Speaking about the writing process for Mammoth II and the hit single Like A Pastime, Wolfgang states:
This one is fun. It came about when I tried to teach my fiance what a polyrhythm was. The rhythm is accentuated by the guitar at the beginning, and then the kick drum adds another layer of rhythm on top of it. That was my simple way of teaching the concept of a polyrhythm.
She ended up getting it, surprisingly easier than when I tried to explain it using a Meshuggah song.
