Extinct is the tenth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal band Moonspell, released on 5 March 2015 in several versions with a different cover for each (jewel case, limited deluxe box, mediabook, gatefold LP).

The album was recorded at Fascination Street Studios, and was produced and mixed by Jens Bogren. The cover artwork was designed by Seth Siro Anton.[2] It includes a guest bozuoukitara performance by Yossi Sassi on the track "Medusalem". Also, on that same track, before the guitar solo starts, another guest artist, Mahafsoun, narrates the chorus in the Persian language.[3]
