Mammoth WVH has dropped, "Take A Bow," the third single from the band's sophomore album, Mammoth II due out on August 4th. Blabbermouth reported the 10-track album, which was co-produced by Wolfgang Van Halen and Michael "Elvis" Baskett, and was recorded at Eddie Van Halen's legendary 5150 studio in Los Angeles.
Not too long ago, we chatted with Wolfgang Van Halen, and he shed light on why he chose to nick Van Halen's pre-fame moniker for his own — and how he always planned on recording his first album: ["All I knew is that from a young age, whenever my dad would tell me the story that Van Halen was called Mammoth before, and it was a three-piece and my father played guitar and sang — I was, like, 'God, the name Mammoth is such a cool name, I wanna name my band that when I grow up.' And then the other half was I really wanted to see if I could play everything myself, like Dave Grohl did on the first Foo Fighter album. And so, it was nice to be on this side of it, and be, like, 'I did it' (laughs)."] SOUNDCUE (:24 OC: . . . I did it)
Mammoth WVH performs tonight (June 28th) at Lisboa, Portugal's Evil Live Festival 2023.
The band will serve as Metallica's special guests during their North American summer run.
