The debut album, "Mammoth WVH," was released on 11 June 2021, followed by "Mammoth II" in 2023. The project was founded and fronted by Wolfgang Van Halen, son of Eddie Van Halen, and the band’s name references both his initials and the early band of his father and uncle Alex prior to the formation of Van Halen. Initially conceived as a solo project while Wolfgang was still a member of Van Halen, Mammoth became his full-time focus following his father’s death in 2020. The name was chosen in tribute to Eddie’s original band Mammoth, and Wolfgang obtained legal rights to the name after receiving his father’s approval.

Known for their large physical stature and powerful sound, the band toured with Whitesnake and Marillion and gained a following despite limited commercial success.
