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. 
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.
