The Apex Theory was formed in 1999 by Armenian-American musicians Ontronik “Andy” Khachaturian , David Hakopyan (drummer and bass player of Soil / System of a Down respectively), and Art Karamian following Khachaturian’s injury and subsequent departure from System of a Down. Sammy J. Watson joined the band after they were unable to find a committed drummer. The band released its first extended play , Extendemo , in 2000. The following year, they signed with DreamWorks Records , releasing their second EP The Apex Theory on October 9, 2001. The band performed at the main stage during the 2001 Warped Tour , and as co-headliners at the 2002 MTV2 tour.
