Pillar

<<< Listen Now >>>

         

This Alternative-Metal band was formed in Hays, Kansas USA, in 1998 by vocalist Rob Beckley, guitarist Noah Henson, bassist Kalel and drummer Lester Estelle; despite the early stage of their career, these Christian rockers were so diligent in playing shows and setting up tours that they were doing the band full-time even without a record label.

In the spring of 2000, the members of Pillar recorded a self-financed EP which captured the attention of Flicker Records who signed them to release their debut album "Above", which was issued in June 2001.
The foursome relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma and began recording their next record, "Fireproof"; this album originally saw the light of day in May 2002, it was later picked up by MCA Records for wider distribution and finally crawled up to #6 on the Billboard Magazine's Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart; the band's sophomore release also crossed over to The Billboard 200 reaching #139 and the title-track became their first Mainstream Rock Top 40 single. In addition to headlining the 35-city "Underground Uprising" Tour in 2003, Pillar also shared stages with contemporary acts such as Korn, Evanescence, Sevendust, Chevelle, Mudvayne, Life Of Agony and Powerman 5000.
The Oklahoma-based quartet, after the release of 2003's acoustic "Broken Down: The EP", returned in mid-2004 with their third full-length disc, "Where Do We Go From Here"; it peaked at #3 on the Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart and climbed to #74 on The Billboard 200 generating the Active Rock top 30 hit, "Bring Me Down".
"The Reckoning" followed in October 2006 with its single, "Everything ", becoming a minor hit; the album peaked at #70 on The Billboard Top 200 chart and confirmed the band's position at the forefront of modern Christian music scene.

Pillar are out with their new single "For The Love Of The Game", which is also the title-track of the band's February 26, 2008, release.
