American psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly has reformed and is in the process of making a new studio album. Guitarist Mike Pinera (Alice Cooper), who joined Iron Butterfly in 1969, after In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was released, revealed the news of the band's comeback in a recent interview with blogger Jeff Cramer.

Mike Pinera said: "I'll let you in on a little scoop. We just reformed Iron Butterfly with some original members. A lot of the guys died. Ron Bushy, the original drummer and founder of the band, and myself, and Doug Ingle, Jr. [son of original Iron Butterfly vocalist Doug Ingle]. [Doug Ingle, Jr.] sounds just like Doug and looks just like Doug."

Asked if Doug Ingle, Jr. is playing keyboards and singing like his father, Pinera said: "Yeah. We've got a new bass player. We've got some shows that we're going to do... We plan to tour a lot as Iron Butterfly and we're making a new album."

Iron Butterfly has been inactive since the passing of bassist Lee Dorman, who died on December 21, 2012 at the age of 70.
