Das nullte Kapitel is a 2017 German hip-hop album by Käptn Peng & Die Tentakel von Delphi.

[1][2] His band, Käptn Peng & Die Tentakel von Delphi includes his brother, Johannes Gwisdek [de], or Shaban, and three other musicians.

[4][5] The band, as with previous albums, uses strange instruments, including among others, concrete buckets, baking trays, brushes, bicycle bells, and an improvised bass made of particle board.

[1][3] Musikexpress called it "academic" in doing so, and MZEE.com further described it as being "often more reminiscent of a poetry slam than a real rap album".

[2][3] Themes explored in the album, as with previous works of Gwisdek, revolve mostly around the psyche, madness and strange monsters, but also life, love and emotions.

[4][6] Julia Lorenz, a reviewer from Musikexpress rated the album 5/6 stars, praising the instrumentation and noting its surreal and dadaist lyrics and themes.

[7] They praised its lyrics as well as the music, saying that the great strength was Gwisdek's "ability to take everyday things and build a new world around them out of infinite brainwaves".

[3] MZEE.com praised its philosophical lyrics and musical experimentation, saying that though the album required one's full attention to be fully appreciated anyone who did so would be rewarded.
