I'll bet that a black metal song has "666" or a pentagram somewhere.

It would be interesting to do it with stairway to heaven, from all of the controversy.

What's fake? The Spectrogram program? The quoted tracks? Just the pictures?

The pictures are fake.

I realize it's possible to embed messages in audio like this, what's not possible is doing it without doing serious damage to the audio content. It's not a trivial tweak.

That said, I don't know for certain that it's a fake, but this is the internet, so I thought I'd state my half-assed guess with sufficient conviction, like I knew what I was talking about.

Fair enough, this is your field after all.

If you've heard Venetian Snares, this might make more sense. They employ liberal servings of "experimental noise" ...

Hmm ... I haven't heard the track in question. If there's a ton of sculpted noise, then yeah, it's possible they did something like this.

I retract my previous half-assed assertion, and replace it with an equally certain "maybe".
