Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
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

for pantera fans looking for more awesome riffs, guitar solos and raw vocals, this is not what you would expect. New found power is a decent album, but it lacks the cutting edge that pantera had. Dimebag is nowhere near his best with only a few notable moments, the song writing sounds rather new metal and lacks originality. The singer on this album does display immense talent on a few stand out tracks such as pride, but he lacks a consistent character. Im not sayin its a bad album, but i think it would be better to download the stand out song "pride" than to spend money on an album which probably wont live up to your expectations.

A warning to those Pantera fans hoping the rumours that Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul's new band were basically just more of the same: it is true, but only in the way that they have taken all the power, vitriol and spit from their old band and discarded it somewhere safe (or perhaps Phil took it with him for SJ?), just leaving them with the sense of a half-decent riff and kick-ass solos. Really there is nothing more to Damageplan than that, and I have to say that I for one am quite disappointed. There is nothing wrong with the album per se - as a debut CD for a new band it still impresses - but somehow even supposedly 'aggressive' songs like 'F**k You' manage to sound fairly tame, even with help from Zakk Wylde and Corey Taylor. The super-slick production job does not help, sometimes even evoking the sound from Corey's 'side project' band Stone Sour. In fact I would attribute this as 'New Found Power''s biggest weakness, the fact that it sounds like every other metal album you've ever heard before, there is simply nothing to make it stand out from the ever-increasing crowd of Pantera wannabies. What made the Texans so special was their 'don't give a f**k' attitude which is so dearly missed on this CD, in fact I would go as far to say some songs, like 'Save Me', smack of blatant commercialism. Oh, and Pat Lachmann? Again, nothing wrong with his voice, save that it's nothing I haven't heard on a Soil or Spineshank CD. Overall, let's just say good, but could have done WAY better, boys.

I am a huge Pantera and Dimebag fan but I just cannot get into New Found Power. It just doesn't have the raw energy and the power and Dynamic of Pantera.

A very, very good album!!!
Make no mistake about it, the late, great Dimebag Darrell was right up there with Jimi Hendrix and Randy Rhodes in terms of sheer wizardry on the guitar. Read more

Dimebag
On December 8th 2004 we lost one of the true metal legends. This is left as Dimebags last album before his tragic death. This is all I can really say on the matter.
