Legacy Recordings is proud to announce the stateside release of HELL IN A HANDBASKET, the new full-length studio album from MEAT LOAF, the iconic frontman whose 1977 breakout album, Bat Out Of Hell, defined the arena rock genre and remains as one of the world’s five top-selling albums of all-time, with more than 43 million copies sold to date.
Meat Loaf’s new album, Hell In A Handbasket, will be available everywhere on Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

“Hell In A Handbasket is the most personal record I’ve ever made,” said Meat Loaf. “It’s really the first record I’ve ever put out about how I feel about life and how I feel about what’s going on at the moment.” The album, produced by Paul Crook, is an expression of life’s metaphors, driven by excellent musicianship, and of course, the passionate vocals of Meat Loaf. “Making this album was a great experience,” said Meat Loaf, “and I hope my fans enjoy hearing it as much as I did making it.”
