Ankor drop ‘DANZO · lying ghost’ single and video featuring MAH from SiM

Multi-cultural quintet ANKOR — vocalist Jessie Williams (Bristol, UK), drummer Eleni Nota (Athens, Greece), guitarists David Romeu and Fito Martinez, and bassist Julio López (Catalonia, Spain) — are an alternative metal band based in Spain that have been steadily making their name in the scene.

ANKOR have shared the video for new single “DANZO · lying ghost,” featuring MAH from the band SiM, continuing their trend of releasing new songs inspired by the iconic Naruto manga/anime franchise!

“‘Danzo’ is the shadow pulling the strings, turning you into his puppet,” the band explains. “A battle between control and awakening—until the strings finally snap — and featuring MAH from SiM joining Ankor in the fight.”

This spring, ANKOR is touring in North America with BLOODYWOOD, with a handful of headline dates along the way:

The multicultural quintet ANKOR has grown steadily since their origins in Els Pallaresos, a village near Barcelona, back in 2003. From these humble beginnings, Ankor have built a worldwide fanbase and a reputation for being an absolute powerhouse live, through headlining tours of mainland Europe and Asia. But it was with the December 2022 release of breakthrough single “Prisoner” that a new era began.With over three million streams and counting, “Prisoner” has triggered a sonic and aesthetic (r)evolution for Ankor, their musical and visual worlds ascending to new creative heights ever since; The conceptually bound singles “Oblivion,” “Darkbeat,” “Stereo,” and “Venom” that have followed have seen lyrical narratives, sonic aesthetics, and self-directed and edited music videos flow together to reshape Ankor in a playful, energetic, and refreshing new form: a fusion of Asian pop-culture, contemporary metalcore, and a dash of Spanish heritage.
