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.

Death Church Lyrics

Machine Head

Well I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didnt make me right
Try and conform, but wont be deaf, blind, dumb
Been beaten down, just harder Ive become
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Hey jesus cant you help me with my pain
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Christ suffering upon my tv screen
Send in your money to the faith obscene
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Strength, truth and honor, words I strive to live
Your faiths profane, it takes, never gives
cause Im gonna die standing upon my feet
Youre gonna die groveling on your knees
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
