Liquid Tension Experiment, the legendary supergroup comprised of Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic, Sons of Apollo), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), and Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) recently announced their return with a new album titled ‘LTE3’, due to be released March 26th, 2021 via InsideOutMusic, twenty-two years after the bands’ last studio album.
Today, the band are pleased to share the first video from the album for the single “The Passage of Time.” You can watch the video, created by Christian Rios, here:
Swedish progressive rock instrumentalists Gösta Berlings Saga are soon to release their upcoming sixth studio album Konkret Musik next week (July 24th, 2020) worldwide via InsideOutMusic.
In order to further pre-promote the release, GBS are therefore releasing a new single/video for the song “To Never Return” today. Check out the cool video-clip directed by Martin Gustafsson here:
GBS checked in with the following comment about the track:
"Our third and last single off ‘Konkret Musik’ is the partly bare-bones, partly grandiose ‘To Never Return’ – a song centered around a circular, pulsating and dark pattern leading up to an ending with a crescendo to die for.
The concept of a musical scorched earth-policy, where one’s vision is always forward-looking, is in the video symbolised by a modern heist – in which all bridges are burnt in search of the ultimate musical experience. The video is as much a tribute to film classics such as Du rififi chez les hommes as well as to more modern depictions such as La Haine – with a tongue in cheek approach.
‘To Never Return’ is our call to arms to never look back."
Long Distance Calling have launched the new video for latest single ‘Immunity’.
Germany’s most internationally successful instrumental rock act, recently are set to release their seventh studio album ‘How Do We Want To Live?’ on 26th June 2020.

The band comments: ‘Please check out the 3rd single of our upcoming new record "How Do We Want To Live?".
The song is called "Immunity" and we hope you’ll enjoy this tune as much as we do!
The video is very special for us. Some of the footage was shot by our community during the Covid19 pandemic.
Many thanks to all the talented filmmakers out there. On one hand the video deals with the fact, that the digital world we are living in has so much to offer as we are able to communicate with people from all over the world and share important information.
On the other hand all the technology and digital platforms are being misused to spread lies, hate, weird conspiracies.
Of course we are an instrumental band. But that cannot stop us from shouting against racism, xenophobia, homophobia and all that bullshit that is going on during these strange times right now.
So let us use this technical progress and this crisis to make this world a better place!’
Leprous have shared the 3rd single from their sixth and most ambitious studio album Pitfalls, which is set for release on 25th October 2019 via InsideOutMusic.
Listen to ‘Distant Bells’ here:
Simen Børven (Bass) says: "The instrumental part of ‘Distant Bells’ is a compilation of my musical background. Influences from Nordic Jazz and Symphonic Pop infuses the attempt of stretching an extremely simple idea, from almost nothing, to an explosion towards the ending of the song. To me the composition is like an evolution from a single self-replicating cell into a complex sentient being."
Einar Solberg (Vocals/Synth): "It was both challenging and very refreshing to work on “Distant Bells”, as the main instrumental idea didn’t come from me. It opened up new doors of creativity within myself and it was very exciting to do the melody and lyrics for this track. It’s a very different LEPROUS track, and it turned out to be one of my personal favourites. Simen has a different musical background than myself, and our contradictions are probably what made this song shine so bright."
