The self-titled debut album from Mammoth WVH is now available worldwide via EX1 Records/Explorer1 Music Group. Wolfgang Van Halen talks up the album in a new interview with Steve Baltin for Forbes. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Baltin: When you go back and listen to this record as a complete work what do you take from it?

Van Halen: "I've never been this proud of anything in my life. I've never worked harder on anything in my life and I'm very proud I was able to pull this off and make a cohesive thing playing it all on my own."

Baltin: Do you hear a through line in this record?

Van Halen: "Yeah, there are certainly moments. That was what was so helpul about having my producer, Elvis Baskette. He kind of helped me because like you said when you're doing it you can't really see the forest from the trees. But having him there really helped me make sure I was going in the right direction. Yeah, I could definitely hear that thought process throughout the record. It's just really me wanting to be myself is the main thing."

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.
