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 first announced artist and MMXXI headliner, Thorsten Quaeschning, originates from Berlin, DE, and in 2020 released "The Capitol Session" as a solo artist, as well as Tangerine Dream's "The Sessions VI" and "Recurring Dream". He has recently appeared on Steven Wilson's "The B-Sides Collection" and joined Schiller as a special guest, acting as Co-Composer and performer in the creation of the 2021 release "Summer in Berlin". 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.
