Out of the Cellar is the debut
studio album by the American
heavy metal band
Ratt. Released in 1984, it was an immediate success, with wide airplay on radio and heavy rotation on
MTV of its singles, especially the decade-defining "
Round and Round". The album is certified as triple platinum by the
RIAA. The album brought Ratt, originally from
San Diego, California, to the top of the glam metal scene in
Los Angeles. Ratt's later work would never surpass the success of
Out of the Cellar.
