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.

Machine Head

Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The decimation of all that is pure pure
A system that feeds the machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor poor
Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists
cause nobody cares anymore anymore
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
White attack black, black attack back
The fuckin media keeps us all blind blind
Children on crack, junkies on smack
You wanna close your eyes to hide hide
Pollution so dense, sickening existence
New world order, new world decline
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
The more the sense of ignorance
The more intense is the pain
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The decimation of all that is pure pure
A system that feeds the machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor poor
Believe in something if it stops your suffering
cause all we have is nothing nothing
Fuck it all
