You won't be disappointed.
