What causes this strange effect?

Here are a couple of tracks off of SMEGMACHRIST's record, "The Passion of the SMEGMACHRIST", which have this bizarre effect occur whenever a Ab power chord is inflicted upon your ears.

Check out "Invasion of the Gaysians" and "Halo Guitars Fucking Suck"

We recorded everything live, so in order to beef up the sound of the one guitar, we split the track a hair to give a slight stereo effect. But whenever the Ab5 chord was played, as apparent in "Halo" and in "Gaysians," (and happened to be the b5... metal \m/), the wave pattern must have somehow crossed into itself to create a mono sound. How bizarre... any ideas as to how or why?
