In Extremo (abbreviated InEx, or just IE) began as two projects: a nameless, purely medieval band, and a rock band. They became known at that time through frequent appearances at medieval market meetings, at which they performed their acoustic pieces and sold CDs of their renditions of traditional songs. On April 11, 1995, during the recording for that year's season, Michael Rhein (alias Das letzte Einhorn, engl. "The Last Unicorn") found the project name "In Extremo, "Latin for "At The Edge".
Most of the band members perform under stage names. The initial members of the medieval band were Das letzte Einhorn (engl. "The Last Unicorn," vocals), Flex der Biegsame (engl. "Flex the Flexible," bagpipes), Dr. Pymonte (bagpipes), Conny Fuchs (who left the band before the official release date, due to her pregnancy, and was replaced by Dr. Pymonte) and Sen Pusterbalg (replaced shortly after the official release by Yellow Pfeiffer, engl. "Yellow Piper," bagpipes). The rock band originally consisted of Thomas der Münzer (engl. "Thomas the Coiner," guitar), Der Morgenstern (engl. "The Morning Star," drums), and Die Lutter (engl. "The Lutter," bass guitar). Der Münzer subsequently left the band and, as of 2000, the band's guitarist is Van Lange (engl. "The Long One"). As noted below, almost all of the band members play multiple instruments.
The increasing number of visitors, success of their CDs, and the popular interest, as well as cross-pollination from groups such as Corvus Corax and Bathory, encouraged In Extremo in 1995 to attempt to start a band combining bagpipes and other traditional instruments with rock guitars. The result was the current incarnation of In Extremo, a rock group that integrates modern instruments like the drum set, electric bass and guitar with the acoustic elements previously used for the medieval songs, and which plays both types of music as well as a hybrid of the two.[1]
In August 1996, they began work on the first In Extremo album, which already contained two tracks of the new rock project. Because the album had no official name, it became known as Gold because of the golden cover. In February 1997, like the single Der Galgen (engl. "The Gallows"), it quickly sold out in Medieval markets.
In Extremo played separately as a medieval and a rock band, until on March 29, 1997, when they played their first live rock concert. Since that time, they have given this date as their date of establishment. The two projects were officially merged on January 11, 1998. April 1998 saw the first "high occupancy" In Extremo concert in the Rabenstein castle in Brandenburg.
Over the years, their music became more heavy metal based, while at the same time becoming increasingly commercially successful. The classical instruments, however – bagpipes, shawms, and lutes – still play a large role. The band is likewise noted for their conspicuous stage costumes and known for using pyrotechnics in their concerts, including Der Morgenstern playing cymbals which have been set on fire.
On 26 February 2010 In Extremo announced that Der Morgenstern left the band because of musical differences via their homepage. On June 11, Florian "Specki T.D." Speckardt was announced as his replacement on drums. Since then, they have proceeded to release 3 albums: Sterneneisen, Kunstraub, and Quid Pro Quo, all of which have reached the top 10 in the German charts, with Sterneneisen and Quid Pro Quo both having number 1 positions for a time. Their 13th album, Kompass zur Sonne was released in May 2020.[2], but it was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On July 30th, 2020, they played an online livestream concert for Wacken World Wide.

The song "Le'or Chiyuchech" by In Extremo features lyrics that are written in Hebrew and are largely inspired by the Old Testament, with references to the wilderness and sun. The first stanza speaks about the sun rising and illuminating the singer's world, bringing light to the darkness of the desert that surrounds him. The second stanza uses the image of a bird of prey to describe the singer's longing for someone, with "boi na" translating to "come to me" in Hebrew. The chorus repeats the same lines, highlighting the importance of this person coming to the singer, and the final stanza reveals that this person is the singer's beloved, and the singer asks them to come to him.
The lyrics of "Le'or Chiyuchech" evoke a sense of spirituality and longing, using the imagery of the wilderness, the sun, and birds to illustrate the singer's emotions. The Hebrew language adds a layer of mystery and depth to the meaning behind the lyrics, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the central message of the song: the singer's intense desire for their beloved to come to them. Through these lyrics, In Extremo creates a haunting, captivating atmosphere that draws the listener in and leaves them feeling moved by the intensity of the singer's emotions.

Le'or Chijuchech לאור חיוכך
Kaha haschemesch, wesiwo ככה השמש וזיוו
Jakdu'a ne'orei יקדוע נאורי

Ach re'itich im erew אך ראיתיך עם ערב

Bo'i na, bo'i na, bo'i elaj בואי נא בואי נא בואי עלי
Im dem Licht den deine Lächeln, der Sonne verdunkelt und seines Lichts auch, und tanzt meine Brändchen in der Komfort von deine Wüste
Aber, ach, hatte ich dich gesehen im Abend und meine Füllungen bekommt Beute für dich, komm hier, komm hier, komm hier zu mir
