Liquid Tension Experiment release new music video for ‘Beating The Odds’

LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track Beating The Odds, is the second single taken from the progressive metal supergroup’s upcoming album LTE3, which is scheduled for release in March this year.

About the song, John Petrucci says, “This was a riff that I brought into the sessions that I thought was interesting because it’s in an odd time and phrased in a way that is hard to wrap your head around at first until you understand where the groove is. When I first presented it to the guys, their initial reaction was “how are you feeling that?” When the band enters after the opening riff it probably sounds a little ‘odd’ because the time signature is a bit unclear until the song gets going. If LTE3 ever had a ‘prog pop hit’ this would be it!”

Mike Portnoy continues, “Beating The Odds is the 2nd song we wrote in the LTE3 sessions. I jokingly referred to it as “the feel-good song of the Pandemic” in the studio as it has a very upbeat happy feel to it…but also takes a few cool musical twists & turns ranging from the glorious melodic chorus & end vamp to the dark driving solo sections”

LTE3 is set for release on March 26th via InsideOut Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
