Message Hidden Backward In Black Sabbath Album Wishes Everyone A Good Time Listening To Rock And Roll

OMAHA, NE—Subliminally influencing those who have purchased the 1971 album to sit back and enjoy the music, a hidden message discovered Wednesday when local heavy metal fans played Black Sabbath’s Master Of Reality backward reportedly urges everyone to have a good time listening to rock and roll. “Hey there, friends, we hope people listening out there like this new record, because we think it’s tops!” begins the backmasked message heard when audio of the song “Children Of The Grave” is reversed, revealing a warped, disorienting version of Ozzy Osbourne’s voice that goes on to inform the listener that, when it comes to Black Sabbath, the rock never stops. “We recorded a fresh batch of tunes, and they’ve turned out quite nice, actually. Are you ready to rock and roll? Because it’s time to rock and roll!” The hidden message concludes by urging everyone to climb aboard the “HMS Rock And Roll,” because the band is about to chart a course for “music island.”
