It has been said we are a hybrid, maybe that is because each person brings in another layer of influence & style and each misfit is subject to changes as the pages burn. The obvious... Glam rock, Goth Rock, Punk Rock, Death Rock, Metal...Then came a touch of evil mixed with faith and a dash of country mixed with hip hop. Finally a good serving of sci-fi & circus/freakshows..
Oh and lets not forget. Zombies, Pirates & Sushi! Such are the things that make us APOX.
The Pages of Time
Hybrid industrial punk meets metal & experimental troupe/band Apocalypse Theatre (also known as Apox) has been around in name since the 90's, and with pride Apox has changed its sound via its membership and from song to song, CD to CD, season to season. Always melding styles & genres, & attitudes as it destroyed itself in fiery crashes a dozen times over, so that Apox would rise again reinvented. We are currently seeking correspondence that leads to yet another reinvention. We have our eyes on the Iowa Cornfields. The Minnesota suburbs & our point of origin "Wash.DC". WE need new blood.
Apox has performed in 45 of the United States, and tallied over 450+ performances since its conception. From the deserts of Nevada's Burning Man festival to the Halls, Clubs, and basements of many many small towns, suburban worlds, and big cities all across the USA. They have shared the bill with Pigface, Switchblade Symphony, Rozz Williams, Das Ich, Rosetta Stone, 45 Grave, Rhino Bucket and dozens of other notable underground favorites.
Apox has released 3 CD's (Angry Angels, Cain or an Open Vein, Lost in America) and each represents a home base. Starting with Wash. DC, then San Francisco, and finally Minneapolis where the core currently resides.
Apox is like a living journal, with an ever changing cast of mutant cyber-pirates, punks, goths, and metal misfits. Hope Hillman & V. Mercy have alternated the role of Captain & co-captain, steering this Titanic love child since birth, and inspiring one mutiny after another, sometimes tearing the ship in half, sometimes drowning the crew & its cargo. Yet, despite the odds, a spark always survives and eventually it ignites the whole damn bonfire / psycho drama on wheels all over again. There is no need for apology, because Apox is not for everyone, nothing is.. but for those who seek something a little different and a little dangerous to dance, gather, laugh, scream, rage & run amok to, we might be your bad medicine.
We live in a perilous age, and the future seems uncertain, so while some of you may seek your dose of escapism within the confines of one or two uniform based genres, we remain wide open to everything ugly and beautiful.
"V. Mercy de la Sangre" proclaims that he is the Captain now, but as Hope stares into the eyes of purity & innocence, another mutiny is being scripted.
its ok we can do it agian and remember you guys have my house to stay at when you come down so you guys shoukld rebook soon just let me know cuz we really want you back

I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time yesterday. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a tune called Run Bobby Run:
