Founded in 1992 by former Vio-lence guitarist Robert Flynn and Adam Duce. The first song on their debut album, "Davidian", features the lyrics "Let freedom ring / with a shotgun blast". Subsequently the video was banned from MTV due to its release date being very soon after the Waco Siege which it was apparently describing. Robb Flynn has since said that the song "Davidian" was not written about the Waco Siege but added that line to get people thinking. After their debut album Burn My Eyes (1994) Chris Kontos left to work with Testament and a stand in drummer was used for Machine Head's Donington slot in 1995.

Blistering Lyrics

Machine Head

You stabbed me in the back over a sliver
A feeling I have been betrayed
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage
It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I dont care cause I dont give a fuck
It tears a path right through me
A systematic vision of survival
A struggle I alone engage
Tension burning inside me
Blood so sweet cause revenge
It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I dont care cause I dont give a fuck
It tears a path right through me
Revenge is mine
Suffering divine
Fractures break through bone
Frustration wont let go
Filled with lead and dumped into the river
And buried in a shallow grave
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage
