Wolfgang Van Halen Preps New Mammoth WVH Album & Plots ‘Another Celebration At The End Of The World’

Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth project will issue a new album, Mammoth II, on August 4 via BMG. Wolfgang previewed the record with the single “Another Celebration at the End of the World.”

Mammoth II is the sophomore effort for Wolfgang Van Halen, son of the late Eddie Van Halen, following Mammoth WVH’s 2021 eponymous solo debut album. As he did with the first LP, Wolfgang handled all the instrumentation on Mammoth II, which he cut at 5150 Studios in Los Angeles with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette.

Wolfgang Van Halen detailed the new album, single and how the latter might fit into Mammoth WVH’s live sets:

“I knew that I wanted the new album to contain elements of what people heard on the debut, but also giving me a chance to branch out a bit. ‘Another Celebration at the End of the World’ is definitely a song that showcases what people can expect from the new album. It is a high-energy rocker with some fun guitar moments on it. I also pushed myself vocally and it is a song I can’t wait to get out and play live. I can see it being a fixture in our live set moving forward.”

​​The video for “Another Celebration at the End of the World” also serves as an introduction of sorts for Mammoth WVH’s live lineup. The visual picks up where Wolfgang’s “Don't Back Down” video left off with “multiple” Wolfgangs trying (but failing) to play the song. Enter Mammoth WVH’s live lineup of drummer Garrett Whitlock, bassist Ronnie Ficarro and guitarists Frank Sidoris and Jon Jourdan.
