From the heart of Anatolian moorland Ankara/Turkey, comes the first, debut album from Strider.
5 tracks full of catchy hooks, laidback jams and crushing riffs, Midnight Zen is our first story to tell.
''The fullness of the production and the clear intent on the part of Strider to enter into the conversation of modern European heavy is writ throughout that last roll and the album more generally, and their potential to do just that is palpable in these songs.''

''Midnight Zen is the type of album that showcases all the best elements why I love the Psych Stoner Rock/Metal underground scene. This is an album that aims HIGH and succeeds on every level. This feels like Strider’s fourth or fifth album and not their debut. Strider are super-confident with everything they do on Midnight Zen and that also makes this such an irresistible album to own.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.''

''Strider's "Midnight Zen" is a stunning debut that rages and rumbles but also swoons and sways, a perfect balance of light and shade that growls and snarls in the undergrowth one minute and soars majestically among the clouds the next, fuzz and finesse at its finest.''

''Heavy and light at the same time, the album achieves a balance with strong catchy rhythms in contrast to the moments in which the delicate melodies take over the scene, although STRIDER they explore barren territories, they are also capable of exquisitely traveling through magical forests, which once crossed open the doors of an authentic Garden of Eden. This means that this new work can satisfy both those who like desert riffs and the standard-bearers of narcotic 'trips'. ' MIDNIGHT ZEN ' is a lively, fresh, beautiful album with enough ingredients to offer a satisfying and exciting listen to it.''

''Midnight Zen is everything that fans of underground stoner are looking for, and the band is adept at supplying them for us, especially if you take in the fact that this is their full-length debut.''
