 In 1981 , Styx was accused of putting the backward message " Satan move through our voices " on the song " Snowblind " , from Paradise Theatre . Guitarist James Young called these charges " rubbish , " and responded , " If we want to make a statement , we 'll do it in a way that people can understand us and not in a way where you have to go out and buy a $ 400 tape player to understand us . " The vinyl reproduction of Paradise Theater had laser etching on side one , spelling out Styx at the top , and two ladies facing each other on the sides . But on side two , the side with the song ( Snow Blind ) it had a black label with a small hole cut out where you could place the eraser side of a pencil , and play the album backwards to hear the backward message . In 1983 , the band released a concept album , Kilroy Was Here , satirizing the Moral Majority .
