Iron Butterfly With Pinera & Rhino – Metamorphosis (Vinyl LP, 1970, ATCO Records SD 33-339, Pitman Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Metamorphosis marked a lineup expansion for Iron Butterfly with guitarists Mike Pinera and El Rhino joining Doug Ingle, Lee Dorman, and Ron Bushy. Produced by Richard Podolor, the album moves between psychedelic and progressive rock and culminates with the 14-minute “Butterfly Bleu.” It represents the band’s evolving sound during its post-In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida period.
