Hello everyone and thanks for subscribing to us and following us as we bring Firststrike back to life.....
Sad day today hearing about our Metal brother Vinnie Paul (expired link) you will be missed but never forgotten.....as you may know our singer Rick Mythiasin was a former Pantera singer back before Anselmo was in the band and I know he's feeling down today more so than the many that loved Vinnie
I want to thank all of you who've been listening to our songs, and stopping by here on N1M. I (Pauly) and Firststrike appreciate all of you, and also want to thank the new subscribers that have signed on since my last newsletter went out
We now have a brand new website please stop by and check it out, we think it looks killer and will continue to add more pictures , posts and updates as we continue to bring our older material back to like and bring you new material that we hope you will like.....Our logo you see with the skull and horns is the updated version of our original logo that a friend of ours made while in high school back in the late 80's.....it was originally just black and white.....the new one is grey / white over the yellow "Nuke" symbol you see on the left side of our profile page on (expired link)......
We are updating and adding NEW features to the site daily.....We have some cool stickers and some limited merch items on the new site but they are made to order which does make them expensive but as soon as we finalise a good merch company we will bring you some killer stuff so please bare with us......So please check it out and add yourself to the FAN section on the new website and remember you will be the first to hear about everything we are doing and be first to receive news about FREE giveaways, new music and up to date info on upcoming tours, rumours and everything Firststrike related.

We just posted Nuclear Assassin to our FirstStrike official Youtube channel. This was the first song we ever wrote back in the late 80's and although our new version will sound better once we hit the studio we are still proud of this song and hope you like it as much as we do.......
