OCCD65 / OCLP04 Markus Pesonen – Mielisairaalaan Hakivat - Ällöttävä Sika Perkele CD

https://oldcaptain.bandcamp.com/album/markus-pesonen-mielisairaalaan-hakivat-ll-tt-v-sika-perkele

A CD reissue of the debut solo album by the mastermind of a Finnish neo-classical / bombast Karjalan Sissit project, Markus Pesonen. The album title in English means "Applied for a Mental Hospital" and it perfectly describes the edgy state of an institutionalized sociopath whose blackout is channeled through deranged powerful industrial undertones, punk angst and metal noise juggernaut. A true post-industrial anthem of self-destruction. Originally released via Erebus Odora, Sweden, in 2005.

The CD version is limited to 300 copies in a digipak with a random A3 poster.
The LP version is limited to 300 copies of Black / Purple / Dark Blue colour (100 each) with an A2 poster.

Streicher - Annihilism CD (OCCD10)

Old Captain is proud to offer a CD release of a true non-conformist artist - Ülex Xane and his vehement project Streicher. Streicher is one of the Industrial underground legends. Starting in Australia in the mid 80s with early projects such as Psy.Phalanx and Nife Junger, Ulex Xane began his Power Electronics/nOise project Streicher with a series of tape releases on his own label Zero Cabal. Originally inspired by his contact with Come Organisation (William Bennett of Whitehouse) and Broken Flag (Gary Mundy of Ramleh), Xane developed Streicher into his own unique style of Power Electronics, which came to be known as 'Oi Noise', extreme noise released mostly on cassette and distributed through the tape networks up to the early 90s which are now sought after collectors items. Streicher utilises a mix of total power noise with covert military recordings. A monument to futility, Streicher's "Annihilism" recording is a stark comment on the current war without end. Recorded at Anal Ripper Studio in 1989-1991 and originally released by Zero Cabal in 1995. Old Captain's 2015 special 20th Anniversary re-issue edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak.

Keep reality left behind and enter the narcosis before the advent.

Remete – Odabenn CD (OCCD14 / TWR 1.139) 
Janos Madura, a talented Hungarian artist, formerly known by his project Our God Weeps and albums on Hau Ruck and Ars Benevola Mater labels, presents his current incarnation as Remete, a hermit project of absolution. Dark ambient of the highest order co-mingled with powerful ethereal, neo-classical and martial industrial elements in the vein of Cold Meat Industry projects impresses even die-hard ambient congregation. This is a ritual executed by a priest in the metaphysical ‘Odabenn’ sacrament. Music of hope and forgiveness in the dark ambient realm.

Die Weisse Rose - White Roses in Bloom in Kyiv OCCD15 

As a part of 'The Honour of Silence' 2015 tour with Death in June, Die Weisse Rose performed a memorable ritual in Kyiv with an impressive line-up of Thomas Bøjden, Kim Larsen (Of The Wand & The Moon) and Gary Carey (Joy of Life). DWR's classical tracks from the debut album were executed with a puissant vigour and true honour, while the final part interpreted a Ukrainian folk melody that became a lament song during Ukrainian Revolution of 2013-2014. "White Roses in Bloom" gives a perfect chance to listen to the project live when it is at its most potent and emotional artistic edge. A standard 200-CD edition in matte laminated Digipak. There is also a special edition with a T-Shirt and an artistic edition made by Thomas Bøjden.

Smell & Quim "Jesus Christ / The Jissom Killers" 2CD 

Old Captain presents long sought-after two early vinyl only releases from the grand noise masters! Smell & Quim is a freeform improvised noise band. Their output has largely been concerned with diverse taboo topics such as fetishism, alcoholism, pornography and necrophilia and is of a nihilistic and absurd nature. Their rare live shows straddle the line between music and performance art, influenced and inseminated by performers such as Throbbing Gristle, Richard Youngs, Neil Campbell and Hugh Metcalfe. Professionally remastered from the original Ampex 456 reels recorded in 1990/1991 respectively, the current 2CD edition pays homage to one of the most bizarre and unconventional projects in the counterculture. Classical glossy white 4-panel Digipak with a special booklet inside preserving all the provocative and disturbing pictures of the original vinyls released two decades ago via Tesco and Stinky Horse Fuck labels. Evocative dark industrial and lo-fi noise to those who love Jesus in Quim. Limited edition of 200 copies.

Claustrum, the leading group of the industrial Latvian scene, offers a collection of their finest recordings from the early period between 1992-1997. A dismal, mournful and pensive retrospective glimpse into the distant past stirs the murky waters to reveal their evocative secrets full of grief and melancholy. Orchestral dark ambient and darkwave music true to the Nordic spirit from the Baltic wastelands. Limited to 250 copies in a matte-laminated Digipak.

OCCD33 Vladimir Hirsch – Scripta Soli CD 
Scripta Soli ("The writings of the earth") is a thematic contemplation triggered by a great Czech artist in the form of a fictive experience during an apocalyptic war catastrophe, perceived by a person imprisoned in the bunker. Epically dramatized, it consists of 12 figurative parts to strip moral vacuum accumulated by memories, fears, visions and expectations of the inevitable, like echoes from the devastated core, sonically interpreted by the ground and aborted on the surface. Vladimir Hirsch offers expressionist sharpness and contrast to gouge out the focal sound from the background cacophonous substance to evoke stark and haunting imagery behind. Proving his expertise and repertoire he renders field recordings, electroacoustic and digital techniques through his typical metamorphic musicalization of primarily non-musical elements realizing the shrill, dynamic realities of the inner conflict: the titular sonic earth eventually turns into a grave. Limited to 300 copies in a full-colour matte-laminated Digipak.

Chöd ‎– Bardo Thodol 2CD (OCCD34)

https://oldcaptain.bandcamp.com/album/ch-d-bardo-thodol

The Tibetan word "Chöd" means "to cut off' or "to slay", represented in icons by the victory banner and ritual knife. In Chöd, an adept symbolically offers the flesh of their body in a form of a tantric feast. The skin of the practitioner's body represents surface reality or maya: it is cut from bones, the true reality of the mindstream. The similarities between the Chöd ritual and the prototypical initiation of a shaman are obvious, although there is an essential difference between the two: the shaman's initiation is involuntary, whilst a Chod(pa) chooses to undertake the ritual death of a Chod ceremony as a will. Traditionally, Chöd is regarded as challenging, potentially dangerous and inappropriate practice for meditating practitioners. An external Chöd is to wander in fearful places where there are deities and demons, whereas an internal Chöd offers one's own body as food to the deities and demons: the Ultimate Chöd is to realize the true nature of the mind and cut through ignorance. Enter the charnel fields of the obscure monk of the Chöd project to witness the offering of a corpse to the vultures of the tradition that inspires terror. The object of ignorance, the root of samsara, which is holding the "I" as truly existent must be killed as the inner enemy, delusions, and the way of the dharma practice: to achieve liberation, ultimate happiness, cessation of all the sufferings, rebirth and death. Pure occult Evropean tradition in flesh and bones to hurt you. Filed alongside Zero Kama or Ain Soph. Raw, elemental, primordial 22 tracks / 100 minutes of the original ritual retrieved from 1996-1999 DAT-tapes. The layout is executed by Mauro Berchi (Eibon Records). A 300 2CD edition of Chöd's legacy in a 4-panel matte-laminated Digipak.

Caroline K ‎– Now Wait For Last Year CD / OCCD35 

Old Captain re-releases a masterpiece of experimental electronic music commemorating 30 years since its first release in 1987! "She was unique. Had a bad time in her childhood, her later years were never comfortable. But somehow she got an intensity, feeling of direction. Anything she didn't know, she just learnt it. Awful history in the countryside, then in London, carrying the banner against injustices. I was in the studio many times with her, the single mindedness. Brilliant technician. Long time before sampling took hold, Caroline had 4-track loops, proper innovation. A bit insecure, had to be in a band (natural for the period) to begin, but when she got on her own, I honestly think her material is up with the best classical musicians, with rock'n'roll - just listen."- by Danny Ayers, Nocturnal Emission, husband of Caroline K. Limited to 300 copies in a 4-panel matte-laminated black & white Digipak.

OCCD38 / NOF105 No Festival Of Light – Divide Et Impera 2CD

No Festival Of Light is the best kept secret in the annals of dark industrial Swedish tradition. For decades Fredrik Bergström's guilty pleasure lingered at the backyard of the world to sporadically cast a shadow of minimalist ritualism and evaporate in enchanted air again. An unorthodox approach and such deceptively simple music itself stirs all the senses to trigger morbid addiction, affection and unconscious share in blasphemous conspiracy. The 2CD set manifests rhythmic and ambient mind-numbing versatility of the project ranging from the debut "Divide Et Impera" (1994) mixed by Jouni Havukainen / In Slaughter Natives, to cryptic "Tape 1" (1996) originally released by Slaughter Productions, to various arcane compilation tracks featured on labels like Abyss, Slaughter, Thaglasz, Art Concept, to rare unreleased two live sets in Belgium and the USA in 1998/99. "Within the pleasures of the flesh, rests the Salvation of the human spirit". For the lovers of early Cold Meat Industry and Slaughter Productions era, projects like Morthound, Ordo Equilibrio or Kranivm. A 2CD edition in a 4-panel gloss-laminated Digipak in edition of 300 copies. Co-released with Eibon Records. The special edition comes with a T-Shirt.

OCCD45 IRM ‎– Virgin Mind 2CD 

Recorded as far back as 2001-2002, and first released on Cold Meat Industry in 2005, IRM’s highly acclaimed third album 'Virgin Mind' is finally re-released. The album marked a radical change in the band's direction, leaving the power electronics opera of 'Oedipus Dethroned' for an even more ritualistic, experimental and epic sound. 'Virgin Mind' was recorded in an analog 24 channel recording studio and included a variety of vintage synthesizers and acoustic instruments such as trombones, organs, pianos, violins, and percussions. This was the soundtrack for IRM’s now infamous, bloody performance actions (heavily inspired by the spectacles of Hermann Nitsch and the Vienna Actionists), which often led to open fistfights between the band and the venue managers. 'Virgin Mind' is a bleak and disturbing work which resonates even stronger in today's watered down industrial music scene. The double CD set includes brand new artwork from founding member Martin Bladh. 

A 4-panel full-colour glossy Digipak. Limited to 300. 
A special edition comes with an A3 double-sided poster with lyrics. Limited to 50.

Slogun ‎– Nothing. Ever. CD (OCCD44 / SLO107) 

“Nothing you do will ever matter. Nothing. Ever.” The first full-length release by American True Crime Electronics project Slogun, aka John Balistreri, since “I Will Bury You” in 2013, features eleven new tracks, the last of which is the 12-minute piece “Just For One Day” from his side-project “Self”. Continuing his journey inward, “Nothing. Ever.” delves deeper into self-hate, disgust and the absolute exhaustion of escaping the foundation of which his life was built on: failure and all of its expectations and realizations. Tracks 1 through 10 offer up Slogun at its truest, spewing truth about self-actualization, manipulation, denial and justification, while track 11 has “Self” finishing everything off with pure defeat. The end of it all. Featuring Slogun’s own art and handwriting, “Nothing. Ever.” quite possibly closes out a 23-year journey through the depths of one-man’s disgust at himself, at the notion of “civility”, at victimization and of the human animal. Brooklyn, NY. Somerset, NJ. 1996-2019. F.T.W. A regular CD edition in a 6-panel gloss-laminated Digipak in edition of 300 copies. The special edition comes with an A3 poster limited to 50. Co-released with Eibon Records.

OCCD51 Navicon Torture Technologies – Insanity 2CD 

A completely remastered album of the fin de siecle period of true American death industrial / heavy electronics / grim ambient. A resurrection of a classical album almost forgotten...

Ukrainian industrial label OLD CAPTAIN presents INSANITY, a double CD reissue of the classic cassette by NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES, originally released by LSD ORGANISATION in 2000 AD. Disc One contains the original cassette material, with a previously unreleased bonus title track, retooled for this edition. Disc Two features never before released material covering the project's formative years.

INSANITY serves as a revealing historical document of a notable American power electronics project between the years 1997-2001.The release remastered by John Stilling (Steel Hook Prostheses studio) comes in a 6-panel matte-laminated Digipak limited to 300.

OCCD48 Skrol – Eschaton CD
Bandcamp: https://oldcaptain.bandcamp.com/album/skrol-eschaton
A musical application of a geometric symbolism of certain mechanisms of the psyche. Aptly conceptualized as fractal musical geometry. Signals of interval logic, rhythm, construction and instrumentation, and sound are used for this purpose. A simply structured but emotionally tense atmosphere is created in which instrumentation plays the role of inner structure, industrialized sound that of the chaotic and the vocals a passionate element, significantly potentiated by fiery existential lyrics.
Limited to 300 copies in a full-colour gloss-laminated Digipak.

2021 OCCD53 Vladimir Hirsch - Katagenesis CD

Three opuses by Vladimir Hirsch with similar thematic framework, associated with the meaning of the album's name, however of different means of expression:

(I) Symphony No.5 "Axonal Transit", (tracks 1-4; Parts I-IV)
(II) Symphony No.6 "Metaspheres" (tracks 5-10; Parts I-VI)
(III) Hymn (track 11)

(I) "Axonal Transit" - A four-part composition, considered "Symphony No.5" for electronics, strings, brasses and percussion manipulated by integrated techniques, consisting in temporal and spatial variations blending of musical themes with ambient structures in the position of anchoring, however billowing matrix. There are used methods of antithetical, parametric or aleatoric articulation of sub-themes.

(II) 'Metaspheres" - A six-part composition, considered "Symphony No.6" for integrated techniques and sonically manipulated strings with cosmogonic, but replete of dense compressed atmosphere, microtonality and intense insight into amorphic harmonic structures. This is one of Vladimir Hirsch's albums working with the theme of the dialogue between space and detail, cosmos and human. The parallel vertically and horizontally organized chaotic atonal melodic elements contrast with the slow, heavy rhythmical patterns.

(III) "Hymn" - Structural variations on theme of traditional Czech chorale "St. Wenceslas" with the origin in 12th century, in integrated digital and analog sonic form and design of the orchestral instrumentation.

Limited to 200 copies in a full-colour matte-laminated Digipak.
Release date: December 2020.

2021 OCCD52 Advokat Ihrer Hoheit – Rückschau 2CD SEMI-OFFICIAL

A short-lived side project of Söldnergeist, Alexis Weimer.
Includes "Opferbereit" and "Studien Uber Den Zerfall" records from 1993, both released by Art Konkret, compilations tracks on such labels as Slaughter Productions, Tesco Organisation, Blaster Records and Hands Productions, and a few unreleased tracks. Re-recorded and remastered in 2019.

Semi-official status: back in 2019 I was about to produce this compilation album and got the audio master from the mastermind behind the project. I pre-ordered the complete 2CD/Digipak production at the pressing plant and paid 75% of the total cost (a 4-digit price). But I never got the artwork from the project and Alexis was aware of the fact I had pre-paid the production. I quarreled and the album was put on ice. Since then the pressing plant had been permanently closed due to the pandemic and no funds reimbursed.

I am making this pre-order and eventual release to cover the expenses I had invested.

The artwork features the two images I got from the artist in 2019.
The limited edition of 100 copies.
