Saint Asonia’s Adam Gontier On The New “Flawed Design,” Future Band Plans & Off-Tour Hobbies

Saint Asonia – named Loudwire’s Best New Artist of 2015 – sparked into life four years ago when former Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier and Staind guitarist and founding member Mike Mushok decided to turn their joint ambition to make music that is “raw, real, and straight from our hearts” into a new band and a fully-fledged studio outing. The result was Saint Asonia’s acclaimed self-titled debut, released in 2015, which charted entered the Billboard U.S. Rock Albums chart at #2.

A “supergroup” of sorts, the members of Saint Asonia — Gontier, Mushok, bassist Cale Gontier (Art Of Dying) and drummer Sal Giancarelli (Staind) — are collectively responsible for 28 Top 10 U.S. Rock Radio hits, including 17 #1’s. The latest studio effort from Saint Asonia is Flawed Design, which was released on October 25th and includes an appearance by Godsmack’s Sully Erna.

A few weeks prior to the October 25th release of Flawed Design, I spoke with singer Adam Gontier by phone. Among the topics discussed:
– How long Flawed Design was in the works for
– When he and bandmate Mike Mushok first met
– Whether Gontier thinks of Saint Asonia as a “supergroup”
– If Gontier is planning for a third album
– What Gontier does when not touring
– His “last words for the kids”
