The only album by the Boston (Massachusetts) band, released by Rockwell Records in 1977. The band was clearly influenced by their fellow Bostonians and other peers from the same era. Lots of synthesizers, solid guitar riffs and pompous melodies, a good vocalist... A vigorous mix of prog, hard and pompous rock suggests that the music of this group was based on the cinematic concepts of science fiction films like "Star Wars". And the title of the album, which translated means “First attack! They will never take us alive,” obliges us to do this. For unknown reasons, there was no second attack... A very rare record! Not reissued on CD.
