The band returned to the studio the following year for Worlds Collide. Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann appeared on the album performing a German-language version of David Bowie 's "Helden.

For their first three albums their second being a tribute album to other heavy metal bands such as Pantera , the third an album of original songs, their line-up consisted of four cellists.
They then played at a festival of which Slayer was headlining. Dave Lombardo, a fan of the string quartet, asked them if they knew any Slayer and, upon finding that they do know how to play Slayer, asked them to join him for a short set, telling them to give him a call if they ever needed a drummer.
When one of the members quit in , they called up Lombardo for their fourth album, Reflections ; though he did not become their primary drummer, he contributed to their next two albums before officially leaving in They were also featured on melodic death metal band Amon Amarth 's album Twilight of the Thunder God , for the song "Live for the Kill", and they have played sets with Rammstein.
