Man, STP is really the band that never dies! Read more on this from Ultimate-Guitar.com:

 Stone Temple Pilots spent the last few months working on a new studio album with producer Don Was. The band currently has tour dates through the beginning of 2010, after which the group is expected to resume recording the CD for a tentative spring/summer release.

“When we get back, we’re going to finish the album,” singer Scott Weiland tells Spinner.com. “And then when we finish the album, there will be a big tour around its release and that will probably be a long tour.”

The upcoming release of Pilots’ sixth studio album and first since 2001’s “Shangri-La-Dee-Da” has been complicated by a contractual dispute between Weiland, drummer Eric Kretz and STP’s label, Atlantic Records.

Stone Temple Pilots were reactivated in 2008 after a six-year layoff, during which time Weiland recorded two albums with Velvet Revolver before being dismissed in April 2008.

Weiland issued a second solo effort, called “Happy In Galoshes”, last November and has been touring on his own behind that release.
