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 Frontlines Lyrics

Machine Head

And I watched through bitter eyes
As the blood filled in the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me I should kneel cause
Im worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil
They told us thered never come a day
They told us that we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
I am the power siege
And the rush you will feel, thrill
Exploding out of me
Through clenched teeth I will scream out
Were suffering
With malice you deceive
Puke sold as salvation
They told us thered never come a day
They told us that we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
And I watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away
cause no one took a stand
