If you are looking for the signed, numbered, boxset edition — that release (Cobalt Aether / Mahakali Ocean) is sold out and will not be reprinted. This is a separate product.
THE APOSTASY returns — strictly limited, no repress.
The Apostasy is a key milestone in Behemoth's modern era — the album where the band pushed their sound into a bigger, heavier, more cinematic direction. For many fans, it's a defining record of the 2000s.
Under the revived New Aeon Musick banner, we present the Shyama Forest Edition (catalogue number AEON027) — a strictly limited 2LP pressing built for collectors, featuring the same deluxe materials and exclusive archival content as the sold-out boxset, now in a new color variant available for the first time.
About the color: Shyama Forest
Shyama is one of Kali's Sanskrit names — meaning "the dark green one." She's right there on the cover of The Apostasy. The boxset had two blue variants (Mahakali Ocean + Cobalt Aether); this edition completes the trilogy as the green counterpart. Dark forest green melting into white, named after the goddess herself. This is Shyama Forest.
Here's what you get:
- Limited to only 333 copies worldwide — no repress, no exceptions.
-
THE APOSTASY 2LP edition includes:
— "THE APOSTASY" deluxe gatefold 1LP reissue (180g, 33 RPM)
— Bonus "THE APOSTATE ARCHIVES" 1LP (180g, 33 RPM) with previously unpublished tracks and rare recordings — available ONLY with this New Aeon Musick edition - Exclusive to Behemoth Webstore: you won't find this edition anywhere else.
- 180g vinyl / 33 RPM: heavyweight pressing for maximum impact — depth, punch, and detail.
-

brand new photo session of the same Kali statue and Pazuzu mask used for the original cover (sculpted by Graal around 2006). - Beautiful 12-page booklet: previously unpublished photos from the album photo session and extensive archival material.
