Amazon.co.uk Review
New Found Power is the debut album from Damageplan, but those involved are by no means amateurs. After the break-up of Pantera, guitarist Dimebag Darrell and drummer Vinnie Paul teamed up with vocalist Pat Lachman (formerly of Diesel Machine and Halford) and bassist Bob Zilla to keep the metal dream alive. As expected, Pantera's influence looms large--an aggressive one-two punch of crunching riffs and heavy beats. But, as if keen to distance themselves from their former band, they add a few new sounds to the mix. "Pride" and "Save Me" each display a bit of post-grunge introspection, while "F*** You" updates their sound by incorporating the rapid-fire beats of Slipknot (and even features a guest spot by Corey Taylor). For the most part, though, Damageplan stick to what they know best, which is straightforward thrash metal ("Explode", for example, is perfect mosh-fodder). Inevitably, Pantera fans will bemoan the loss of Phil Anselmo, but New Found Power should get Damageplan the attention of a whole new generation. --Robert Burrow

CD Description
The demise of Pantera reverberated deeply in the hearts andminds of heavy music fans. From the ashes of a very public split with vocalist Phil Anselmo, brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul took solace in a simple mantra--new found power. The duo set out to build a new band in that very spirit as a vehicle for Darrell's trademark blistering riffs and Paul's precision skin-bashing. Initially flying under the flagNew Found Power, the band added bassist and fellow Texan Bob Zilla and became known as Damageplan.
Former Halford guitarist Pat Lachman makes his vocal debut on NEW FOUND POWER. The result is a study in extremes that spans the horizon from borderline death-metal vocals ("Reborn") to clean melodic singing ("Save Me"). Pantera fans may hear echoes of theirbeloved band's heyday in the thrashy abandon of "F*** You" and the trudging "Moment of Truth". Not resting on formula, however, Damageplan explores an industrial vibe with "Explode" and haunting Alice in Chains inspired harmonies on "Soul Bleed". An impressive first effort, NEW FOUND POWER draws a line in the sand that only serious metal enthusiasts need cross.
