Damageplan was an American heavy metal supergroup from Dallas, Texas, formed in 2003.

After the disbandment of Pantera, brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott founded Damageplan so that they could continue doing their music, which had become increasingly difficult in Pantera since vocalist Phil Anselmo had drug problems and bassist Rex Brown was only interested in his side project.
Damageplan released their only studio album New Found Power on February 10th, 2004, which debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200.

During a Damageplan concert on December 8th, 2004 at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, a man named Nathan Gale climbed on stage, mumbled something about Dimebag being responsible for Pantera’s break-up, stuck a gun to the guitarist’s head and shot him three times. He also killed two audience members and Damageplan’s security guard and wounded seven others before he himself being shot by a police officer.

It has been confirmed there are unreleased Damageplan recordings, Vinnie Paul said there would be a follow-up album in the future.
Paul and Zilla started the band Hellyeah and kept on going until Vinnie Paul died in 2018.
