Pinhead

PINHEAD is the solo project of Ilja John Lappin, blending progressive metal with melancholic, personal lyrics. Inspired by the Hellraiser character, Lappin explores his own individuation—a struggle between shadows and inner peace. His debut album Egomessiah combines aggressive riffs, dark growls, haunting melodies, and synth elements into an unpredictable genre mix. PINHEAD represents breaking and rebuilding, leaving behind old beliefs, and the search for one’s true self.
