Originally released in 1998, Pandemonic Incantations marked a crucial turning point in Behemoth’s evolution—from their early black metal roots into the more complex, aggressive fusion of black and death metal that would define their later work. With this third full-length, the Polish horde expanded both sonically and thematically, offering a darker, more layered sound while continuing to sharpen their lyrical focus on occultism, anti-dogma, and self-deification.
Now, over 25 years later, Metal Blade Records proudly presents a definitive reissue of Pandemonic Incantations, available September 12, 2025. This expanded edition features 7 bonus tracks, including the “Bewitching the Pomerania” EP and rare rough mixes. A 20-page booklet dives deep into the album’s legacy with archival photos, liner notes, and brand-new interviews reflecting on the record’s lasting impact. The reissue also features new cover art by Eliran Kantor, paying tribute to the original artwork while reimagining it through a contemporary lens.
This reissue is not just a nod to Behemoth’s past—it’s a vital piece of extreme metal history, reborn for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
