Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth, who appear to dropped the 'WVH' part of their name, are back with a new single, their first since 2023's Mammoth II album. The End is a rocket-powered blast of modern rock with an intro that finds Van Halen conjuring up the spirit of his late father with some furious finger-tapping.
“I’ve had the tapping idea on the intro for The End since before Mammoth," says Van Halen. "I was able to fit it into this world. It’s still over-the-top and shreddy, but it’s also melodic and controlled. Overall, I was doing some different things on the record, and I knew this was going to be a big step. Once we finished The End, it felt really special to me."
