Biography
Jim Steinman (1947–2021) was an American composer, lyricist, and producer, famous for his bombastic, operatic rock style. He wrote Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell albums and worldwide hits such as Total Eclipse of the Heart. For musical theatre he provided the music for Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires, 1997), based on Roman Polanski's film, which became an enduring success in the German-speaking world. Steinman's Wagnerian-charged rock established a distinctive sonic aesthetic between pop and musical.
