Judas Priest Lyrics

Couldn't quite get the high-pitched squealing. However, the reversed version of that Judas Priest song says "Suicide of the Mind."

Song Files

• Reversed and at normal speed
• Reversed and at about 57% normal speed

%Open Judas Priest Song with Sample Rate (Fs) in Hz and number of bits per

%Half speed slow down of the reversed song
disp('Lets listen to that in slow motion.')
wavplay(reversed, Fs/1.75);
