About

Project Pitchfork are a German darkwave and electro-industrial band founded in Hamburg in 1989 by vocalist Peter Spilles and Dirk Scheuber. Since their 1991 debut album Dhyani, every studio release from 1994 onward has charted in Germany, and the band is widely regarded as one of the defining acts of the European dark-electro scene. They were also the first gothic-industrial act to receive music-TV airplay in Germany, a milestone reached during their major-label period with Warner/EastWest in the late 1990s.
