Serpent's Log, 3rd of March 2023, Waxing Gibbous

Lodgers,
It is with a dry throat and a wet eye that we must bring these news to you.
The Lodge of the Wyrm, as it was known and cherished, as it was borne and grown, must now cease -alas, almost three years since its first manifestation. It’s been a while now that its upkeep has started to become a burden and a decision had to be made. Truth be told, it could slither on by will alone, ignoring the hard facts, but that would only bring a direr doom.

As of today and with a Bandcamp Friday offer active, all remaining physical items in its catalogue will be at a reduced price for clearance, until the morning of the 6th, this Monday, when our Bandcamp page will be shut down and return to oblivion.
We will be forever grateful to the brilliant artists that trusted us with their work and to everybody that supported the Lodge in any manner. The Work may not be done in full, but, in its short span, the message was clear and carried through with true love and devotion.

Fare Well and Tread Careful in these bleak and treacherous times.
The Lodge Will Always Abide!

It was with heartfelt joy and a profound honor that we've found two of our releases among the local scene section of METAL HAMMER GREECE (Official), in its last two Sept. and Oct.) issues. And that because, apart from the obvious, we are its readers and supporters since our early days, since the days of our first musical obsessions, as it is entwined with our very first memories.

Our gratitude and sincere thanks to the Hammer's team and especially to Kostas and Andreas, for taking interest in our little musical fringe, our little obscure alcove of the weird and neglected.

The releases featured are:

Dear all,
If your project looks and/or feels like this, please refrain from sending us your demos.

Thankssssssssss🐍🐍

Psalms and Drones / 2-year anniversary Bundle from Wyrm Lodge Records

Only a true adventure makes the journey home redemptive.

Listen and immerse in the Dungeon Drone:

Wyrm Lodge: Psalms and Drones
/ Double Release and Paraphernalia / 2-year anniversary Bundle

> https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/merch/psalms-and-drones-2-year-anniversary-bundle-2
(see comment section for promotional codes)

The Wyrm ceases its Hiatus. IT ascends. The ritual bells echo once again through the labyrinths of its inner lair and the brazen beacons cast a sturdy light, as two initiates are brought forth to be reborn and revealed.

>< Idylls of the Last King, a renowned craftsman of profound subterranean drones, establishes the scene for the Ascension with a skillful interlacing of tones and resonances. Soul-piercing strings protrude over lush foundations of ethereal and brooding pads and a sense of abandonment gives way to the plerosis. Here, the artist cuts a scission into the subconscious, frees the innermost gist of all existential anguish and throws away the shelling of fear and cowering defenses. ‘Tis a journey inward that follows an upward trajectory -a daring quest of self-truth and serenity.

>< Μέλαν Θεαυγές, in his Interstellar Psalms of Lucifer (Διαστρικοί Ψαλμοί του Εωσφόρου), conducts the next stage of the ritual. Acting as an upstart emissary, he recites through an abysmal grimoire in an over-65 minutes long procession, seamlessly brought together by a crepuscular and fertile imagination. A daring task, in both depth and magnitude, the Psalms are an eclipsed recital of unique value, a pitch-black eulogy to the fallen, the shunned upon and the inherently magnificent. Bare witness to the acclamation of antithesis, an astral a-symphony of the antipode, a ceremony for the perennial antipode.

================

The “Psalms and Drones” bundle includes (see photos): Two pro-dubbed cassettes, a pin, a card, Lodge stickers and printed download codes for both new releases, as well as for the last three Wyrm Lodge entries (from Korath, Mystica Visio and Apokrymna).

The initial preorder for this bundle will stand for seven days, ending on the 22nd of May and is limited to 25 copies. After that, both releases will be made available individually, in physical and digital form.
Alas, the Lodge Abides Still!

The herald has arrived in town. Dressed in purple garments, followed by a scrawny scribe like a bone shadow. His piercing resonant voice floods the narrow alleys, writhing as it should in between walls, as curiously fearful eyes spy between parapets and windosills. The stage is his and this is what he reads:

Lodgers! During the time of silence and seclusion, pandemic has turned into war and we are left alone, counting casualties, distracted and indifferent. We have familiarised ourselves with the spectacle of pain, of loss and displacement. Of souls tormented by the void, of hearts thirsty for truth.
Despair not! Do not abandon hope, frail as it is still nesting within you! For the news I bare forthwith carry a harmonious message guised within. The Lodge of the Wyrm has not abandoned its cause. Two new messengers of its Will shall be brought before you, naked as the reality that now burdens you, mysterious as the gist of the omens that you have heard. As proof and testament of this, I present to you their sigils and here they are!
All will be known in due time. All is not lost. The book is not yet closed shut. Be patient, be aware!

With the last echo of his voice on their trail, the two figures shuffle their feet monotonously and exit the scene, as prudently as they entered. A reminder of their visit now stands on the wall facing the main square. Two imposing murals written in charcoal and ochre:

15/12/2021

Greetings Lodgers old and new, mighty and few!

As promised a while ago, our laboring ghouls set heart and corrupted soul on fabricating a fine piece of garment for all your ritualistic and heresiological needs and we now proudly offer and present it to you.
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/merch/snake-exegesis

Subtly named “Snake Exegesis”, this bundle of cotton and brown tape includes a white t-shirt of the finest quality along with a copy of the “Last of the Ophites” gnostic testament by Apokrymna. On the front side of the t-shirt, the Apokrymna logo melts in black tar and on its back you will find the mighty Wyrm Lodge logo just below your neck.

There are only fourteen (14) available, so make the blasphemous choice and treat your selves with something white, yet impure, to wrap around you. Why the darn not? ‘Tis the end of times after all, and you should indulge.

And yes, The Lodge Abides! 🐍🐍🐍

What’s slithering, Lodgers?
With summer almost gone, the artificial sense of carefreeness wanes along with it and so is our patience with those unable to focus on something other than their own vanity.

Pictured below, is a traditional insect repellent put to use by thousands of worrisome mothers and old-school campers around the globe. Even though considered a tad outdated in our times (well, so is common decency), its form symbolism (and trademark name) reminds those ignorant to the Lodge that it is, after all, a SNAKE that watches over and protects you from harmful bugs, be it on your summer porches or your salt-soaked and minimum hygiene campsites. Unbeknownst to most people, especially the kind we Lodgers do not mingle with, its use is but the burning of an over-the-counter ritual stick dedicated to the magnanimity of the Wyrm. BAZINGA!

Back to the Lodge’s business, we are currently preparing a (soon to be announced) special merchandise release -one that involves a certain upper body apparel and of course SOME SNAKES.
In the meantime, hop over to our Bandcamp for a fresh look on our catalogue.

Korath's Lodge installment is featured in the Order ov the Black Arts (grand name btw) YouTube channel and the Wyrm squirms with joy and delight.

For our second feature in this weeks’ Dungeon Synth Sunday, we present a unique, one-off project by Dimitris Papadatos aka Jay Glass Dubs, inspired by Marvel...

The Snake is never treacherous
-it devours what it needs; nothing more.
Treacherous are the hearts of men who raise their corrupted skulls towards the heavens only when they step on the backs of their fellows.
It is never too late to Appease the Wyrm and save your soul...

Heads Up Lodgers 🦕
The first batch of the "Appease the Wyrm" bundle orders (as seen below - isn't it a beauty?) were posted today. All orders will be fullfiled, ofcourse, albeit in different dates (notifications via Bandcamp will be sent, as usual).
You see, few of our packaging ghouls kicked the proverbial bucket during the recent heatwave and there's a shortage of ample hands. We spent a couple of days just scrapping ghoul goo off the floors. Plus, post offices in the covid19 era are crankier than Pagona's rocking chair, so
Be Patient and Aware.
Goodgood things are headed your way.

IT’S TIME TO APPEASE THE WYRM

After a year of scaly existence, with the world under a new regime of phobia and doubt, The Lodge celebrates with three new releases and a three-fold celebratory bundle.

- Mystica Visio (BR), the acclaimed analog dungeon synthmage, returns with his second offering, a bewitching 7-track album of abounding hauntings and serene permeating melodies.
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/album/mystica-visio-ii

- Korath (GR), the galactic brainchild of Dimitris Papadatos (aka Jay Glass Dubs) pays homage to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with “Hala’s Ruins” -a new age/sci fi synthathlon of interplanetary oscillations and atmospheres from uncharted lands light years from (any) home.
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/album/korath-halas-ruins

- Apokrymna (GR), returns with a somber pad-drenched lament for “the Last of the Ophites” -a gnostic heretic burned at the stake and scorched in the pyre of the Inquisition for seeking what should not be known.
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-of-the-ophites

All three releases are also available in a special one-year-anniversary bundle, along with a bound ritual herb-stick of mountain ironwort and sage and a celebratory card:

A YEAR BEHIND – AN AEON AHEAD (20-21)
For the age that unfolds and the past forgotten. Long Live the Lodge of the Wyrm!

Summer Solstice is here once more so the Lodge is celebrating and sharing all the digital releases for FREE for 24 hours!
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com

The following days our next triple relase and bundle will be announced, including Apokrymna second release and one new entry , that we the Lodgers are thrilled to inculde to our catalogue. Mystica Visio is returning with a more obscure touch to his second album, keep an eye for the announcement for as always the release will be in strictly limited edition!

The Lodge Abides..

03/05/2021

Lodgers!
In the context of resurrections, we believe that that which is dead should stay that way, because there is a purpose even in death and we never want to see reruns of the same twisted paraboles.
That being said, we are slithering towards the next Manifestation of the Wyrm, which is taking material shape as we "speak". With no lack of setbacks and misgivings, this one will be albeit wholesome and special, because our Lodge celebrates a year of scaly existence. Even its digital form advocates to the importance of the timing chosen, as you can see below.
Stay alert for more news from the Lair of the Wyrm.

Tonight one of our recent signed artists Mystica Visio will perform in the Northeast Dungeon Siege MMXXI Festival.
In his set there will be a teaser of the Mystica Visio material soon TBA for a release on the Wyrm Lodge.

Dear Lodgers,
As We descend deeper into a featureless dystopia, ruled by brute force and white-collar machinations, all signs leading us through are false and all prophets are liars.
We therefore chose to divert to a different path downwards. Tis a recoiling path that brings us back to whence we started. You see, We never really took that first step. We are still crawling, stumbling, canceling each other out along this futile way.

The Lodge of the Wyrm urges You to pause, immerse and reconsider. And You can feed your ears with its sombre chants as you do so:
https://wyrmlodge.bandcamp.com/

15/01/2021

Dear Lodgers,
Some people say that desperate times call for desperate measures, but those people know nothing (and hence they are happy).
Others say that a bearded snake with two legs is far more relevant than a TEDtalk about depression. We tend to relate to the latter.

After a somewhat elongated period of silence, the Lodge of the Wyrm is back on its feet (sic) from a necessary slumber and is now preparing for its next move. Reptilian lodge-istics are tricky and scrupulous, so curl up and watch over this snake pit for the announcements to come.

Still here. Still slithering.

Traveling Alone - Hopeless Troubadour

Lodgers!
It's another Bandcamp no-revenue day today and prime time to rejoice and support art that does not conceal the darkness of our age, bringing it instead onto a higher plain of alertness. Just like a hopeless troubadour, it reveals the bare bones of reality, plagued and shattered as they are, lamenting for what we've lost and celebrating what there is left to gain.

It is our plight, it is our impasse.
It is the spirit of our times, haunting the wretched palaces of the Old Age with the creeping echoes of our footsteps as we slowly shuffle towards a brave new world.
A world which we will enter... alone.

Endriell - Memories of Witchcraft

[WLR 010]

Four moons ago, the noble journey of the seeker Endriell has brought him to the spiral gates of the Lodge. After catching a direly needed breath, with a head bursting with spellbound accounts of his tiresome and perilous journey to reach Dera-Gazor, he found rest and shelter in the Lair of Reception and begun unravelling images and narratives of the procession towards his quest.
When finally articulated, the phases of his story begun to take shape and formed an extensive and captivating chronicle that the Lodge of the Wyrm is fervently presenting to you henceforth.
