Are there any singers or bands that worship Satan? Obviously there are. There is not the slightest doubt about that. Do they do it in a subconscious way? Of course not. Most of them have no problem admitting it publicly and openly. After all, you could not expect anything different from the Norwegian leaders of Black Metal, Mayhem, for example. So, the first chapter of this story closes quickly - without any conspiracy theory. I'm sorry.
Let's go to the second chapter. There are singers who are not as expressive as they are Mayhem, want to praise Satan but do not do it directly so as not to spoil their profile? It can. Here things are not so clear. Maybe some of them tried at some point to pass some subconscious messages through their songs. You do not ask the "why" when trying to build a conspiracy theory. They do it because they can. Or they do it because we think so. It's like the story of the huge Judas Priest who were accused of leading a young man to suicide through a subconscious message that was supposed to be in one of their songs. This is what the unfortunate parents of the child thought. The courts, however, took a different view.
And let's go to the third chapter of the story which has the biggest laugh. Why, okay, guys, the Mayhems are Satanists, the Judas Priest play heavy metal and the heavy metals are known to be… Satanized, as a soul used to say, but should Parios praise Lucifer? the Marinella; George Mazonakis? Truth; And yet! There are many who believe it. Willingness and unbridled imagination to have everything (you think) you hear it.
The paranoia with reverse messages started in the late 1960s, flared up and took on enormous proportions, however, in the 1980s when some people started playing the other way around. vinyls at their peak. It continued in the 1990s but not to such an extent. In the first years of the new century, there were few left and graphic to claim that there are subconscious messages in songs. They do, however, with great will and especially the same unbridled imagination. Because, as it was said earlier, there is a will and you hear what you want!
Greek and foreign songs with… subconscious messages
From time to time there are too many songs to which subconscious messages have been delivered. Some of them are figments of the imagination of those who tried to catch sea bass. Some others definitely make you think twice about whether it really is or it is an incredible coincidence. There are of course songs that the creators themselves had admitted that they did in order to take advantage of the dread of the time.
One subconsciously finds or "finds" in diamonds of the world music scene. If we refer to everything, 1.300 words are not enough. By way of example, we can say about the Beatles' I'm So Tired, in which Lennon is supposed to be heard saying: "Paul is dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him" and which is also supposed to confirm another conspiracy theory. according to which Paul McCartney was dead and his place had been taken by a lifeguard. At the Eagles Hotel California in the excerpt "In the middle of the night, just to hear them say", "Satan he hears this" is heard. He had me believe in him ». The band denies that this was done on purpose.

But it's not just foreign songs. It is also Greek. It is Marinella in the song "Ki ystera" which, if played upside down, sounds "satan together". Alkistis Protopsalti in "My Angel" which is supposed to say "you are the devil" upside down. Pavlos Sidiropoulos in the "book of heroes" that some people heard upside down "you are the demon who showed that you hated". Even the Giannis Parios in his duet with Despina Vandi in the song "I admit" he is heard to say "I have satanades" which of course does not make sense but what of all the above does it make?
The example of George Mazonakis
"Against the weather on the uphill / You on the garbage trucks / Along with the other rubbish / No perfumes, ornaments"! This is what George Mazonakis sings in his song "Terma" which is included in the album "the strange with me" released in 2015! That is, about four years ago, which means that there are still people looking for subconscious messages.
But let's look at it in more detail… With a first and the truth is not a deep analysis of the lyrics obviously and it turns out that the artist sings for a separation and decides to put an end (hence the title) to the relationship he had and throw it in the trash ( metaphorically always) the woman who broke his heart. So far so good.
But what if we cut out three words and try to convey a subconscious message in favor of Satan? Yes! Some did that too. They took the words "other garbage" and announced that this point if someone plays it upside down he hears Mazonaki to say "satans of Satan".

This is exactly the trick on which all these conspiracy theories are based. You take three convenient words, usually similar, with what you want to "draw" as a conclusion, you cut them out, many times a pun is played with other convenient points of the song and… voila. The satanist Mazonakis is ready.
What is really going on? If you spell the words "other rubbish" upside down, what you will get is "aidipuks at but". If you start and keep saying it (and put plenty of imagination) you will start to hear something similar to the "satanic singers" and in the end it is possible to convince yourself that you really heard it and that Mazonakis really passes subconscious messages praising him Satan!
The special cases of Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest
Perhaps the only case that raises more discussion is that of Led Zeppelin who in the legendary "stairway to heaven" have an excerpt that really makes you wonder how something like this could have happened. The normal lyrics of the song are: "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run; there's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder ». If someone plays it upside down disk it sounds: “Here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He will give those with him 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan ». Whenever asked, the band members deny any intention and emphasize that it is a… satanic coincidence!

In 1985, two young children, after a night of drunkenness with plenty of alcohol and marijuana, find a carbine and shoot themselves. One, 18-year-old Raymond Belknap, dies on the spot. His friend, 20-year-old James Vance, survives severely injured and with a deformed face. In the ambulance he told a police officer that they decided to commit suicide when they heard the song "Better by You, Better than Me", they felt, as he said, that they had no other choice. "I was scared, I did not want to die, but it was as if my mind had been programmed," he said. The parents of the two children discover subconscious messages in the song, such as, "Let's Be Dead", "F ** k the Lord" and "Do it". Especially the phrase "Do it" was considered an incitement to suicide. Based on these findings, they decided in 1987 to file a $ 6,2 million lawsuit against their band and record label CBS.

During the trial the Judas Priest they said that they did their own research for ... subconscious messages and found the following phrases: "Hey ma, my chair is broken", "Give me a peppermint" and "Help me keep a job"! The court eventually acquitted the band, but accepted that Judas Priest's music did contain subconscious messages, which are impossible for human hearing to understand without special technology, so the two young men did what they were motivated by their own personal problems.
