Flawed Design is the second studio album by rock supergroup Saint Asonia. The first single from the album, "The Hunted" was released on July 24, 2019. The second single from the album, "Beast" was released on September 20, 2019. The final pre-release single, "This August Day", was released on October 18, 2019.
Flawed Design is the band's first album in four years and follows their 2015 self-titled album Saint Asonia. The band had brought in Cale Gontier to replace former bass player Corey Lowery, they also brought in drummer Sal Giancarelli, of Staind to replace former drummer Rich Beddoe.[3]
For this effort, the band collaborated with other musicians including Breaking Benjamin's Keith Wallen on "Beast", Godsmack's Sully Erna on lead single "The Hunted", Within Temptation lead singer Sharon den Adel lending her voice on the second track "Sirens", and Starset singer Dustin Bates sharing his writing skills on the song "Ghost".[4]
Two bonus tracks, "Say Goodbye" and "Weak & Tired", were released as exclusives for specific Walmart-purchased copies in the US and as standard built-in tracks for all copies in Europe. On December 13, 2019, Flawed Design was released on vinyl for purchase.
Loudwire named it one of the 50 best rock albums of 2019.[5]
