In a new interview with Broadcasting & Cable, Showtime executive VP Kent Sevener reveals that a documentary project is in the works about Stone Temple Pilots, the band whose troubled but charismatic singer, Scott Weiland, was found dead of an accidental overdose late in 2015.

“Not a lot has been done about the band,” said Sevener, who promises “a compelling story.”

Stone Temple Pilots are streaming the new song "The Art Of Letting Go", featured on the band's new self-titled album, out March 16th. Listen to the track below.

Stone Temple Pilots marks the band’s first album with the new lead singer, Jeff Gutt. Despite being one of the best-selling bands of the 1990s with platinum records and a Grammy to its credit, guitarist Dean DeLeo says, “We are thrilled about what lies ahead. The best way for us to honor our past is to keep making new music.”

The band does just that on Stone Temple Pilots. The first single “Meadow” (lyric video below) and “Never Enough” channels the gritty guitars and swaggering rhythms that STP perfected on Core (1992), Purple (1994), and No. 4 (1999). “Roll Me Under” (available for streaming below) glides along a nimble bass line before slamming into the chorus, where Gutt’s baritone digs in.

Pre-order the album today at stonetemplepilots.com and receive instant downloads of “Meadow” and “Roll Me Under” Exclusive bundles are also available on the site, including vinyl, t-shirt, and a limited edition, hand signed lithographs by the band. The album will also be released on vinyl on May 25th.

When asked what to expect on the upcoming tour, Robert DeLeo says,” With so much time and experience gone by in life we feel compelled to dig back into a 30-year catalog and really try to reflect and choose what songs haven’t been performed live. We want to give people who have come to see us in the past a chance to hear something they haven’t heard before at previous STP shows. We want to celebrate this time in our lives with our performances.”
