Steppenwolf is a Canadian-American rock band formed in late 1967 in Los Angeles. Known for their heavy blues-rock sound with elements of hard rock and psychedelia, the group achieved significant success with fourteen albums charting on the Billboard 200. They are best remembered for their iconic singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride", both of which reached high positions on the Billboard Hot 100. The phrase "heavy metal" is believed to have entered the lexicon of music critics through the lyrics of "Born to Be Wild." Steppenwolf remains a key influence in the development of hard rock and heavy metal genres.
