Wolfgang Van Halen has shared “Like a Pastime,” the second single from his band Mammoth Wvh’s forthcoming sophomore album, Mammoth II, out August 4th.
Wolfgang previously said that he was taking inspiration from progressive bands such as Meshuggah on the new album. Although “Like a Pastime” isn’t nearly as extreme at Meshuggah, the track does make use of polyrhythms — a prog staple.
