In May 1998, the band released a new album titled "Mir nomer nol"' ("World number zero") - a concept album which contained influences from industrial music and relied heavily on electronic and computer-generated music. With this program DDT had lost a part of their old fans but found a huge success among the young auditory - a fact which DDT were very pleased by. "Mir nomer nol'" tour included about 70 cities in Russia and overseas. A new album, "Metel' avgusta" ("Snowstorm of August"), contained mostly outtakes from "Mir nomer nol" as well as songs with more warm and lyrical atmosphere.
