Back in the early/mid 90s I had just bought Death Spiritual Healing, Malevolent Creation Ten Commandments, and Nocturnus The Key from a video rental place in my home town.
Me and a buddy listened to all of the metal I just got and decided to see what else we could find. Then we saw it, it had to be the holy grail of heavy metal! There was a motorcycle blasting out of hell and this awesome bat in the background. The album was Bat Out of Hell and the band was so metal their name was Meatloaf! This was going to be soul crushingly heavy…
-
Well, you were lucky anyway, MeatLoaf fucking rules
-
When you are expecting something along the lines of the other tapes I had just got, Meatloaf is weak sauce.
-
It's just different, but he certainly didn't lack energy
-
there are some Nick Cave tracks with acoustic guitar and violin that are more intense, imo, than Meshuggah etc
e.g. John Finn's Wife, Papa Won't Leave You Henry, Stagger Lee.

That's a good fucking album though. Bat Out of Hell II: Bat Back Into Hell fucking sucked, though I will admit liking his version of a particular song more than Celine Dion's version.

Bat Out of Hell
Banger album tbh. Plus, not many artists make something like that.

Thanks for causing me to listen to this album again!
