THE BANNED DESIGN

A Victory for Freedom of Expression - The History of a Censored Design.

We are absolutely proud to bring back the banned for 8 years beautiful "The Republic Of The Unfaithful" design. What makes is so special?

This is the history in very short words:

The Consequences of Absurd Accusations:

In 2016, following an absurd accusation by the ultra-conservative Polish government, Behemoth Webstore was thrust into a nightmare of legal battles and public persecution. We, a respected merchandising company with a reputation painstakingly built over ten years, suddenly found ourselves labeled as criminals. This could not have been further from the truth. The baseless charges led to a massive hit on our reputation, with hateful comments pouring in from supporters of the right-wing government. We were forced to endure multiple visits to the prosecutor’s office, participate in trials, and watch helplessly as loyal customers turned their backs on us. The prosecutor’s ban on “The Republic of the Unfaithful” design led to significant financial losses, as we could no longer sell the merchandise that had been a key part of our business. The impact was devastating.

Now that the case has finally concluded and we have been cleared of all charges, we are determined to make our innocence loud and clear. The re-issue of this design is not just a return of a piece of merchandise; it is a statement of our resilience and a testament to the truth. We lost substantial income due to this injustice, and by re-releasing the design, we aim to reclaim what was unfairly taken from us.

The Story Behind “The Republic of the Unfaithful” Design:


A Controversial Design and Government Persecution:

In 2016, Behemoth, the renowned Polish black metal band, introduced a striking new design titled “The Republic of the Unfaithful.” This design quickly became the target of the ultra-conservative Polish government, which accused the band, the graphic designer, and the Behemoth Webstore of defaming the Polish national emblem. The controversy stemmed from the government’s claim that the design insulted Poland’s state symbols, leading to severe legal and social repercussions.

A Prolonged Legal Battle:

What followed was an eight-year-long legal struggle. Despite the court dismissing the charges against Behemoth twice, the ultra-conservative government persisted, continually appealing the decisions. The legal ordeal continued as long as the government remained in power, turning the case into a symbol of the broader struggle between artistic freedom and governmental censorship.

Political Persecution and Censorship:

This case is widely regarded as an instance of political persecution, where the government attempted to suppress the band’s liberal and libertarian views that clashed with its conservative ideology. The ban on the design was not just an attack on Behemoth but on the broader concept of artistic expression. The situation represented a serious attempt by the government to censor and control creative content that did not align with its values.


A Victory for Freedom of Expression:

In August 2024, with a change in government, the case reached its conclusion. The new administration decided to withdraw the charges, and the court finally dismissed the case. This outcome was celebrated as a significant victory for freedom of expression, emphasizing that even under oppressive conditions, artistic freedom can ultimately prevail.

Why “The Republic of the Unfaithful” Design is Special:

A Symbol of Triumph Over Censorship:

The re-release of “The Republic of the Unfaithful” design is more than just a return of a popular item. It symbolizes a triumph over censorship and government oppression, marking a historic moment for Behemoth and their supporters. After being banned for eight years, its availability once again is a victory for the band and for artistic freedom.

A Testament to Resilience and Endurance:

Throughout this lengthy ordeal, Behemoth remained steadfast in their commitment to their artistic vision. They refused to succumb to government pressure, demonstrating resilience and endurance. The re-release of this design celebrates that unwavering spirit and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs.

A Show of Solidarity:

By purchasing and wearing merchandise featuring “The Republic of the Unfaithful” design, fans can express their solidarity with Behemoth and their stance on artistic freedom. It’s a way to support the band and affirm a shared belief in the right to creative expression.

A Timeless Piece:

The design is not just a symbol of a past struggle; it’s a timeless piece that will continue to resonate with fans for years to come. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a new fan, this piece of merchandise is a must-have in your collection.

A Statement of Defiance:

The re-release is also a powerful statement of defiance against censorship. By wearing or displaying this design, fans are not only supporting Behemoth but also taking a stand for the principles of free expression. It’s a celebration of the victory over those who tried to silence the band’s voice.
