The Apex Theory came out of Los Angeles in 1999 with an unusual sound for the rock dial: the scales and rhythms of Mediterranean music twisted through progressive rock. The lineup was Andy Khatchaturian, until 2002, with David Hakopyan, Art Karamian and Sammy J. Watson.
The Extendemo EP in 2000, with "Shhh...", and a self-titled EP in 2001 came first, and DreamWorks Records put out their debut album, Topsy-Turvy, in 2002. "Apossibly" is the sound in a nutshell: slippery, off-kilter grooves that lurch and coil, riffs that seem to bend in odd directions, and a heaviness that never quite settles into plain metal.
The band later changed its name to Mt. Helium, and all told it put out three studio albums and three EPs before coming to an end in 2007.
