High Rise is the name of the EP and sole release by Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington.

Background

Stone Temple Pilots fired their long time lead singer Scott Weiland on February 27, 2013 which resulted in a legal battle. In the end, the band was still allowed to use the name Stone Temple Pilots without Scott.

On May 18, 2013 at the KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, California, Stone Temple Pilots performed as the surprise act before 30 Seconds to Mars (the second to last act before The Black Keys). To the surprise of everyone, Chester Bennington was the front man for the band. The thread from LPLive that night read, "In a move that has caught seemingly everyone from the Linkin Park fanbase to the Stone Temple Pilot fanbase to music fans in general off guard, Chester joined the Stone Temple Pilots on stage at the 2013 KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, CA as the lead singer for the band. The band was the "surprise guest" of the show, similar to what Foo Fighters did to Linkin Park in 2011 at the show - showing up and playing unannounced as a surprise. A timed release of a brand new song "Out Of Time" to KROQ followed the performance, with STP issuing a press release and Chester even confirming that he hasn't left Linkin Park."

KROQ added: "If seeing is believing, the audience at Weenie Roast 2013 definitely left as believers in the power of music. The unbelievable magic of the night was doubly-amplified after all the amazing sets earlier when sonic swamis of alt-stadium rock, Stone Temple Pilots, brought Chester Bennington from Linkin Park out as a featured vocalist." Rolling Stone said, "As the rotating stage turned around following a joyous set from Vampire Weekend, the opening notes of Stone Temple Pilots’ "Vasoline" filled the Verizon Wireless Ampitheater. On the drum riser, a man stood with his back to the audience until it came time to deliver the opening line, "One time a thing occurred to me." And with that, the venue exploded as Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington turned and leaped into action, filling in on this night for the recently fired Scott Weiland."

After KROQ debuted "Out of Time" on the radio immediately after the performance, the band issued a press release, updated their website, and provided fans with a free download of the track. "Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we’ve admired for a long time," said guitarist Dean DeLeo. "We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together. We managed to find the time to record a song and we’re all really happy with the result." Chester said, "I've loved STP since I was 13 years old and they've had a huge influence on me. When the opportunity came up to do something creative with them, I jumped at the chance. The guys in Linkin Park have been incredibly supportive of me undertaking this project while I've continued to work on new music with LP."

Chester added on Twitter: "Just played the first show with STP! It was fucking AMAZING!", "Check out our new song available for download free now at http://stonetemplepilots.com", and "FYI, I will never leave LP. We are currently working on a new record and its awesome!"

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Chester said, "When you get together and put a new piece in, there's a whole different energy. For us the creative juices have just been flowing - we've been writing, we have tons of great ideas. Next week we're going back in the studio and hammering out some more music. We don't have a label. Everything ' doing is on our own, so we're just taking it one track at a time. We would love to sit down and hammer out a record, but the reality is we're gonna make music, we're gonna make a lot of it, and we're gonna be in a position to release a single at a time, go out and really give people music the way they want to get it. It is a good position to be in, and for us, all we care about is going out, making the legacy as great as it needs to be, as great as people expect it to be, and coming out with new music that lives up to that standard."[1]

Bennington said in May 2013 of new material that the band would not likely record a full-length studio album in the near future, explaining: "We don't have a label. Everything we're doing is on our own, so we're just taking it one

On October 3, 2013, Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington's complete stream of the EP could be seen and heard on Pandora Radio for Pandora Premieres, including the singles "Out of Time" and "Black Heart" that were featured on the EP officially.[2]
