Wolfgang Van Halen has added dozens of 2024 headlining dates to his busy concert schedule as he continues to promote his second album, recording as Mammoth WVH. The new LP, Mammoth II, arrived Aug. 4, 2023, via BMG. The musician turned 32 on March 16. The 10-track album was recorded at the legendary 5150 studio, and produced by friend and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette. The son of Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli got married to Andraia Allsop at their home in Los Angeles on October 15.
From the March 22 album announcement: Continuing the tradition of writing all of the songs and performing all of the instrumentation and vocals himself, Wolfgang Van Halen set out to challenge himself to expand his sound beyond what people had already come to know him for.
The debut single from Mammoth II was the upbeat rocker “Another Celebration at the End of the World.” “The song 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,” he explains.
Watch him perform the song up close in 2023
The music video for the track is an 8:25 introduction to the Mammoth WVH live band. It showcases a frustrated Wolfgang firing “other” Wolfgangs and replacing them with his live band featuring Frank Sidoris (guitars), Jon Jourdan (guitars), Ronnie Ficarro (Bass) and Garrett Whitlock (drums). The video was directed by Gordy De St. Jeor.
Mammoth WVH is touring around the globe in support of Mammoth II. They’ll be making various festival appearances around the globe as well as headline stops going in to 2024.
“I’m Alright” is a favorite, a rocker featuring a driving drumbeat, a hypnotic piano riff and a blistering guitar solo that features his uncle – Patrick Bertinelli – on wah pedal operation.
