Damageplan was a hard rock band formed by Vinnie Paul and "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, formerly of Pantera, after Pantera disbanded. They were joined by ex-Halford guitarist Pat Lachman on vocals, and Bob Zilla, playing bass. Their sound mixed both Pantera and Halford, with elements of Slipknot, Alice In Chains, and many other bands. Their debut album had a more organic sound than the wonderful, but very robotic, sound of Pantera. Their debut album, New Found Power, was released in the United States on February 10, 2004, and was a great success.

The nightclub murder of Dimebag Darrell
"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, and 3 others were murdered on December 8, 2004, when a gunman, 25-year-old Nathan Gale, took to the stage and began shooting during the band's show at a Columbus, Ohio, USA nightclub. Columbus police officer James Niggemeyer soon arrived at the scene and shot the attacker, killing him. Damageplan was on a world tour at the time, and, according to guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell, a new album probably would have been released sometime in 2005.
