On May 31, Godz Ov War Productions will release the long-awaited, third album by the MUSSORGSKI project, this time entitled “Creatio Cosmicam Bestiae”. The record contains eight premiere tracks which disturbingly mix alienated industrial, dark metal and cold ambient.

Both musically and lyrically wise, the new material is much different from previous accomplishments of Khorzon, primarily known from the black metal Arkona. The compositions are definitely more complex and spacious, there are more orchestrated parts that provide the tracks with a solemn yet apocalyptic atmosphere. Original melodies play an important role too, providing the whole stuff somewhat assimilable, hit nature at times. Undoubtedly, “Creatio Cosmicam Bestiae” is the most experimental yet the most balanced and mature Mussorgski’s work. Khorzon takes us on a nearly one hour long journey to his own, inhuman world, where he tries to tame the omnipresent Chaos, to find the magic Katharsis, and to explore the nature of the Universe.

The album was recorded at the Church of Chaos Studio. The cover was designed by Mentalporn, and the layout was developed by Marckus.

Tracklist:
1. Gaaya – The Planet Of The Dead
2. God Is In The Neurons
3. Stellar Core
4. Sabbathum In Perpetuum
5. Key To The Universe
6. Inverted Aeon
7. Implanted Consciousness
8. Paradisum

This autumn, MUSSORGSKI will be putting finishing touches on their third studio album, enigmatically entitled Creatio Cosmicam Bestiae. The whole record is to comprise seven brand new songs and an older track remixed. In total, there is to be about 45 minutes of music which the project leader, Khorzon, defines as follows:

‘The new album has been assumed to be a stylistic continuation of Chaos And Paranormal Divinity; still, once demo versions of a few new tracks had been recorded it turned out the stuff was going to be much more experimental and diversified. I have always found it hard to define music on our releases but this time I may take the risk of claiming that it is going to be a conglomerate of dark metal, black metal, industrial and something I refer to as cosmic ambient. I guess it is going to sound mystical’.
