Band Information
In:Extremis was a death metal band that formed in Adelaide out of a previous act called Execration, a three piece featuring Durrant, Messenger and guitarist Adam Sobels. A cruelly heavy band with true inspiration, the early EP is still regarded as a classic and opened the door to national exposure with showings at Metal for the Brain and interstate gigs. After this the band moved to Melbourne and began to incorporate more industrial and techno sounds.
1997's "Hybrid Scarifier" was also excellent but by now the band was struggling and almost immediately after its release split up. Si Durrant joined Truth Corroded briefly, then Superheist as bassist and remained with them for two years.
In late 1999 Durrant intimated he was considering re-forming In:Extremis after he left Superheist, but the resultant projected was christened Screwface:13, although several tracks were recorded under the In:extremis name. Screwface:13 played at Metal for the Brain in 2000 but after this did nothing further.
