No, they anchor with every attack.
Though, it seems more like they're spearing you with tridents, rather then singing.

Ooh, you were right.
I usually have my ring and avatar animations off, so I couldn't see the Zzz thing over my head. Plus, this time I did the intelligent thing and killed off one of the guards before experimenting with the other.
The guard hits you once (and binds you), and then disappears. I think, similar to animated like walkers and bootsnakes, they do damage even after the inital hit. I'd get hit and then 36 damage would be taken off a few times while I was stuck. Then I'd be able to move.
I think my mind was stuck on the masks, though, because I'm 98% sure that once they hit you again, you're freed (until they bind you again).
