Wolfgang Van Halen is working on his second Mammoth WVH album.

In a new interview, Van Halen talked about the project, which will be called, “Mammoth II” and said he used his dad’s guitar on the recordings.

“I think the most fun little detail about that [is] the one moment I recorded on the album with my Dad’s original Frankenstein guitar. And not just the guitar, but the original Marshall head that he used for the original Van Halen albums, and one of the original cabs,” Mammoth explained.

“It was basically everything he used for those original classic albums, and you can hear that on certain bends.” Mammoth continued, “It’s kind of crazy; there are certain notes where it’s like ‘Wow, that sounds like Van Halen I’.”

Mammoth II will be released on August 4, 2023. Wolfgang shared the album’s first single “Another Celebration at the End of the World”.
