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.

My Misery - Demon Knight Lyrics

Machine Head

You said when that day came
Strength is all I had
You said when that day would come
Ill know the sound of fear
But now you ask for forgiveness
You ask for my respect
You beat upon me till I broke
Stripping, taking
Everything from me
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
Nif it takes me dying
To make some history
Then on to you my suffering
Will ever, forever
Burn in misery
I was born to reign
Messiah of pain
I had earned the right
Im the demon knight
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
N if it take me dying
To make some history
Then on to you my suffering
Wii ever, forever
Burn in misery
