In February 2013, [[Stone Temple Pilots]] parted ways with long-time lead singer [[Scott Weiland]]. The band recruited Bennington to replace Weiland in May 2013. On May 18, 2013, Bennington took the stage at [[KROQ Weenie Roast|KROQ's Weenie Roast]] with the band. The setlist included original Stone Temple Pilots songs, as well as their first single with Bennington on vocals called "[[Out of Time (Stone Temple Pilots song)|Out of Time]]", which debuted on May 19 and was available for free download via their official website. It was later announced by Bennington and the band in an exclusive [[KROQ-FM|KROQ]] interview that he was officially the new frontman of Stone Temple Pilots and discussed the possibility of a new album and tour. The song "Out of Time" is featured on their EP ''[[High Rise (EP)|High Rise]]'', which was released on October 8, 2013.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hartmann |first=Graham |url=http://loudwire.com/linkin-park-joe-hahn-cool-with-chester-bennington-stone-temple-pilots/?trackback=tsmclip |title=Linkin Park DJ Joe Hahn Cool With Chester Bennington's Stone Temple Pilots Gig |work=[[Loudwire]] |date=October 2, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005115340/http://loudwire.com/linkin-park-joe-hahn-cool-with-chester-bennington-stone-temple-pilots/ |archive-date=October 5, 2016 |access-date=July 20, 2017 }}</ref>

Bennington reflected on joining Stone Temple Pilots, stating, "Every band has its own kind of vibe. Stone Temple Pilots has this sexier, more classic rock feel to it. Linkin Park is a very modern, very tech-heavy type of band. I grew up listening to these guys. When this opportunity came up, it was just like a no-brainer." Bennington stated in interviews that singing lead vocals in Stone Temple Pilots was his lifelong dream. He left the band on good terms due to his commitments with Linkin Park in 2015 and was replaced two years later by [[Jeff Gutt]].<ref name="elporvenir1" /><ref>{{cite news |last=Stanisci |first=Grace |url=https://ca.music.yahoo.com/blogs/sound-check/stone-temple-pilots-bash-lead-singer-linkin-park-171532244.html |title=Stone Temple Pilots fans bash new lead singer, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington |work=Sound Check |publisher=[[Yahoo!
