"Davidian" comes off Burn My Eyes, the debut album Machine Head released through Roadrunner on August 9, 1994, a record whose lyrics grew out of the social disorder and inner turmoil the band lived with in their hometown of Oakland, California, with the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the 1993 Waco siege among its touchstones. Robb Flynn sings lead and wrote the words, and the music belongs to all four players: Flynn and Logan Mader on guitars, Adam Duce on bass and backing vocals, and Chris Kontos on drums, on the only Machine Head studio album he made.
Colin Richardson produced it with the band and shared the mix with Vincent Wojno, who also recorded it, with Liz Sroka and Steven Werner assisting.
