Mammoth

Mammoth came out of Liverpool in the late 1990s with a heavy metal sound that felt raw and uncompromising. Dana Connolly, who went by the nickname Wolf, fronted the band. Their debut album in 1998 included the track '30 Pieces of Silver,' which became one of their better-known songs.

They released a couple more albums in the early 2000s, like 'The Devil's Pact' in 2001 and 'Blood and Thunder' in 2005. Connolly's lyrics and the band's overall aesthetic sometimes drew criticism for being too aggressive. There were also reports of internal tension and substance issues, which made their run a bit rocky.

The lineup featured Connolly on vocals, Ethan James on guitar, Ben Carter on bass, and Tony Rodriguez on drums. They had other songs like 'All The Days' and 'Bad Times' that fit their straightforward, heavy approach. The band's music maintained a certain intensity that appealed to a specific metal audience, even as their activity seemed to taper off after the mid-2000s.
