Instant Audio Evil
Back in the 80’s several fundamentalist Christian gangs began to claim that evil backmasked messages, that could bypass the conscious mind and reach the subconscious, were being peddled by headbanging heavy mentalists on their records.
Some Christian radio programs claimed that songs like Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” contained hidden messages from Beelzebub the Prince of Darkness - or he who walks backwards (these messages were, of course, unknowingly accepted by the listener). This obviously drove every Led Zeppelin fan in the land to play their records backwards like total greasy haired divvies. Of course, it was all rubbish.
Anyway, thanks to the folks at the internet, you can now test the theory without trying to spin your discs in reverse at an impossibly difficult constant speed. You just upload an audio file to a server, wait a few seconds, and then you will hear it played backwards at the right speed - as if read by Lucifer himself.
Lovely.

Interestingly enough if you play evangelical sermons backwards you can quite clearly hear the words
‘I am a deluded imbecile whose mind has been corrupted by my deluded belief in an imaginary friend who runs medieval sky fairy cult’.
