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’, ‘DARKBEAT’ and ‘STEREO’ are the new ANKOR singles released in 2023, helping the band to make a huge step forward, reaching a bigger audience, playing several sold out shows in their headlining DARKBEAT European Tour (October 2023) and opening the door to the biggest metal festivals like Wacken Open Air (Germany), Hellfest (France) or Tuska (Finland).
