Mammoth WVH Premiere “Another Celebration At The End Of The World” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Mammoth WVH have premiered a new video for their new song “Another Celebration At The End Of The World.” This track is from the band’s new album “Mammoth II,” which will be released on August 4. Wolfgang Van Halen commented:

“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.”

“Mammoth II” Track Listing:

01. “Right?”
02. “Like A Pastime”
03. “Another Celebration At The End Of The World”
04. “Miles Above Me”
05. “Take A Bow”
06. “Optimist”
07. “I’m Alright”
08. “Erase Me”
09. “Waiting”
10. “Better Than You”

Wolfgang Van Halen Says Mammoth WVH’s New Album Will Have “Some Meshuggah-Inspired Songs”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a 2022 interview TellUs Rock, Wolfgang Van Halen revealed that Meshuggah inspired some of the material on Mammoth WVH’s new album. He said the following about that when asked what kind of music he listens to:

“Meshuggah. I love Meshuggah. I tend to listen to, at least recently, more heavier music. Like all the new stuff that’s come out. Animals As Leaders had a new album come out this year, and so did Meshuggah. But Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands. [They’re] nothing like Mammoth. On the next album, there actually is some Meshuggah-inspired songs — just through the lens of Mammoth, though. So it’s not as super heavy.”

Mammoth WVH Sign With BMG

Posted by caemanamelio on

Wolfgang Van Halen has signed a new deal with BMG for his next Mammoth WVH album. Further details regarding that effort are still pending.

Wolfgang commented:

“The Mammoth team and I are so excited to now be a part of the BMG family. The entire team have welcomed us with open arms and have been nothing short of wonderful. I couldn’t ask for better partners for the future of Mammoth.”

Dan Gill, BMG EVP, recorded music, continued:

“It is rare to come across an artist with such exceptional musical abilities and Wolfgang is that shining example. His new album firmly establishes himself at the forefront of the genre and is destined to become the torch bearer for the new generation of rock artists.”

Emi Horikawa, BMG VP, creative, added:

“From our very first listen to Mammoth WVH, we knew this was something truly exceptional. Wolfgang’s songwriting and sense of melody, coupled with his ability to reinvent the elements of rock’s power and energy, is sheer talent. We are proud to represent his music publishing and now call BMG his label home.”

Wolfgang Van Halen Says Mammoth WVH’s New Album Is “Almost Finished”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Total Guitar, Wolfgang Van Halen offered an update on the new Mammoth WVH album. According to him, the effort is “almost finished.”

Wolfgang said the following about the album and his ability to take on all of the parts himself:

“Yeah, I’ve almost finished it! Some people try to turn me playing everything into a negative thing, which surprises me. It’s like they think I won’t let other people play on it or something like that. But really this is what Mammoth is and always has been; it’s my artistic expression.

I’ve been in bands before where you collaborate and that’s not what this is. I have a live band, but in the studio I do everything and have a fun time doing it. I enjoy being able to express myself musically in every avenue.”

He also added the following about the effort’s sound:

“It will always sound a bit similar, I guess, because the same dude is writing it. But I think on this current material, you can hear me challenging myself a bit more. I’ve gotten more confident and I know what the project is now, rather than trying to figure out what it was from the start, like on the first one.

On the debut there was this width of what the project was — on the left you had songs like ‘Distance’ and ‘Circles’, those softer vibes, and on the right you had tracks like ‘Stone’ and ‘The Big Picture’. In the middle, there were songs like ‘Mammoth’ or ‘Epiphany’ and stuff like that. What I want to do with this album is widen what that breadth is. Further left, for example, there’s a song that’s all on piano… so it has more of a softer vibe. But on the right, there’s some really heavy shit in comparison to the debut. That’s what I find really exciting. It’s fun to stretch the definition of Mammoth on both sides.”

Wolfgang Van Halen On Mammoth WVH: “I’ve Already Recorded The Bulk Of The Next Album”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Overdrive, Wolfgang Van Halen offered an update on the new Mammoth WVH album. He says that he has “already recorded the bulk” of the effort.

Wolfgang said the following:

“I’ve already recorded the bulk of the next album. The plan was to just focus, and try to do the best that I can do. After all, that’s what made the first album work, so I’m looking to try to capture that ethos again for the follow-up. Basically, I just write music that follows my heart, and my tastes, and ultimately, music that makes me happy.”

He also added the following about the recording process:

“I need to go home and do the vocals and the guitar solos. I am recording this album totally on my own, like I did with the debut. I know it may come across as selfish [laughs], but that’s just the way that it works for me. I like to completely immersive myself in the music — in all aspects of it. I think a lot of people have tried to turn it into something else, saying things like, ‘Oh it’s because he doesn’t want to pay other musicians,’ and it’s not that at all. This is just something for me. It’s a sacred experience for me. It’s my project, and an artistic outlet for me and my mental well-being. I’m so luck that I have this incredible live band that just slays live, so I get to bring this creation to life on stage. I suppose, it’s kind of like NINE INCH NAILS, in the way that Trent Reznor creates all the music, records it, produces it, et cetera, and then he has this band that can bring it to life when needed. I’m not comparing myself to Trent, but it’s more the interesting duality to this approach, which is so much fun, and deeply satisfying.”

Mammoth WVH “About Halfway Through” Recording Process For New Album

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Metal Talk, Wolfgang Van Halen offered an update on the new Mammoth WVH album. He said the following:

“I’m about halfway through [the recording process]. I got a bunch of stuff recorded before we started on this tour. And then once I go home, I’ll have a little holiday break, but then in January I’m gonna finish it. So it’ll be ready to be released some time next year.”

Metallica To Release New Album “72 Seasons” In April, Announce Tour With Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch, Etc.

Posted by caemanamelio on

Metallica will be releasing a new album, titled “72 Seasons,” on April 14. A video for the effort’s first single, “Lux Æterna,” can be found below:

“72 Seasons” Track Listing:

01. “72 Seasons”
02. “Shadows Follow”
03. “Screaming Suicide”
04. “Sleepwalk My Life Away”
05. “You Must Burn!”
06. “Lux Æterna”
07. “Crown Of Barbed Wire”
08. “Chasing Light”
09. “If Darkness Had A Son”
10. “Too Far Gone?”
11. “Room Of Mirrors”
12. “Inamorata”

James Hetfield commented

“72 seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry.”
