ANKOR is an alternative metal band based in Catalonia (Spain) with female front singer/screamer Jessie Williams (Bristol, UK), drummer Eleni Nota (Athens, Greece), guitarist/singers David Romeu, Fito Martinez and bassist Julio López (Tarragona, Catalonia) formed in 2003 in ‘Els Pallaresos’ a village near Barcelona, when its members were only around 13 years old. More than 20 years later, with several albums on their backs and a worldwide fanbase, ANKOR is now a reference of its genre.
In 2014 ANKOR was chosen best newcomer band by the readers of the oldest and most prestigious rock magazine in Spain and South America; La Heavy (Heavy Rock/Kerrang). The albums, ‘Beyond the Silence of These Years’ (2017) and ‘White Dragon’ (2019) raised the band to a new level, allowing ANKOR to start doing headlining tours over Europe and Asia.
‘PRISONER’, ‘OBLIVION’ and ‘DARKBEAT’ are the new ANKOR singles released in 2023, helping the band to make a huge step forward, reaching a bigger audience and opening the door to big festivals like Wacken Open Air.
