New music from Mammoth is here, after the band and Wolfgang Van Halen spent the week teasing fans with a countdown across socials. Now we have "The End," another scorching eruption of Rock, featuring furious fretwork and another sky-high solo. Here to talk about it is the man himself for an Audacy Check In with Abe Kanan.

"I had this idea a while back and I felt like maybe it was a little too over the top, but then I came back to it and I thought it would be fun to try and make it into a song," WVH shares about the blistering new song. "It was a fun little process. It's a tough thing to balance where it's like the centerpiece of the song is this sort of soloy thing, but I think the aggressiveness and the over-the-topness of it is sort of what makes it so exciting."

The guitar is all the way in Rock and beyond, with Wolfgang leading the charge in a lot of ways, even if he's reluctant to embrace that role himself. "I think, even in Pop, you see, they have full bands with guitar and everything. It's definitely on its way back for sure, you know, comparatively to where it was say 10 years ago."

Not able to divulge much about Mammoth's upcoming 3rd album, the excitement is obvious when hearing WVH talk about new music. "I'm very excited with the direction that everything's headed in for sure."
