In the June 2008 edition of Metal Hammer magazine, David had revealed in an interview that he had a very difficult childhood. He was often harassed and bullied due to the fact that he came from a deeply religious Jewish family.

Rabbi (pronunciation, although in English usually) in Judaism, means a religious ‘teacher’ or more literally ‘my great one’ when addressing any master One of them tried to hold him down so the others could have their way, but ended up with David's back heel in his testicles. The bully in front of him struck David down, who landed next to his bike. David then grabbed his bike chain and then "smacked the living shit out of them until they could not get up".
Some of their new songs, Deceiver and Inside the Fire, of their new album Indestructible, deal with another rough part of his childhood, being the suicide of his girlfriend back in school.

Leaving early to avoid confrontation, David went back to his parent's house, where he got a call from a friend the next day, saying she had died of an overdose. David also stated in the interview that, in the ambulance, all she wanted was for him to be with her. He had nightmares for years afterwards, but he eventually got over it, until very recently, while working on the lyrics for the Indestructible album, he started to have them again. in the video of "inside the fire" he depicts what dealing with suicide could mean for those with religious backrounds or beliefs, in that suicide is a sin and you can't go to heaven for it. After his ex-girlfriend's death, David got into a downward spiral involving drugs as well, but had an epiphany at the age of 18, realized the error of his ways, and went cold turkey.
