Saint Asoniaare digging a little deeper into their self-titled 2015 album, providing fans with a new visual to accompany their song Fairytale.

The video is shot in two distinct venues, weaving in a shadowy, black and white vision of the band performing on a bare stage with a virtual reality fantasy fight scene in the wilderness, featuring strong, superhero women engaged in battle.

Though the band was voted Best New Artist by Loudwires readers back in 2015and the video comes from their first album,the group is continuing work on its sophomore album, tentatively due before the end of this year. In February, the bands Adam Gontiertold a Michigan radio station that they were about halfway done, meaning the writing process is pretty much done. Right now, were just in the stages of demoing what we, as a band, believe are four or five of the best tracks that will be on the record, that we feel are the best tracks, that we are most happy with. And as well, were looking into producers and whether or not were actually going to hire a producer to produce this record.

Between myself, Mike Mushok and bassist Corey Lowery, weve all done some producing in our day, and at this point, a producer isnt one hundred percent necessary, Gontier told the station. So were kind of going through the motions of that and trying to decide what the next step is in the way of production and where were gonna go to record the record. But as for the songwriting, its pretty much done, and were having a really good time putting the finishing touches on the music weve got so far.

When asked how important it is for a rock band in 2017 to work with a producer, Gontier responded, Ive been really fortunate to work with some really great producers Howard Benson and Don Gilmore, and a whole bunch of different guys. I think as a young band, its very important, because as a young band, youre very influential and you definitely need that outside ear to help you move along and help you decide the direction of where you wanna go as a young band. In our case, just because weve done it so many times and weve made quite a few records between all of us, its one of those things that we feel pretty confident that when we finish a batch of songs, or we finish a record that between the three of us, if were happy with it, were almost positive that our fans, definitely our loyal fans as well as maybe some fans that might not have heard of us before are gonna enjoy it as well. Young bands tend to use producers, and I think for a band like us, its one of those things where we dont necessarily need one, but its always nice to have an extra set of ears around regardless.

At this point, there are no tour dates on the bands schedule as they continue to work on new music.
