The End will be available this fall
Mammoth (formerly Mammoth WVH), the band led by Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Wolfgang Van Halen, will release its third album, The End, on October 24th via BMG. The ten-track effort clocks in at 39 minutes and showcases the evolution of Wolfgang and his songwriting since he launched his solo career in 2020. Recorded at the legendary 5150 studio, the album was produced by friend and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette.
The album will be available in multiple configurations, including limited-edition vinyl colors, a signed insert version, and retailer exclusives.
Continuing the tradition of writing all the songs and performing all the instrumentation and vocals himself, Wolfgang Van Halen set out to challenge himself beyond what he did on his debut and sophomore release, Mammoth II. From the hypnotic opening of “One Of A Kind” to the infectious closer “All In Good Time”, Wolfgang demonstrates his proficiency as a musician and songwriter. Songs like “Same Old Song,” “Happy,” and “Selfish” will fit perfectly alongside older songs that fans have already come to love from the group.
Mammoth released their first single from “The End,” the LP’s title track, in May, and it has shot up the charts, currently in the Top 5 at active rock radio. The success of the single was propelled by the landmark music video, which is nearing four million views.
To coincide with the album announcement, Mammoth has released the track “The Spell” for fans to check out. A performance music video showing Wolfgang playing all the instruments and directed by visual collaborator Gordy De St. Jeor is also available.
This fall, Mammoth will headline The End Tour, kicking off on October 31st. The five-week run will make stops in Las Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, and others, before wrapping on December 7th. Longtime friend Myles Kennedy will be the special guest on the run.
Mammoth’s touring lineup features Wolfgang on guitar and lead vocals, Frank Sidoris of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators on guitar, Jon Jourdan on guitar and vocals, Tremonti’s Garrett Whitlock on drums, and Ronnie Ficarro on bass.
In 2021, Mammoth’s first offering, Mammoth WVH, took flight, bowing at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and capturing No. 1 on three Billboard charts—Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Independent Albums, and Top Rock Albums. “Distance” soared as the first of two No. 1 rock radio hits and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Song. Two years later, Mammoth II only saw him pick up the pace. It debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart in addition to bringing him back to No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. Wolfgang pushes forward on Mammoth’s third full-length LP with further details to be announced.
