Bat Out of Hell is the debut studio album by American rock singer Meat Loaf, released on October 21, 1977. The album is a grandiose and theatrical rock opera, known for its bombastic sound, powerful vocals, and epic storytelling.
"Bat Out of Hell" features a collection of epic rock anthems, blending elements of classic rock, hard rock, and pop. The album's tracks are characterized by their larger-than-life arrangements and Jim Steinman's dramatic songwriting.
"Bat Out of Hell" was a massive commercial success and performed exceptionally well on the Billboard charts. It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200 chart. However, the album's true success came in its long-lasting popularity and its journey to become one of the best-selling albums of all time.
The album's lead single, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," became a significant hit, reaching number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another successful single from the album was the iconic title track, "Bat Out of Hell."
Bat Out of Hell has spawned two Meat Loaf sequel albums: Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose.
