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.

Take My Scars Lyrics

Machine Head

Its been around for a thousand years
And itll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore
It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane
Take my scars
Through hands of god
I found a better way
To break the walls
Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
Youll never understand my rage
Youve never had to borrow
Youve never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me its real
Take my scars
Through hands of god
I found a better way
To break the walls
Lead: robb
Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine
Theyll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
Its bliss you find
Why cant you
Fuckin open
Open up your eyes
