MAMMOTH WVH SET TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ON JUNE 11TH VIA EX1 RECORDS
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
First Single “Distance” Currently #3 On The US Active Rock Charts As Band Scheduled To Perform The Song On Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tonight And On NBC News’ TODAY On February 19th
The long-awaited debut album from Mammoth WVH now has a scheduled release date. The self-titled album will be available worldwide on June 11th via EX1 Records/Explorer1 Music Group. A pre-order for Mammoth WVH in various configurations - including exclusive colour vinyl as well as limited autographed copies via the band’s online store - can be found here: https://found.ee/MammothWVH.
Fans that pre-order the album digitally will receive instant downloads of the chart-topping single “Distance” and the Howard Stern premiered the track “You’re To Blame.” Both tracks will be available via all global digital streaming partners as well.
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.
The current single “Distance” – the song written as a tribute to his father and guitar icon Eddie Van Halen - is another side of Mammoth WVH and is currently #3 at US Active Rock Radio, and can be heard on UK airwaves via Planet Rock Radio, BBC Radio 2, and Kerrang! Radio, amongst others. The emotional video has been viewed nearly 4 million times on YouTube and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/HI3aPJkZmNU. The song was not originally intended to be on the debut album, but due to the overwhelming response, it has been added as a bonus track. All of Wolfgang’s proceeds from “Distance” are being donated to Mr. Holland’s Opus.
