Stone Temple Pilots Profile
Stone Temple Pilots have subdued cravings for their heavy strand of power rock with new EP, High Rise. They're joined by Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, a potentially confusing gambit that, after repeated listening, proves not to be a deterrent. Standout track Black Heart transforms Bennington's voice from angst to rounded rock star, melding with the relentless power strums and classic timing. The accompanying tracks follow suit with glamorous wailing guitars, their catchiness undeniable and each following on with cruisy confidence from the last; an effortless yet impressive release from the now-foursome.
