In Extremis is the second full-length album by the Los Angeles, California based progressive rock band Days Between Stations. In Extremis is a concept album about a man at the point of death. The title "In Extremis" refers to the Latin term "In extremity" – A term used in reference to the last illness prior to death.[1]

The album contains one of the last studio performances by former Yes guitarist Peter Banks.[2]

The album was listed in SomethingElseReviews.com's[3] list of "top 10" Progressive Rock albums of 2013.

In early 2014, the band released "In Extremis" in the vinyl format as a 2LP gatefold with 2 versions: a limited edition colored vinyl (50 units) and a larger edition in black vinyl (450 units). [4]

In June 2014, the band released their first music video for the track "The Man Who Died Two Times" from the album, featuring Colin Moulding of XTC on lead vocals.[5]
