You are ordering the Shyama Forest edition

This is the Shyama Forest color variant, pressed on 180g vinyl. Only 333 copies exist worldwide.

Important: there is no other version of this release on the market. This is a Behemoth Webstore / New Aeon Musick edition — exclusive and available only here.

Don't sleep on this — once they're gone, they're gone for good.

This edition does not include:

No collector's box — The Apostasy comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve; The Apostate Archives in a separate single sleeve. No outer box.
No band signatures — the records are not signed by Nergal, Inferno or Orion
No hand-numbered certificate — there is no letterpress certificate included

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— Bonus "THE APOSTATE ARCHIVES" 1LP (180g, 33 RPM) with previously unpublished tracks and rare recordings — available ONLY with this New Aeon Musick edition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.
