New Album Details and Release Date
Wolfgang Van Halen has announced his third solo album, The End, set to be released on October 24 through BMG. The new record includes 10 tracks and runs 39 minutes long. It shows how much Wolfgang has grown since starting his solo career in 2020. Like before, he recorded the album at the famous 5150 Studio with producer and longtime collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette.
Just like his previous albums, Wolfgang wrote all the songs and performed every instrument and vocal part himself. He pushed himself harder than ever, trying to go beyond what he did on his debut and follow-up albums. The End opens with One Of A Kind and closes with All In Good Time, giving listeners a wide range of sound and emotion.

New Single: “The Spell”
Along with the album announcement, Wolfgang released a new single called The Spell. The song comes with a music video where he’s seen playing every instrument. It was directed by Gordy De St. Jeor, who has worked with him on past videos.
The new single gives fans a first look at the style and energy of the upcoming album. Other tracks like Same Old Song, Happy, and Selfish are expected to blend well with past fan favorites from Mammoth II.
Wolfgang continues to build a solid solo career by sticking to his roots and doing things his own way—writing, performing, and producing everything himself. Fans won’t have to wait long to hear the full album in October.
