Биография

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 small village near Barcelona, when its members were only around 14 years old. More than 19 years later, with 5 albums on their backs and spread worldwide, Ankor is a national reference in Spain. In January 2015 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). Their 4th studio album, Beyond the Silence of These Years published in May 2017 raised the band to a new level, allowing Ankor to start their first worldwide tour. White Dragon (2019), was the most ambitious album of the band, without any fear to explore and mix different styles and genres, allowing the band to tour over the world and connect with thousands of new supporters. After almost 2 years without live shows due to the pandemic situation, Ankor was one of the first bands to start a tour over Europe in September 2021, headlining the ‘Music Resurrection Tour’. Prisoner and Oblivion are the new singles of the upcoming album that will be released in spring 2023.
