Wolfgang Van Halen‘s MAMMOTH WVH have released a lyric video Like A Pastime, the second single from upcoming album Mammoth II.
It follows in the sonic footsteps of March release Another Celebration At The End Of The World, and is backboned by a driving rhythm that takes MAMMOTH WVH to places it hasn’t been before.
“It centres around a 4/4-time signature, but with a polyrhythm on top,” explains Wolfgang. “I was teaching my fiancé what a polyrhythm is, and I stumbled upon this idea. The kick drums are accentuating it. It’s certainly one of my favourites and a completely different vibe than anything on the first album.”
Mammoth II will be released on August 4 and promises to be the highlight of a very busy summer for Wolfgang and the band, as a lengthy run of shows in Europe is followed by another in North America. The schedule is a mix of headline dates, festival appearances, and support slots with METALLICA and with MOTLEY CRUE and DEF LEPPARD on the European leg of their Stadium Tour. Full dates below.
