Investigative Report: Satanic Albums Found To Contain Subliminal Bible Passages.

Teen discovers religious messages in his satanic songs.

"When you spend $18.95 on what you think is a nice Satanic CD, you don't expect it to be full of God-worshipping phrases," says teen metalhead Chad Barlow. But that's exactly what many Satanic teens and their concerned parents are finding out.

The shocking truth is that many of the albums considered to be "hardcore" by Satan-worshippers are actually full of subliminal passages from the Bible.

"It's just not right," says Donna Barlow, Chad's mother, "you try to raise them right by the Dark Lord, and these people go and put these Bible passages in there! It makes me sick just to think about it. How has this affected my son?"

Donna is not alone, several prominent Satanic bands share her outrage.

Heavy metal groups are outraged.

"I blame the producers," said rocker Gouge, former member of the Satanic band Killin Gods Left and Right, "I mean we're [the band members] are obviously not putting these things in there. It's got to be them. I think some of them are religious."

The process of placing subliminal messages -- words or phrases that are too short or distorted to be heard conciously, also known as "back masking" -- it is nothing new. Christians have long been suspected of placing phrases like "under God" in national pledges, "In God We Trust" on currency, and are believed to have implanted the phrase "God bless you" in the minds of Americans. "...but this is the first solid piece of evidence we have," says Gouge, "All you have to do is get the CD and boom, there it is. It's the Christians, I just know it."

Christian Brother, an Ohio Christian activist, denied his group had anything to do with the messages, "We didn't have anything to do with the messages", claims Christian.

The messages in question were discovered in three popular Satanic songs, Evil's My Middle Name (Killin Gods Left and Right - ©1998 DarkLord Records) which is subliminally encoded with the phrase "God ain't all that bad", It's beginning to look a lot like Satan (The DarkOne Cometh - ©1999 Eeevil Records) which allegedly contains the message "Eat of my flesh", and Let's All Worship Baal (The DarkOne Cometh - ©1998 DarkLord Records) which contains the phrase "Jesus Loves you."

DarkLord Records pulled its albums and issued a press release stating "We're just looking out for the kids." The other record labels declined comment.
