===1993 to 2006: Korn===
When [[Jonathan Davis]] joined the band, they changed the name to [[Korn]]. Welch, Shaffer and Arvizu took up [[pseudonym]]s, while Silveria and Davis remained using their real names. Korn proceeded to ride the alternative metal train to the top of the music industry, selling over 40 million albums worldwide. Silveria sat out a part of the "Sick and Twisted 2000" and "Summer Sanitarium" tours due to injury, with [[Mike Bordin]] from [[Faith No More]] filling in on drums. Silveria then returned for the album recording of ''[[Untouchables (album)|Untouchables]]'', Silveria's own explanation for the issue was that he "hits too fucking hard".

In June 2008, rumors began to surface that Silveria had joined a newly formed band called Satellite Syndrome, but it was eventually confirmed that the rumors were false and Silveria was not involved with the band. Silveria has not given any interviews since he went on his hiatus. He dedicated his time and efforts to his children and running his steak house and sushi restaurant. In December 2009, David changed his steak house into a Rock and Sports themed bar in downtown Huntington Beach California called "Silvera's RockBar", and is no longer 50% owner of his sushi restaurant, agreeing to terms to sell his half of ownership over to his ex-wife after a year long court battle.

Biography

1993 to 2006: Korn

When Jonathan Davis joined the band, they changed the name to Korn. Welch, Shaffer and Arvizu took up pseudonyms, while Silveria and Davis remained using their real names. Korn proceeded to ride the alternative metal train to the top of the music industry, selling over 40 million albums worldwide. Silveria sat out a part of the "Sick and Twisted 2000" and "Summer Sanitarium" tours due to injury, with Mike Bordin from Faith No More filling in on drums. Silveria then returned for the album recording of Untouchables, Silveria's own explanation for the issue was that he "hits too fucking hard".

On December 13, 2006, after the tour in support of See You on the Other Side, it was announced that Silveria would be going on hiatus, and Jonathan Davis later said Silveria would "probably not" appear on their next album.[1] Silveria has since started running his restaurants. In 2009, after working with several different temporary drummers, Ray Luzier was announced as the official replacement.

2006 to 2012: Leaving Korn

In June 2008, rumors began to surface that Silveria had joined a newly formed band called Satellite Syndrome, but it was eventually confirmed that the rumors were false and Silveria was not involved with the band. Silveria has not given any interviews since he went on his hiatus. He dedicated his time and efforts to his children and running his steak house and sushi restaurant. In December 2009, David changed his steak house into a Rock and Sports themed bar in downtown Huntington Beach California called "Silvera's RockBar", and is no longer 50% owner of his sushi restaurant, agreeing to terms to sell his half of ownership over to his ex-wife after a year long court battle. In an interview with HeadBanger's Blog, Jonathan Davis said that he had not heard anything from David since his hiatus.
