  • Godthrymm Offer Up Latest Single “The Sun Never Fell”

    godthrymm_band

    With their new album Projections coming out on May 29, British doom metal outfit Godthrymm shared a new single, titled “The Sun Never Fell”.

    The new album is being positioned as the finale to the band’s Visions trilogy, which started back with the release of 2020’s Reflections and was followed up by 2023’s Distortions. Of course, the band’s penchant for doom metal stems from the fact that frontman Hamish Glencross and Shaun Taylor-Steels are former My Dying Bride members.

    Speaking of Glencross, he said the new track serves as a reminder of the band’s ability to write huge, plodding doom metal.

    “We present ‘The Sun Never Fell’ as our second single from Projections, as it showcases the more grandiose epic sound of the band full of vocal harmonies, layer upon layer of instrumentation and massive riffs. The song strives to shine light through crushing darkness, with hope leading out of despair.”

    Projections will be released on May 29 via Profound Lore Records, but you can preorder your copy today.

    Projections Track Listing:

    1. Trenches Deep [Feat. Adie Bailey and Jay Walsh]
    2. Truth In My Own
    3. The Sun Never Fell
    4. Endure My Skin [Feat. Aaron Stainthorpe]
    5. Jewels
    6. Hope Is Eternal

  • MAMMOTH RELOADED: Wolfgang Van Halen Announces Summer 2026 “The End” Headline Tour Dates

    mammoth-wolfgang-van-halen-the-end

    Wolfgang Van Halen is officially keeping the pedal to the floor. The Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist has just announced a fresh slate of U.S. headline dates for his band Mammoth, extending “The End” tour through the summer of 2026.

    While already tapped as the primary support for Creed’s massive “Summer of ’99” revival, Wolfgang is carving out his own path with 18 high-intensity shows that prove Mammoth is no longer just a “legacy” curiosity—they are a headlining powerhouse in their own right. From legendary rooms to massive state fairs, the son of Eddie Van Halen is continuing to cement his own name in the rock pantheon.

    The Mammoth Summer 2026 Tour:

    • The Run: 18 shows across North America, including major headlining dates and Creed support slots.
    • Kickoff: July 12 in Edmonton, Alberta, at the Rockin’ Thunder festival.
    • The Lineup: Featuring Wolfgang Van Halen, Frank Sidoris (Slash), Jon Jourdan, Garrett Whitlock (Tremonti), and Ronnie Ficarro.
    • The Album: The tour supports Mammoth’s third studio effort, The End, recorded at the legendary 5150 studio.
    • Special Guests: Supporting acts on select headlining dates include Big Wreck and 10 Years.

    Wolfgang Van Halen: Breaking the 5150 Mold

    While Wolfgang Van Halen could easily coast on his last name, The End—his third full-length album—proves he is obsessed with evolution. Clocking in at a tight 39 minutes, the 10-track effort was recorded at the iconic 5150 studio with long-time collaborator and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette.

    In keeping with the tradition he started with his 2021 debut, Wolfgang performed every single instrument and vocal track on the studio recording. From the hypnotic grooves of “One Of A Kind” to the infectious hooks of “All In Good Time,” Wolfgang is pushing past the “Mammoth II” era into a more dynamic, aggressive soundscape that has earned him accolades from Rolling Stone to Guitar World.

    A Career Without Limits

    Since launching Mammoth in 2020, Wolfgang has navigated a meteoric rise that few expected. From opening for Metallica and Foo Fighters to his viral performance of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Academy Awards alongside Ryan Gosling and Slash, Wolfgang has become the ultimate “utility man” of rock. Most recently, he shared the stage with Maynard James Keenan and Chad Smith for Ozzy Osbourne’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, proving that the industry’s heaviest hitters see him as a peer, not just a protégé.

    The Loaded Radio Final Word

    Wolfgang Van Halen is arguably the hardest-working man in rock right now. By balancing massive Creed amphitheater dates with intimate headline club shows, he’s building a fanbase the old-fashioned way: by out-playing everyone in the room. The End isn’t just an album title; it feels like the end of any doubt that Mammoth is a premier rock institution. If you haven’t seen this lineup live yet—especially with Frank Sidoris and Garrett Whitlock—you are missing the tightest unit on the road today.

    TL;DR:

    The Bottom Line Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth has announced 18 new North American tour dates for Summer 2026. The “The End” tour features a mix of headlining shows and support slots for Creed’s “Summer of ’99” run. Tickets and VIP packages are available now at mammoth.band.
