Ankla was formed in 2001[citation needed] by Puya guitarist Ramón Ortiz. The band independently released a self-titled 7-track EP in 2002, produced by Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga.
On April 8, 2006, it was announced that Ankla signed with Bieler Bros. Records.[2] Their debut album Steep Trails was produced by Bob Marlette, and was released on July 25, 2006.[3]
In 2007, Ankla played the second stage at Ozzfest. In 2008, the band's line up changed, replacing former singer Ikaro Stafford with Eddie Macias, who had previously worked with Ramón Ortíz in the early stages of Puya.[citation needed]
