Founded in 2017 by mutli-instrumentalist Aidan Cibich, Apophis quickly established itself as a metal force to be reckoned with, quickly releasing the first full length album "Under A Godless Moon" in the second half of 2017. This album would set the precendent of what Apophis was about, seemlessly blending styles such as melodic death metal, black metal, doom metal and post-rock into a unique blend of instrumental music, which can only truly be described with one word, Apophis.
The foundation set by the first album would be elaborated on in the early stages of 2018 until Septemeber, when Apophis was ready to unleash its sophomore album "Virulent Host"
Drawing on the influences from the first album and delving deep into different ideas, Apophis second album went places only breifly touched in the previous album, bringing more doom elemets to the table, more savage technical riffs and longer, progressive aspects to take the listener on a journy to the very depths of hell and back.
Aidan uses ESP guitars and basses, Hughes and Kettner amps, EMG pickups, Ernie Ball strings and Dunlop guitar picks exclusively
