Pinhead Egomessiah

PINHEAD is more than just a band. It is a unique and idiosyncratic art project, the sole member of which is multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and vocalist Ilja John Lappin. PINHEAD serves as a channel for his emotional and mental landscape. Dark longings manifest in atmospheric progressive metal and melancholic, deeply personal lyrics.PINHEAD – even the name invites interpretations and imagination. The well-known film character from "Hellraiser" is seen by some as the incarnation of evil, while others perceive her as a harbinger of salvation. For Lappin, she became an identifying figure in realizing his musical ideas, especially in the relentless confrontation with the beautiful yet terrifying process of human individuation – particularly his own. A symbol. For the fragmentation of the self that must withstand the horrors of divinity. For the race against one's own shadow in pursuit of longed-for inner peace. 1 Lapse2 Violetor3 Absurdist4 In Recent Times5 I I I6 Used Future7 Counterfate8 Serene Day9 Lonefall10 Transition11 Stigmatizer12 Lesser Lights
