About Mammoth WVH:
With his solo band Mammoth WVH, Wolfgang Van Halen consistently challenges himself as a songwriter, vocalist,
multi-instrumentalist, and producer. After a monumental breakthrough – with a GRAMMY® Award nomination for
his first-ever single, #1 debuts on multiple charts, television performances, and sold out shows over a two-year span
– Mammoth WVH’s self-titled debut sent shockwaves through 21st century rock music.
Mammoth WVH bowed at #1 on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart, Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, and Top
Rock Albums Chart in addition to crashing the Billboard 200 at #12. He notched two #1 one entries at Rock Radio
with “Don’t Back Down” and “Distance.” The latter also garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of
“Best Rock Song.” He appeared on The Howard Stern Show, NBC News TODAY, Jimmy Kimmel Live and on the cover
of Guitar World where they dubbed him Guitarist Of The Year. Loudwire cited Mammoth WVH as one of “The 45
Best Rock + Metal Albums of 2021,” while Classic Rock rated it “4-out-of-5 stars” and People proclaimed, “With
Mammoth WVH’s head-banging tracks and personal lyrics, Wolfgang successfully introduces himself as his own
person.” The band supported Guns N’ Roses in stadiums stateside and Alter Bridge in arenas across the pond, while
also headlining coast-to-coast in North America. Not to mention, he lit up the stage at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute
Concerts in London and Los Angeles at the invitation of Dave Grohl himself.
Instead of choosing to settle on his breakout success, he consciously tested himself to further develop his sound
from every angle on his second full-length offering, Mammoth II [BMG]. Coming out swinging, the hooks hit harder,
the riffs roar louder, and the lyrics cut deeper as he delivers an urgent, undeniable, and unforgettable 10-song body
of work.
