apocalypi?
apocalypses?
Oh, wait, hear me out on this.

An on-going series of apocalypse-level of events - surely that would be "apoc..."

Then again, the original meaning has been mostly lost and almost everyone basically conflates the two words.

A notable exception: Larry Wall (of Perl fame) still uses "Apocalypses" in the original sense...

Apocalypses would be more straightforward.

Apocalyptica sounds more fun.

Let's have the revelation(s).

That's what apocalypsis, or openbaring, is: revelation. Hence the name of that last book of the bible.
I can think of a few revelations to root for.
