Anticipation and suspense in the song and to equal measures in the video, “Backwards” is a true gem created by Danish artist Schultz & Forever.

My gateway to The Rigs was the track “The Hunted”. Otherwise, to be very honest, I might not have listened past the first track “The Brave”, which points rather to big stadium glam rock complete with a big synth bridge. But with the beautifully haunting melody of “The Hunted” in my head, I was intrigued.

From A Victim Of Society‘s excellent sophomore album “Freaktown” (see album review), another track got the video treatment, this time the beautifully gloomy “Amnesia”.
