Eddie had great faith in his son’s talent, inviting Wolfgang to join Van Halen (2006-2020). Following his father’s untimely death in 2020 and the dissolution of Van Halen, 31-year-old Wolfgang focused on his own band. Initially Mammoth WVH started out as a solo project but he has since stated that he considers the current line-up a full-fledged band. Both their debut album and live shows met with a favourable reception and in 2021, their single ‘Distance’ picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. Wolfgang once again handled all writing, vocals and instrumentation on the new album ‘The End’ (2025), reaffirming his insane talent for crafting catchy, guitar-fuelled anthems that he usually creates from the drums up. ‘The End’ is anything but, and in the years to come it’ll be exciting to see where his inspiration takes us because when it comes to music, this guy can do pretty much anything he puts his mind to.
