Art of Anarchy is an American hard rock supergroup formed in 2011.[1] The band features twin brothers Jon and Vince Votta on guitar and drums, current Disturbed bassist John Moyer, and Guns N' Roses' Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal as co-guitarist and producer. Although the band's album features the late former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver vocalist Scott Weiland on vocals, Weiland denied being a member of the band and insisted he was merely hired as a session musician.[2]

History

The band's origins came from a friendship between Bumblefoot and the Votta brothers that dates back many years. Jon Votta and Bumblefoot spoke about putting a band together. It was finally completed when John Moyer joined the band. The band name was created by Vince Votta.[3]

The band started in 2011, with Bumblefoot recording parts for the debut album in between touring with Guns N' Roses.[4] Weiland wrote and recorded the vocals after sharing the song files back and forth with Bumblefoot from 2012 to 2013. Weiland also took place in promotional photo shoots and music videos in October 2014.[5]

Their debut album, which is self-titled, was tentatively scheduled for Spring 2015 and was released in June.[6] On January 21, 2015 they released a 2:06 teaser of the new album.[7] Bumblefoot is the producer and engineer on the album.[8]

The first single to be released from the album was be "‘Til The Dust Is Gone".[9] The album contains 11 tracks.[10]

Weiland distanced himself from the project, stating: "I was never in the band. It was something I did when I wasn't doing anything. I was asked to write some lyrics and sing some melodies on this project, but it's not a band I'm in."[11] However, Thal countered by stating "The five of us made an album together. Scott is currently the singer of the band. It's in writing; (There's) no confusion".[12] Weiland has made it clear that he has no intention of working with the band further, and that the record was a project he was paid to do.[2] Weiland stated "It was a project I did where I was just supposed to have written the lyrics and melodies, and I was paid to do it. I did some production work on it, and the next thing I knew there were press releases that I was in the band. (...) I’m not in the band."[2] Weiland later added "It’s just something I kinda got into when I wasn’t doing anything else.... I sang over these stereo tracks and then sent it back. But it’s not something I’m a part of."[13] Bumblefoot stated on the Talking Metal Podcast in 2015 that Weiland 'came in and agreed to do the whole record'.[4]

On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus around 9PM, just before he was to go on stage in Minnesota with his band The Wildabouts.[14]

On December 22, 2015, "In memory of Scott Weiland...", Art of Anarchy made their album available free online for their fans.[15]
