In Through the Out Door is the eighth and final studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin.[2] It was recorded in three weeks in November and December 1978 at ABBA's Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and released by their label Swan Song Records on 22 August 1979 in the US[1] and 24 August 1979 in the UK.[3][4]
Unlike earlier Led Zeppelin albums, In Through the Out Door was dominated musically by John Paul Jones and Robert Plant, partly because Jimmy Page and John Bonham were frequently absent from meetings and recording sessions due to heroin addiction and alcohol abuse, respectively.[5] It was the band's last release before the death of their drummer John Bonham in September 1980 and their disbandment three months later.
The album was a huge commercial success; it went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in its second week on the American chart. It also went to No. 1 in the UK, Canada, and New Zealand.
