Well if this isn’t some freaky Black Lodge speak, then I don’t know what is. According to what I could find online, Dutch artist Jeroen Offerman spent three months learning how to sing Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” backwards. He then filmed himself singing the ditty backwards and reversed the footage (at least that’s what I think is going on here). The whole thing is… really something.

On some level this has to be a riff on the whole “backmasking” rumor that has dogged the song for years when alarmed Christians played the record backwards and discovered certain apparently “demonic” messages could be made out:

“Oh here’s to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He’ll give those with him 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan…”

I applaud Jeroen’s commitment.
