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.

Deafening Silence Lyrics

Machine Head

She looked right into my
Eyes and said to me
The hurt that you try to
Hide is killing me
You drink a thousand lies,
To freeze the past in time
Ive tried to fill this
Silence up
But now its back again
See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, Im down in this
Hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
Called life
She says that Im insecure,
I guess shes right
cause just when I think
Im sure, alone at night
The agonies come back, this
Pain wont let me be
I try to fill the silence up
But now its back again
See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, Im down in this
Hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
Called life
Dont need your sympathy
I just want for this silence
To stop killing me
Its deafening
Its deafening
This silence inside me
I try to fill the silence up
But now its back again
Its empty like a suicide
This pain inside
See the pain in my eyes
See the scars deep inside
My god, Im down in this
Hole again
With the laughter I smile
With the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
Called life
Dont need your sympathy
I just want for this silence
To stop killing me.
