By turning inward, Saint Asonia amplify every element of their signature sound. Skyscraping hooks soarhigher, while arena-ready rhythms rattle harder. The guitars cut deeper, and the lyrics resound louderthan ever.The quartet—Adam Gontier [vocals,guitar], Mike Mushok [lead guitar], Cale Gontier [bass],and Cody Watkins [drums]—find power and strength on their aptly titled 2022 EP ,Introvert [SpinefarmRecords].

Saint Asonia initially united two hard rock luminaries under a new banner. Respectively, Adam and Mikehad each reached stratospheric heights in Three Days Grace and Staind, toppling charts, packing venues,and selling millions of records. As such, their union captivated audiences worldwide. In the wake of their 2015 self-titled debut Saint Asonia, Loudwire christened the band its “Best New Artist” at the Loudwire Music Awards. The 2019 follow-up, Flawed Design, yielded the blockbuster single “The Hunted” [feat.Sully Erna of Godsmack], generating over 15 million Spotify streams. In a“4.5-out-of-5-star”review, New Noise Magazine declared,“Any fan of hard rock (whether they’ve listened in recently or not) should giveSaint Asonia a spin.”Plus Loudwire applauded it as one of the“The 50 Best Rock Albums of the Year.”Not to mention, they toured with everyone from Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether to Alter Bridge and Mötley Crüe.

Unfortunately ,Flawed Design never received a proper tour due to the Global Pandemic. However, the musicians buckled down and wrote what would become Introvert during the downtime.

The title was fitting with the way the songs were written,” observes Adam. “We wrote and recorded individually. It’s a weird situation to make a record and not be in the same room as your band. I felt like an Introvert when I was working on these songs.”

This time around, they recorded with producer Anton Delost [Cleopatrick, Seaway, Hollow Coves] outside of Toronto. The producer injected a fresh perspective into the project as did recently welcomed drummer Cody (who played in Art of Dying with Cale). Meanwhile, Mike recorded remotely from his home studio in Connecticut. “We had a blast with Anton,” Adam goes on. “He played a big part in the sonic changes. It’s a little different for us, but it’s still pretty heavy. He understood what we were hoping to accomplish. It’s Saint Asonia. ”The guys initially teased out this phase with a heavy and haunting take on The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” tallying millions of streams. However, they properly introduce Introvert with the single “Above It All.”Airy electronics brush up against clean guitar as Adam declares, “It’s time to take a stand and save our lives.”A chugging verse gives way to an irresistible hook punctuated by a hummable guitar lead.“It’s the first oneI actually wrote,” he recalls. “I wrote it about standing up and paying attention to what you’re told to do as a society and then making your own decisions. You’re not necessarily acting or reacting as people want you to. We’re all told so many things about what’s right or wrong. There was a lot of misinformation.‘Above It All’ is about making the right decision for yourself.” Then, there’s “Chew Me Up” [feat. Johnny Stevens of Highly Suspect]. Johnny’s bluesy timbre serves as the perfect counterpoint to Adam as the slow burning track builds towards a catharsis with teeth.
