The End is the third studio album by American rock band Mammoth. As with the band's previous releases, Mammoth WVH (2021) and Mammoth II (2023), all writing, vocals, and instrumentation were handled solely by Wolfgang Van Halen. The album was released through I Am the Sheriff and BMG Rights Management on October 24, 2025.
In an interview on KDVV/V100 radio in February 2024, Wolfgang confirmed that he had begun "working on some preliminary sort of" the third Mammoth album, with a working title of Mammoth III. [1] All writing, vocals, and instrumentation—including guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards—were performed by Wolfgang. Recording took place at 5150 Studios in Studio City, Los Angeles, with Michael "Elvis" Baskette returning as producer. Van Halen noted a change in how he recorded his parts for the upcoming album:
In the past, I would use Logic Pro to sit there and type out a drum part with MIDI drums and then play guitar to it. This time, I was able to play guitar in the moment, run out, and play drums. It was way more fun to sit at the kit and perform what naturally came to me. Doing these parts back to back in real time was a game changer. [2]
The process concluded by mid-2025, prior to the release of the lead single "The End" on May 1, 2025. [3]
The first single "The End", was released on May 1, 2025. [4] A second single, "The Spell", was released on July 9, 2025. On the same day, the band officially announced their third studio album, The End, scheduled for release on October 24, 2025. The album is set to be released through I Am the Sheriff and BMG Rights Management. [2] A third and final single, "I Really Wanna", was released on September 10, 2025. [5]
The album was generally well received by critics. MetalInsider called it "a masterpiece … pure rock and roll at its finest" and said Wolfgang "has out-done himself." [6] Loudersound (Classic Rock) said he "adds another compelling entry to a remarkable résumé." [7] Moshville noted that while the title "may be ominous … it really sounds like Van Halen is just getting started," [8] praising the growth and evolution displayed across the record. Kerrang! pointed to the album’s strong delivery but mentioned that occasionally the songs "swim similar strokes" and that listeners might "wish he’d push the songs a bit further." [9]
All tracks are written by Wolfgang Van Halen.
