Ankor, stylised as ANKOR, is an alternative metal band from Catalonia, Spain with female front singer/screamer Jessie Williams, drummer Eleni Nota, guitarists/singers David Romeu and Fito Martinez and bassist Julio López.
History
The band formed in 2003 in Els Pallaresos, a village near Barcelona, when its members were around 13 years old. In 2014 ANKOR was chosen best newcomer band by the readers of Spanish and South American rock magazine La Heavy.
In 2014, the band took on a new British-Spanish vocalist Jessie Williams, who has cited a lack of demand for metal music in Spain as their reason for moving away and focusing on the global market instead.
In 2024, the band signed with Australian label UNFD and released their label-debut album, Shoganai.

Originally a power metal band, they have since evolved their sound into a fusion of metalcore and EDM. In an interview with The Pretty Cult, Jessie Williams has cited Japanese culture as a significant influence on their music, as well as Falling in Reverse, Maximum the Hormone, hip-hop and even classical music.
