Ancalagon...it’s coming

About Me

Formed during highschool by guitarist Christian "Twiggy" Carter and Francis "Kenny" Daly in early 2006 the two set out to create a new powerful sound, frustrated with how predictable, bland and soulless modern music has become.

The bands' first gig saw Ancalagon playing with local bands such as Ro Armu Tani, My Last Wish and Escape Route Romantic, at the Mackay PCYC, where Ancalagon played in front of a crowd of 250+

Drawing influence from bands such Katatonia, Agalloch, Drudkh, Opeth, Porcupine Tree and many more, Ancalagon offer a unique and unpredictable sound.

After many set backs due to former members of the band, Christian and Francis decided to retreat from the live scene for some time to focus on writing more material, with plans now set for a limited EP release in early 2009 and recording of a full length album featuring new material.
