History
Project Pitchfork was formed by Peter Spilles and Dirk Scheuber. After agreeing to work together, they picked the project's name by choosing a random word from the dictionary. The band gave their first performance in Hamburg in February 1990 and released their demo, "K.N.K.A", in August. In May 1991, their debut album "Dhyani" was released. The band's second album, "Lam-'Bras" was released in February 1992 and yielded the first vocal appearance of Patrica Nigiani. Six months later, the band's third album, "Entities" was released. The band switched labels to Off Beat for their 1994 release "Io". The album featured two singles, "Renascence" and "Carrion", and marked the first time the band entered the German Charts. The album was followed by a lengthy German tour.
In 1995, Project Pitchfork established their own label, Candyland Entertainment, through which they would release the majority of their material. 1995 also saw the release of two EPs, "CH'I" and "Corps d'Amour", and one album, "Alpha Omega". The year finished off with a tour supported by Rammstein. The next Project Pitchfork studio album "¡Chakra:Red!" was released in 1997. It was the first album since "Dhyani" to be written as a group effort, rather than by Peter Spilles alone, and the first to include Jürgen Jansen as a permanent band member.
Right after their first US tour in 1998, Project Pitchfork returned with concept album "Eon:Eon", their first while signed to label EastWest. The album yielded three singles, "Steelrose", "Carnival", and "I Live Your Dream". With the support of Eastwest, an imprint of the major label Warner Music), the band had greater resources available to produce videos for their music, which led to their being the first gothic industrial band to receive airplay on music TV in Germany. The video for "Steelrose" earned the band a nomination for an Echo Award for Best Video National. In 2001, the band released their eighth studio album "Daimonion" and supported the album with a European tour. In 2002 the band released the "NUN" trilogy which consisted of album "Inferno" and EPs "View From a Throne" and "Trialog". This earned the band another nomination for an Echo Award, this time for Best Alternative Act National.
Project Pitchfork returned with album Kaskade in 2005. In February 2009 the band released "Dream, Tiresias!" which received praise from electronic music magazine, ReGen. In 2010 the band's follow up album "Continuum Ride" was released along with a video to support the song "Beholder." "Continuum Ride" was inspired by the band's US tour in 2009, particularly their experience of Detroit, whose dilapidated skyline led to a more "dark and destructive" sound than that of their previous album.
By 2011 Project Pitchfork ceased operating their Candyland label, having since begun releasing their work on the Trisol label.
The band released "Quantum Mechanics" in 2011 as well as a video for the album's second track, "Lament". Later that year the band released a compilation album titled "First Anthology". In 2013 the band released their fourteenth studio album, "Black", and a music video to accompany the song "Rain". In June 2014, the band announced via their official website a new album titled "Blood". To promote the record the band held a pre-release show in Hamburg. The album was released in September and featured a music video for "Blood-Diamond (See Him Running)" edited by Peter Spilles himself.
In 2016, Project Pitchfork released their "Second Anthology", a double CD that included one new track, several unreleased rarities, and many re-recorded and remastered tracks. Also in 2016, the band released the album "Look Up, I’m Down There" to commemorate their 25th anniversary. The album was released in two versions: a standard CD release and a special, limited edition double CD wth an 80 page art book containing complete lyrics and a short story by the fantasy author Björn Springorum.
In 2018, the band released the album "Akkretion", the first of what was planned to be a trilogy of albums for release that year. Of the remaining albums of the trilogy, only the second, "Fragment," was released.
Starting in 2019, Trisol began releasing reissues of all the band's material over the previous decade from "Dream, Tiresias!" through "Look Up, I'm Down There".

Project Pitchfork Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you and me
touched by god
love is our armory
you hold my hand
lights from above
flowers around us
birds are singing
in the sky
give me your hand
we have to go
into the wasteland
we are the last defenders
our wings spread wide
you press my hand
our fate is to fight
they can`t tear us apart
the sky is fading to grey
tears in our eyes
tears in our eyes
we are walking over skeletons
we are praying for another day
we are passing recent battlefields
our love can't force this storm away
The song "Angels" by Project Pitchfork is rich with images of hope against a backdrop of darkness and despair. The first stanza of the song describes a couple standing on a hill, seemingly alone but also connected to something larger than themselves. The reference to being "touched by God" suggests a sense of divine destiny or purpose, while the idea of love as an "armory" implies that the couple are armed with a powerful force that will help them to overcome adversity.
The second stanza is even more symbolic, with the couple surrounded by flowers that "bow for our love." This image suggests that their love is so strong that it has the power to affect even the natural world around them. Meanwhile, the birds singing in the sky suggest a kind of joyful, carefree spirit that contrasts with the seriousness of the situation in which the couple find themselves.
The final stanza is the most somber, with the couple walking among skeletons and recent battlefields. Despite this, they continue to walk forward and pray for another day. The repetition of the phrase "tears in our eyes" underscores the sadness and pain of their situation even as they maintain a sense of determination and hope.
Overall, "Angels" is a complex and multi-layered song that embraces both moments of beauty and moments of darkness. It suggests that love and determination can help us to face even the greatest challenges, and that even in the darkest of times there is reason to hope for a better day.
