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.

Imperium Lyrics

Machine Head

hear me now
bearing down upon a path we choose
chosen from the start living different rules
exixtence sometimes to cherish true
will not succumb to dourts that i hold onto
release the frear of my pain
in so much pain
give me the will to fight
every outside obstacle that i have inside
release the fear and

(chorus)

Hear me now
words i vow
no fucking regrets

fuck these chains
no god damn slave
i will be different

i'll stand here defiantly
my middle finger raised
fuck your predjudice

all my life
always i've felt alone
conditioned to believe
only truth will help to set me free
my every weakness
i must turn into strength
every rage, every tear
hate in so much hate
never that pain will bind me
ask of myself if i've the will to unwind
every rage and tear

chorus

carved upon my stone
i will go on
patient, belief
love will ascend

just listen to it
voice so true inside calling
to pick you up and march you on
keep from falling let go your sorrow
sun will shine, this i promise
rising tomorrow
rising

hear me now
im taking bakc the control
of my life from teh societies hold
i vow no more will i be a slave
rise to challenge the whole human race

my spirit cannot break
