Wolfgang Van Halen and Mammoth unplug for Apple Music Radio

Wolfgang Van Halen and his touring band Mammoth delivered an acoustic performance of “The Spell” during a recent appearance on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music Radio.

The song was the third single from the band’s latest album, “The End”, which was recorded with friend and collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette at the legendary 5150 studio.

The project was Wolfgang continue the tradition of writing all the songs and performing all the instrumentation and vocals himself – as he did previously on his debut, and sophomore release, “Mammoth II.”

The live Mammoth lineup – Wolfgang with guitarists Jon Jourdan and Frank Sidoris, bassist Ronnie Ficarro, and drummer Garrett Whitlock – launched its first headlining dates of 2026 earlier this month, where they are joined by openers 10 Years and James and the Cold Gun.

Mammoth will then continue its road trip opening for Bush for two months when they team up in Pittsburgh, PA on April 7.
