‘Flawed Design’ is the second album by hard rock supergroup, Saint Asonia. Released in 2019, it follows in very much the same vein as the band’s debut, but with more polished songwriting and better production, showing that this is indeed a very legit band, and not just another short-lived side-project.

Admittedly, it was being a fan of former bass player Corey Lowery that led me to discovering this band, and while he’s no longer a member, it hasn’t deterred me from enjoying this album, maybe even more so than its predecessor.

Of course, anyone who listens to contemporary hard rock will know what to expect, and as I said about the bands self-titled debut, Saint Asonia don’t offer anything new or unique, but just good, well-written songs and hard-hitting anthems. Frontman Adam Gontier’s melodic and gravelly voice intertwines perfectly with the crushing guitar riffs of Mike Mushok (of Staind fame), with lyrics once again being drawn upon by personal experiences and thoughts.

Of course, again, this is nothing new, but just good, solid, hard rock. Songs like ‘The Hunted’, ‘Blind’, ‘Another Fight’, ‘’Sirens’, ‘Justify’ and the title track, ‘Flawed Design’, are all absolute bangers that make this an album to own, and demonstrates a band with unlimited potential that are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
