Meat Loaf’s Bat out of Hell has sold over 43 million copies worldwide, making it one of the highest selling albums of all time – but that was eons ago. Currently, Meat Loaf is recording his new record at Rob Cavallo’s studio in California. Rob Cavallo who recently produced the new Paramore and Dave Matthews album said of the Meat Loaf album, “This record’s going to shock people in terms of his musical style. It’s got all of the drama of a Meatloaf record, but it’s totally contemporary.”
