=== The development years and success (1995–2002) ===
In 1995, Project Pitchfork established their own label, Candyland Entertainment,<ref name="culture_shock_2">{{cite journal |title=Project Pitchfork: Precious New World |journal=Culture Shock |date=1996 |issue=2 |pages=21–23 |publisher=Genocide Project |location=Hackensack, NJ |language=English |issn=1093-1651 }}</ref> through which they would release the majority of their material as well as some side projects and bands such as Philtron and Deep Red. 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]].<ref name="peek-a-boo-2016">{{cite web |last1=Coldheart |first1=Stef |title=Project Pitchfork: Great bands can be really great bastards |url=http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/interviews/project-pitchfork-2016/ |website=Peek-a-boo Music Magazine |accessdate=21 November 2020 |date=5 June 2016}}</ref> 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.<ref name="peek-a-boo-2015">{{cite web |last1=Kruth |first1=Xavier |title=Interview: Project Pitchfork |url=http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/interviews/project-pitchfork-535/ |website=Peek-a-boo Music Magazine |accessdate=21 November 2020 |date=18 September 2015}}</ref>

Immediately after their first US tour in 1998, Project Pitchfork returned with concept album ''[[Eon:Eon]]'', their first while signed to label [[EastWest]], an imprint of the major label [[Warner Music Group|Warner Music]]. The album yielded three singles, "Steelrose", "Carnival", and "I Live Your Dream". With the support of EastWest, 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.<ref name="the-dominion-2011">{{cite web |last1=Palfrey |first1=Sean |title=Project Pitchfork – Twenty years in the making |url=http://www.terrorizer.com/dominion/dominionfeatures/project-pitchfork-twenty-years-in-the-making/ |website=Terrorizer |publisher=The Dominion Magazine |access-date=26 November 2020 |date=16 August 2011}}</ref> The video for "Steelrose" earned the band a nomination for an [[Echo Award]] for Best Video National.

Between 1998 and 2001 the band built out their own studio which gave them more time to develop their next release.<ref name="cmj-07-01">{{cite journal |last1=Filicky |first1=Brad |title=Interview with Jürgen Jansen of Project Pitchfork |journal=[[CMJ|CMJ New Music Report]] |date=2 July 2001 |volume=68 |issue=720 |page=32 |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/CMJ/2001/CMJ-720-2001-07-02.pdf |access-date=24 January 2022 |publisher=College Media, Inc. |location=New York, NY |issn=0890-0795}}</ref> In 2001, the band released their eighth studio album ''[[Daimonion (Project Pitchfork 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.
