Saint Asonia is a Canadian-American rock supergroup formed in Toronto, Canada in 2015, consisting of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Adam Gontier, lead guitarist Mike Mushok, bassist and backing vocalist Cale Gontier, and drummer Cody Watkins. The band formed after Gontier's departure from Three Days Grace in 2013. In April 2014, Staind guitarist Mike Mushok and ex-Three Days Grace singer Adam Gontier began writing songs together, without the intention of creating a band. Adam Gontier co-founded Three Days Grace in 1992, recording four albums with them before parting ways in 2013. The duo later enlisted former Finger Eleven drummer Rich Beddoe and former Dark New Day bassist Corey Lowery to complete their lineup. In 2017, Rich Beddoe left the band and was replaced by Mushok's Staind bandmate Sal Giancarelli, and one year later Corey Lowery left to join Seether, with his place taken by Gontier's cousin Cale Gontier. Their debut self-titled album peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 and sold 13,000 copies in its first week. 'Flawed Design' was officially released on October 25, 2019. On October 3, 2024, Gontier returned to Three Days Grace full-time, with Matt Walst remaining a lead vocalist as well, and Saint Asonia promptly announced a temporary hiatus.
