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.

Seasons Wither Lyrics

Machine Head

The taste of avenging blood
Suffer horror she's with stood
Disgust, the core of her soul
The crime takes a new toll
Rapes the soul

Hear her pain
Listen
To what she'd scream

I'm gonna see you bleeding
Face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what
You've taken with hurt
You coward
I'm gonna spit right into you face
In grace you'll feel no more

This scar makes her heart stronger
Your breath makes her days longer
Life gained through your dying eyes
Revenge, life's bitter prize
Feel reprise
Hear her pain
And listen
To what she'd scream

I'm gonna see you bleeding
Face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what
You've taken with hurt
You coward
I'm gonna spit right into you face
In grace you'll feel no more

The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away

And we pray you die (and we pray you die)
We pray you suffocate (suffocate)
In pain you writhe (in pain you writhe)
This day we celebrate (celebrate)
This day we celebrate (this day we celebrate)
Desecrate

This mind and body
This heart and soul
Will not be trampled
Will not crumble
You can't hurt me (hurt me)
Your power's control denied
And you can't rape me (rape me)
That moment's effect has died
You're a fucking shell that's dead in my eyes
Dead!
