This project started in 2003 under the name of New Found Power by the
Abbott brothers who founded the Heavy-Metal band Pantera:
guitarist Dimebag Darrell and drummer Vinnie Paul, the Texan musicians
recruited vocalist Patrick Lachman and bass player Bob Zilla.
They renamed themselves Damageplan just before their debut album was released;
"New Found Power" has cracked Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart
thanks to the singles, "Save Me", which hit #16 on The Mainstream
Rock Tracks chart and "Pride" which ranked in the top 30 in
the same chart.
The band met a tragic end on 9 December 2004, just as the band started
their set at the Alrosa Villa club in Columbus Ohio, a gunman, 25-year-old
Nathan Gale, jumped on-stage walked up to Dimebag Darrell held a gun to
his head and fired three rounds; Darrell was killed and the assailant
also shot dead the band's security guard and two fans.
