Ankor share new single and video ‘Madara – endless dream’

ANKOR are an alternative metal band based in Catalonia, Spain, fast becoming one of the rising stars in the European contemporary metal scene.

Today, they have shared the video for new single “MADARA – endless dream.” Watch it here. 

“Imagine living in your perfect world for eternity…but knowing the real world outside is dying,” the band offers about the deeper meaning of the song. “An endless dream, no war, no pain, but no freedom or voice. Would you be a part of Madara’s dream?”

What choice would YOU make?

The multicultural quintet, consisting of vocalist Jessie Williams (Bristol, UK), drummer Eleni Nota (Athens, Greece), guitarists David Romeu, Fito Martinez, and bassist Julio López (Catalonia, Spain), have 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 begun.

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.
