Crushingly heavy and brutal death metal band, originally from Adelaide and the closest thing to Fear Factory this country has yet produced. That said, 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. Singer Si Durrant joined 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 has since been christened Screwface although several tracks were recorded under the In:extremis name.
