Our third announced artist, Foglord, hails from Virginia and released the album "Tales From the Woods" through Out of Season in June of 2020 followed by the "In the Kingdom of Fog" Split in November of that year. Foglord started in 2011, releasing a few demos over the following year before unleashing their first full length, New Realms and Forgotten Lands, in May of 2013. For the last decade they have transported us to serene winter landscapes, through celestial planes, invited us to bask in in the stillness of astral solitude, and take in the Forest of Lights. Foglord is a musical expression of the artist's sense of mystery and beauty in nature and the everlasting connection of all things. https://foglord.bandcamp.com

Our second announced artist, Diplodocus, hails from the Jurassic Period, and released "Tales of an Ancient Past" digitally in August of 2020. This latest offering was released on vinyl by @chimneyrocksrecords .

Diplodocus emerged from its Mesozoic slumber in August of 2019 with the release of Slow and Heavy. Slow horns, beautiful melodies, and sound clips depict a pre-historic soundscape of an ancient time when lumbering behemoths walked the land until a faint burning glimmer in the sky brings the album to it's tragic conclusion. If one cleans the fossil of this celebrated giant they will find that its bones give away a direct relation to other classic giants of the Dungeon Synth genre.

Diplodocus walked amongst men twice in November in 2019, revealing its gigantic might to all that witnessed the events. One sighting was made in Ohio followed by one in Seattle, Washington at Dungeon Siege West. After a few years the earth quakes as the monster approaches once more.

Our first announced artist, Arcana Liturgia, hails from Italy, and released in "The Grey Wanderer" digitaly in July of 2022. This latest offering has just been released on cassette by Dark Age Productions.

Arcana Liturgia is a first wave pioneer, who released three seminal releases in the late 90's, beginning with “MCCXXXI” in 1997. After two decades, the project made a triumphant and prolific return in 2019, starting with "Tales of An Ancient World". Since his return, the Lord of Time has led us down the old forlorn path, to the ruins of the once glittering city of Dalanh, across the Jade Sea, and towards the edge of the known world through annual releases.

In 2020 The Lord of Time was set to grace our stage but mere weeks before the Siege was to begin a dark and foul plague cursed our realm which caused the cancellation of the Siege in the Northeast. At last the time has come for the Lord to make his journey across the sea in order to take his long-awaited place on the stage of the Northeast Dungeon Siege!

Our fourth announced artist, Erang, hails from the Land of the Five Seasons, and released “Imagination Never Fails” in October of 2020.

Since the release of “Tome I” in 2012, Erang has blazed an iconoclastic and highly personal trail through the landscape of the Dungeon Synth revival. Over the course of 18 albums, the artist has invited listeners to explore the deepening lore of the Land of the Five Seasons and the Kingdom of Erang, representing locales and characters in his world with specific musical ideas that develop from album to album. “Imagination Never Fails” is a cinematic tour de force, incorporating dynamic composition with sampled speech and effects to provide a sonic experience that is at times almost visual in quality, an experience which is supplemented by the music videos Erang has created for six of the album’s 10 tracks.

Northeast Dungeon Siege is proud to welcome Erang to our virtual stage, to summon up the full powers of nostalgic creation, and to remind listeners worldwide, that “the Kingdom is Ours!” Bandcamp: https://erang.bandcamp.com/

Our third announced artist, Hideous Gomphidius, hails from Colorado and recently released its sophomore album "Keepers of the Fungal Order" in January. Thee Horrible Witchtroll sent their debut, "Spore Sorcery", through the mycelium in July of 2020. Utilizing many layers of synthesized drones and spare, ominous percussion, this release led the listener on a dark and damp journey that never strayed far from the forest floor. Hideous Gomphidious released "Keepers of the Fungal Order" in January, to guide the listener back to that hazy, psychedelic realm, where we are invited to explore caverns filled with mysterious, ephemeral emanations, and can only hope that we do not find ourselves at the mercy of the Sporelord.

Our second announced artist, An Old Sad Ghost, hails from Austria and recently released "Musikanten Mittelalterlicher Madenmeere" in January. An Old Sad Ghost debuted in May of 2017 with two back to back releases entitled “From the Tombs of Videna” and “An Old Sad Ghost”, after which Lord Sargeburt took a year to work on other projects which focus on other characters in the same world before returning with a steady four releases per year. The Old Sad Ghost wanders through empty halls, depressive landscapes, and mournful memories. While the surrounding instrumentation varies from album to album, the heart of An Old Sad Ghost is filled with romantic melancholy comprised of forlorn horns, doleful strings and beautiful piano melodies.

A multi-instrumentalist working with a custom modular synthesizer as well as digital/analog synths and guitar, Quaeschning joined Tangerine Dream in 2005. Since Edgar Froese's passing in 2015, Quaeschning has served as their bandleader and musical director, stewarding the group (currently a quartet) into a new decade. He has also worked as a film composer both solo and with his group Picture Palace Music. Northeast Dungeon Siege is proud to welcome Quaeschning to its virtual stage, in an explicit nod to the kosmische fabric that exists behind the walls of the dungeon.
