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.

Ten Ton Hammer Lyrics

Machine Head

I am the thing that makes you sick
I am the blame that gets placed quick
Detect the crack within your lie (your lie)
Ill be the wrath of your disdain
Ill be the fear in you engrained
Become the facts that you deny (deny)
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass youll shatter
With bloody fists Ill batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
1ll be the trembling in your breath
Trickle of blood upon your flesh
Youd love to watch me take the fall - fall!
Ill be the thing that you despise
cause Im the path to your demise
And Im a be there standing tall - tall!
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass youll shatter
With bloody fists Ill batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
I cant stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I cant stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass youll shatter
With bloody fists Ill batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
