Recorded follow-up album

In 2001, the band entered the studio in secret with Ross Robinson and began recording their follow-up album Worship and Tribute , which would see release the following year. The album was engineered and mixed by Mike Fraser . They left Roadrunner in December 2001 and shopped the album to other labels before signing a deal with Warner Bros. Records . The line-up on this record was Palumbo, Beck (who also played bass), Weinstock, and Shannon Larkin of Amen and later Godsmack , who provided drumming duties due to recording time constraints, as he had worked well with producer Ross Robinson in the past, although Larry Gorman was composing parts and officially the drummer of the band. The album showcased a more melodic sound with jazz and ambient influences. Palumbo called it “a mélange of influences, a collage is what this band is all about.”
