Ankor have announced their signing to UNFD in style, via the release of wickedly heavy EDM-inspired single ‘Embers’.
Filled with dance-ready synths and throat-shredding screams, ‘Embers’ represents a new era for the Catalonia based metallers, following previous singles ‘Oblivion’, ‘Darkbeat’, ‘Stereo’, ‘Venom’, and breakthrough track ‘Prisoner’.
The conceptually rich track also arrives with an ethereal video directed by the band’s David Romeu.
Check it out below.
Speaking about ‘Embers’, vocalist Jessie Williams has shared:
“‘Embers’ is the sixth chapter of our latest singles and story. A song that mixes EDM with classical Ankor melodies. A song about dealing with loss and grief. We recorded the music video in a beautiful church in London, and we believe it sends the exact message of the track.
“’Embers’ is a journey through the mind of someone living an alternate reality. Dreaming of what could have been…but the truth is much darker, that’s why we represented it with both dresses. It’s a ceremony of what could have been a wedding and ends up being a funeral, in which she dances alone, knowing none of it will ever happen. It can hit as a negative song, but in her sadness there is hope, as she’ll always be connected to her loss.”
Ankor will be taking their powerhouse live show to stages across Europe this summer.
