PITCHFORK, a word pulled by chance out of an English dictionary eventually became the name of their project, but the roots of PROJECT PITCHFORK in the persons of Peter Spilles and Dirk Scheuber are as well due to a chance meeting of the two at a Girls Under Glass concert in 1989.

PROJECT PITCHFORK signed with the Hypnobeat label in 1991 and released their first album, "Dhyani", which bridged the gap between EBM and wave, bringing atmosphere to the usually hard-edge electronic music, while expanding the electronic content. Recorded in only 3 days, the music was raw but compelling, including the track "Vietnam", which would later (1996) appear in a live version on video. In September of the same year the maxi-single "Psychic Torture" appeared, retooled with 3 new songs, including "Precious New World" and a remix of "K.N.K.A.", which then found its way into the club scene.

Great changes took over in 1995, culminating in the grounding of PROJECT PITCHFORK's own Candyland Entertainment Label, on which other bands appeared as well. Then, in September '95 they released their masterstroke album, "Alpha Omega", returning to the true PROJECT PITCHFORK sound and reaching an impressive Top 30 in the German charts. They followed this up with a maxi CD of remixes titled "CH'I". A German tour in October '95 brought about their second live video, "Alpha Omega Live" with a new rendition of "Vietnam".

A major breakthrough was in the wings and in 1998 PROJECT PITCHFORK signed a contract with major label eastwest records and released the single, "Steelrose" in June, as well as the single "Carnival".. In October '98 they brought out a new album, "Eon: Eon", which had a still more modern, richer and experimental sound very difficult to classify. This album moved the band up into the Top 15 of the charts. In January '99 they delivered what many believe to be a perfect pop song, "I Live Your Dream."

In 2001 the band reached new heights with the album "Daimonion", which went to #8 in the national Media Control sales charts. The band's best-ever booked tour followed. At the end of the year, PROJECT PITCHFORK was the most successful German band in the German Alternative Charts, scoring the hightest positions for a German band in both the single and album categories: #3 for the single "Existence" and #5 for "Daimonion".

The band is renowned for extensive live touring, drawing audiences of 1000 - 2000 in Germany. They have undertaken many international tours, including a tour of 25 US cities in 1998 with Front 242. In 1995 Rammstein was the support act for PROJECT PITCHFORK!
