WOLFGANG VAN HALEN’s Band MAMMOTH WVH Shares Lyric Video For “Mammoth”

Wolfgang Van Halen has released the official lyric video for the song “Mammoth” from his solo band, MAMMOTH WVH. The track will appear on MAMMOTH WVH‘s self-titled debut album, due on June 11 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records.

“Mammoth” is the sixth song to be released from the upcoming LP. The track is available via all digital service providers today, and fans who pre-order the record digitally will get an instant download of the song along with the previously released “Distance”, “You’re To Blame”, “Don’t Back Down”, “Think It Over” and “Feel”.

The video for “Don’t Back Down” reached over one million views the week it was released. It showcases Wolfgang Van Halen performing the song on all of the instruments — something he did throughout the entire debut album. It also illustrates his lighthearted side that fans following him on social media have already experienced.

Writing all of the songs and performing all of the instrumentation and vocals for the debut album, Wolfgang Van Halen set out to establish his own musical identity. From the rocking opening guitar riff on album opener “Mr. Ed” to the driving bass and drums on album closer “Stone”, MAMMOTH WVH showcases the various musical influences that have inspired Wolfgang. Songs like “Resolve”, “The Big Picture” and “Think It Over” are all sonically different from each other but unique to what MAMMOTH WVH is. MAMMOTH WVH made its television performance debuts of the first single “Distance” in February as an electric performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and an exclusive acoustic arrangement on NBC‘s “Today”.

The current single “Distance” – the song written as a tribute to his father and guitar icon Eddie Van Halen – is another side of Mammoth WVH and is currently #3 at Active Rock Radio. The emotional video has been viewed 4 million times on YouTube. The song was not originally intended to be on the debut album, but due to the overwhelming response, it has been added as a bonus track. All of Wolfgang’s proceeds from “Distance” are being donated to Mr. Holland’s Opus.
