“I’ve had the tapping idea for the intro of ‘The End‘ since before the creation of Mammoth,” Van Halen shared in a statement. “I successfully integrated it into this new musical realm. While it’s undeniably over-the-top and shreddy, it maintains a sense of melody and control. Overall, I experimented with various elements on this record, and I recognized that this track was a significant milestone for me. Upon completing ‘The End,’ it resonated as something truly special.”
Collaborations with Renowned Artists in the Spectacular ‘The End’ Music Video
Wolfgang Van Halen enlisted the talents of acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez for the visually stunning music video of “The End,” inspired by Rodriguez’s cult classic 1996 action-horror film From Dusk Till Dawn. The video features the legendary Danny Trejo portraying a sleazy nightclub owner who reluctantly allows Mammoth to perform at his venue, but under the stipulation that they keep the volume low.
In true rock fashion, the band defiantly disregards this request, leading to chaos filled with an array of zombies, werewolves, and vampires, creating a thrilling and entertaining narrative. The video also includes special appearances by several notable figures from the Van Halen family and friends, such as Slash, Myles Kennedy, Valerie Bertinelli, and Andraia Allsop, enhancing the star-studded atmosphere.
Alongside the release of this exhilarating song and video, Mammoth has also announced an exciting fall U.S. headlining tour, featuring support from Myles Kennedy. Check out the detailed dates for this highly anticipated tour below.
