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 - The More Things Change Lyrics

Machine Head

You said when that day came
Screams was all Id hear
You said when that day would come
Ill know the sound of fear
And now you ask forgiveness
You ask for my respect
You beat upon me til 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
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
I was born to reign
Messiah of pain
Silencing the lies
Time for me to rise
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
Drain me of my power
Suck me of my strength
Strip me of my will to live
My soul you desecrate
And if it takes me dying
To make some history
Then unto you my suffering
Remember, forever, my misery
