The name "Apothys" was made up by the band in December 2004. Many people get it confused with the villain named Apophis on the hit serious "Stargate SG-1" on the sci-fi network. Apophis is also an Egyptian god of death - the uncreator. There is an asteroid that may potentially hit the Earth in 2029 also name Apophis or Apothis. However, the name "Apothys" has nothing to do with gods of death or destruction. Apothys is simple a noun. Apothys is and will always be the band created in 2004 by a few metal heads looking to contribute to something great.
