Scott Weiland Announces New Album, ‘Blaster,’ Coming in March
Scott Weiland will resume his solo career in 2015 with a new album, 'Blaster,' due March 31, and a U.S. tour scheduled for the winter and spring.
Recorded with his band the Wildabouts, 'Blaster' contains what Weiland promises is a sound that will appeal to fans who've enjoyed his work with Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. For a small sample of what to expect from the new LP, you can check out the video announcement he recorded above.
"The album has its own distinctive sound," Weiland explains in a press release, "but it also can entice those Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans who have stuck by me. Over the years, I’ve gone back and forth between art records and being in a band. This is a hybrid. What we’ve come up with is really heavy, slinky and sexy. There’s a lot of fuzz. The best way to describe it is ‘furry.' I knew I wanted to make a rock record. It all just came together."
