Wolfgang Van Halen has just released a new track with his project Mammoth WVH ahead of their upcoming tour dates. “Like a Pastime” is the second single from the upcoming album, Mammoth II, (out August 4th) and features Van Halen on bass, guitar, drums, and vocals.

“It centers around a 4/4-time signature, but with a polyrhythm on top. 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 favorites and a completely different vibe than anything on the first album,” he explains.

Check out the song here:

Mammoth WVH’s live band features Wolfgang on vocals, guitars, and keyboards alongside guitarists Frank Sidoris and Jon Jourdan, drummer Garrett Whitlock, and bassist Ronnie Ficarro. Together they’ll support Metallica for the European run of the M72 World Tour. They’ll also be on the road with Alter Bridge, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue throughout the summer.
