Gottschalk appeared on the first two Volbeat albums The Strength / The Sound / The Songs and Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil . However, after the recordings of the second album were done, Gottschalk was fired "due to different personalities and working methods off stage," according to a statement on Volbeat's official website.[1] Gottschalk later joined Illdisposed, replacing Martin Thim.[2] He made his debut on the album The Prestige .
