Pinhead, the German alternative/goth metal band of Ilja John Lappin, the bassist of The Hirsch Effekt and Mono Inc. released a new single, "Counterfate (Version 2)", and expanded the debut album release tour.
At their debut shows in January, they performed an alternate version of the acoustic song "Counterfate". Since their Egomessiah album release, this song has emerged as one of the album's favourites. Now they've recorded this version in the studio and given it a mystical, dark atmosphere.
