===''New Found Power''===
The single "Save Me" debuted on American radio on January 26, 2004, and the band's debut album, ''[[New Found Power]]'', was released in the United States on February 10. The album was recorded at the brothers' backyard studio, Chasin' Jason, in [[Arlington, Texas]], where previous Pantera albums were also recorded. The Abbott brothers found out that during recording, everyone was willing to contribute and "put 100% effort into it" while with Pantera, but they found it too difficult to have Anselmo in the recording studio.<ref name="Interview With Damageplan Drummer Vinnie Abbott">{{cite web

Alice in Chains' vocalist/guitarist [[Jerry Cantrell]] attended a [[Thanksgiving]] party hosted by the Abbott brothers. Darrell and Paul had a demo of the first song they wrote, titled "Ashes to Ashes". Lachman insisted that it was on the "backburner" until Cantrell showed interest. The band entered the Abbott brothers' backyard studio with Cantrell to record "Ashes to Ashes". Although the song was not completed in time to be featured on ''New Found Power'', it was included on the Japanese version, and for the soundtrack ''[[The Punisher: The Album]]''.<ref name="Pat Lachman interview">{{cite web
