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.

I bite the hand cause this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you cant speak the truth
Chorus:
Give respect
cause the rule is blood for blood
Beatings is what youll inherit this time
Fast bait, your new name
Your pain is my shine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
Chorus
I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I cant back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
Chorus
