The day has finally come as the self-titled debut by Mammoth WVH is now available worldwide via EX1 Records/ Explorer1 Music Group. The record - from its creative mastermind Wolfgang Van Halen - showcases the incredible musicianship and songwriting of Wolfgang as he plays every instrument and sings every vocal on the record. Fans have been able to experience the direction of the album through the six previously released tracks: “Distance,” “You’re To Blame,” “Don’t Back Down,” “Think It Over,” “Feel” and “Mammoth.“ The band just released a live video of the current Top 15 Rock single “Don’t Back Down” that showcases the live band Wolfgang has assembled to bring the debut album to life. Supporting Wolfgang – who will handle guitar and vocals live – is guitarists Frank Sidoris and Jon Jourdan, bassist Ronnie Ficarro and drummer Garrett Whitlock. The live performance video for “Don’t Back Down” can be seen here: http://found.ee/DontBackDownLive. Mammoth WVH is now available via all physical and digital retailers or via the band’s online store here: https://found.ee/MammothWVH.
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 their television performance debuts of the first single “Distance” last month as an electric performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and an exclusive acoustic arrangement on NBC News TODAY.
It was also recently announced that Wolfgang Van Halen would host his own radio show for SiriusXM’s Classic Rewind (Channel 25). Wolfgang Van Halen’s Top Of The Pack is a monthly salute to Classic Rock’s biggest and best. Wolf will play and talk about his most-admired Classic Rock songs, album and artists, often presented thematically. More info on the show can be found here.
“I am so excited to have the opportunity to host my own radio show on Classic Rewind (Channel 25) for SiriusXM. The Top Of The Pack is something that I want to be fun for the listener. It gives me an opportunity to share some classic rock favorites that we all love as well as some unexpected surprises and even a few personal favorites from all eras. It is a huge honor to have this time to share with the listeners and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.”

About Mammoth WVH:
First impressions last a lifetime. Wolfgang Van Halen has prepared a lifetime to make his first impression with his solo band Mammoth WVH. The songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist worked tirelessly on material that would become his self-titled debut album – now available via EX1 Records as a part of his partnership with Explorer1 Music Group. Playing every instrument and singing each and every note, his music presents a personal and powerful perspective, balancing memorable hooks and tight technicality. As many times as audiences have experienced his talent alongside the likes of Tremonti, Clint Lowery, and of course, Van Halen, Wolfgang prepares to step into the spotlight with his own brand - Mammoth WVH - for the very first time now.
