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.

The Burning Red Lyrics

Machine Head

The burning red
I see the sun begin to rise
And Im blinded too
Ive seen the world thru
Jaded eyes that Im crying thru
Ive watched the darkness hypnotize
And confided
Hold on Im falling cant
Breathe anymore
An ocean has opened
These scars need to
Heal over
Caress the needle prick in my eye
The tears fell like rain
Ive rode the phoenix as she glides
And Ive gone insane
Ive seen the light of suicide
And Im dying
Hold on Im falling cant
Breathe anymore
An ocean has opened
These scars need to
Heal over
Colder and colder
Just hold onto me
