Pro-jekt

Pro-jekt are an Electrogoth / Darkwave band. They were formed in January 2000, in Derbyshire, England. They engineered and financed their own demo album, and later signed to Nightbreed Recordings Ltd, in Aug 2001. Pro-jekt released their debut album on Nightbreed Recordings in April 2002. On the live circuit the band played over 90 performances, including touring with Mortiis and The Last Rites. In 2003 Pro-jekt completed a full UK Tour and held live dates in Italy, Belguim and France.

After completing the massive 20 date “Evilution Tour" at Fibbers in York at the end of 2003 the band regrouped back in Derbyshire to start recording the next studio album. However, Shaun Travis was taken ill, and in February 2004, it was mutually decided that Shaun should leave the band.

In July of that year, Pro-jekt signed a new singer, Mick Witham, to lead the band. He quickly got involved in rehearsals, and Pro-jekt then featured in the UK Grudge tour, supporting Mortiis. They have toured as part of 'The Unholy Trinity' appeared at the Carnival of Souls along with an appearance in front of a sell out crowd at the Lumous Festival in Finland. A song by Pro-jekt also featured on Project Gotham Racing 3.

They released a new album, called Encryption, in 2006.

According to Metalhammer Magazine, the band was originally going to be called 'Projekt' but were threatened legal action from Projekt Records, and so instead placed the dash in their name.
