On August 24, 1999, they released their second album, Home. In the same year they released a compilation called Live and Loud which featured live footage of the band's performance of September 16, 1998, at Chicago's Metro. In 1998, Sevendust performed at Dynamo Open Air (May 29–31) and Ozzfest 1998 (July through August). Sevendust appeared on the Billboard 200, remained there for sixteen weeks and peaked at 165 on April 4, 1998. The debut album also contains the song "My Ruin", from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. "Black" became the opening song for nearly every Sevendust concert until 2004. Sevendust released their self-titled debut, with partial production by former Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French, on April 15, 1997, known for its heavy riffs, angry vocals and thrash-like drumming, as in the songs "Black" and "Bitch". The song "Rumble Fish" was included on the band's second album, Home. The band members elected to rename themselves Sevendust, inspired by the commercial insecticide brand " Sevin Dust". However, the band had to change their name again after another group named Crawlspace sent notice that they wanted $2,500 in exchange for the naming rights. They chose Crawlspace, and released "My Ruin" on the 1996 compilation album Mortal Kombat: More Kombat through TVT Records. Rumblefish were forced to rename themselves after discovering another band with the same name. Lowery is one of Sevendust's primary songwriters. Clint Lowery joined the band, and the group renamed themselves Rumblefish. They recorded their first demo, but were displeased with the lead vocals and hired Lajon Witherspoon following a yearlong search. John Connolly, a drummer at the time, joined the group as guitarist. In 1994, bassist Vince Hornsby joined drummer Morgan Rose in a band called Snake Nation.
