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.

Hard times are comin your way
Youre gonna have to rise above it some day
Organize your life and figure it out
Or youll go under without a doubt
Hard times! hard times!
Seems Im bein forced into a mold
Hard times! hard times!
Forcin me and Im growin cold
Hard times are coming through
But if your hard they wont get to you
Theyre gonna try to drive you into the ground
But never surrender, never go down!
Cromag!
Skinhead!
Breakout!
