However, despite the huge setback in the band’s touring plans, the quartet hunkered down as everyone else did and wrote what would become Introvert during their downtime in isolation. In some irony and disheartenment, Saint Asonia’s previous album Flawed Design was never given the proper tour the band long hoped to give the fans.
The seven-track EP has a very fitting title due to the results of the COVID-19 pandemic. For Introvert, to bring new perspectives and ideas to their music, Saint Asonia recruited music producer Anton Delost (cleopatrick, Seaway, Hollow Coves) and recorded the album on the outskirts of Toronto, with Mike recording his parts remotely from his home studio in Connecticut. Saint Asonia is made up of vocalist and guitarist Adam Gontier (ex-Three Days Grace), lead guitarist Mike Mushok (Staind), bassist Cale Gontier (Art of Dying), and their newest addition, drummer Cody Watkins (Art of Dying). Throughout two full-length albums, Saint Asonia (2015) and Flawed Design (2019), they created their own distinct sound to single themselves out in a large pool of rock and metal acts and their previous bands.
The quartet combines select members of Three Days Grace, Staind, and Art of Dying into one captivating supergroup. The Canadian-American hard rock/alternative metal supergroup Saint Asonia is back with their latest offering, Introvert.
