NEWS
2006 and 2007 didn't see much action but as of 2008 Ankhor is as active as it ever gets and the hopes are to have a first cd-r release probably by early 2009 with extracts already being uploaded in 2008.

Crown of Sympathy
Empty or not, this is where I find my final rest
Conspiracy of Locks
Society Crippled by Lack of Interest
Birthplace or headstone
Self disgust vomited straight from my lungs
Le mirroir vide (extrait 8')
Le mirroir vide (extrait)
And where he went
Belgian deep, dark ambient with increasing funeral doom influences. Negativity with a gloomy, grey lining.
Why this name?
Angkor (the Cambodjan temples) as a symbol of past glory and forgotten splendor
Ankh = Egyptian for life (to avoid the obligatory Latin) and an anchor, both as a symbol of resurrection, rescue and hope
These three themes are omnipresent in the lyrics and the ideas behind the music.

Band History:
Ankhor started somewhere in 2004 as an outlet for ideas and emotions that did not fit into the other bands/projects of the band members.
In sharp contrast to what some sites mention, there was never any release (official or unofficial) though 1 song not found on the net should have appeared on a label compilation in 2004/2005. This compilation never saw the light of day.
Other than that there were no release plans though the initial surprisingly good reception of "And where he went" made us think of a theme that would be suitable for a full release.
2006 and 2007 didn't see much action but as of 2008 Ankhor is as active as it ever gets.
One song has been in the works in 2009/2010 for future release on a compilation cd/cd-r.

Your influences?
Doom, especially funeral doom; dark ambient. Also blackmetal, but that isn't reflected in our music.
