You can find anything in backwards sons if you are looking for it.
They also used to say that backwards songs proved that Paul McCartney was dead.
Oh, wait, forgot that I don't exist.

Holy 80s bad parenting Batman...
Seriously, only a handful of bands intentionally did any real back masking. For some reason, a handful of people began playing music backwards and "hearing" messages in the music. It's similar to looking for shapes in the clouds, all imagination with little actual substance.
If you believe that there is actually a phenomenon here, ask yourself: Why would people put satanic messages in music BACKWARDS, when 99.9% of people listen to music FORWARD (or normally)?

Aside from a few exceptions where some bands intentionally recorded them as a joke (Iron Maiden's "Still Life" and Ozzy Osbourne's "Bloodbath in Paradise" come to mind) there aren't any hidden backmasked messages in rock songs.
With all the combinations of letters we have in our words, it's inevitable that when you play some recordings backwards you're going to hear things that sound like words. Psychology is then going to take over, and your brain is going to try to FIND words together that make sense (the human brain has a strong tendency to look for patterns, even if there doesn't seem to be any).
When you're TOLD what lyrics you're "SUPPOSED to" hear from back masking, then you're going to "hear" them because of the power of suggestion (this is why we have police line-ups for criminals, so that we know a criminal can be picked out, instead of a spotlight on one person where we're asked "Is that the man who did it"?) If you gave those same back masked samples to other people and didn't tell them what they were "supposed to" hear, they'd give you different answers.

Like Judas Priest said, Play some Nursery Rhymes Backwards, and you get some "messages" as well.
Messing around with Tape speed , Cycle and, etc is Creative and Fun. Much of the So called Back Masking is Coincidental, some may be deliberate, but its not all Deliberate in the "satanic" sense... its just stirring to make records sell :-)

This is all down to interpretation and suggestion. Did you hear the so-called messages BEFORE you read them?
It's just like finding images in clouds.
I am absolutely certain that I could take a bunch of people singing traditional hymns, play it backwards and twist your perception into hearing satanic messages there too. In fact it would be even easier because the choral blending effect gives even greater chance for suggestion.

There were experiments done in the 40s and 50s to see if you could manage people and create a desire for something. It was called subliminal programing.
It was carried out in movie theaters.
They would flash up on the screen pop corn at a rate just beyond visual perception. The pop corn sales skyrocketed. The experiment proved that it could be done.
It is now known that it can be done by audio also.
You have seen these tapes that are marketed to calm people and make them stop smoking or drinking etc.

I am not sure, but there is no reason for hidden messages in music. Some music is out and out satanic and no attempt is made to hide it.

This has been shown to be pretend time and time back. that's a options trick. your human being options will fill in words, in spite of if each of the noise is nonsense firstly. that's a similar with pictures.

Where the hell else are we going to put them so that we can reach such a young, impressionable audience?
Sheesh!
But seriously (or am I), I gotta hand it to those songwriters who are able to pen lyrics that make sense both forward and backwards! That's gotta be hard.

If that's true explain Metallicas "creeping death" which is based on the book of Exodus.
many people write music based on diffrent things it's called creativity
