Dextronaut

Dextronaut is the first album by the black metal band Velvet Cacoon, released in 2002 via peer-to-peer platforms. The band claims to have originally recorded and released the album in 1998, but this has been verified by SGL as a lie.

Dextronaut was re-mastered and re-released as a double disc set by Full Moon Productions in December 2006. The first disc does not include tracks 8 and 10. The second disc is three ambient tracks. The discs were lost in the mail, but were later recovered and shipped out again.

In 2010, Khrysanthoney released the album as it was originally made with no remastering and with all ten tracks included. This release did not include the second disc of ambient songs.
