Description: Formed in 2015 amid the stark surroundings of Ankara, Turkey, Strider channel themes of collective struggle and perseverance into their heavy rock sound. Heavy Like a Stone stands out as the band’s most high-energy track to date, driven by a post punk urgency that is not met often in the heavier genres of this kind. Direct vocals pair with touches of fuzz and psychedelia, channeling the burn of a quick, merciless ascent. It’s lean and punchy, like a sharp burst of momentum that shows the band at their most focused.
