| | Pillar Confessions CD Pillar Discography of CDs
Christian rock band Pillar found significant mainstream success with an authoritative brand of grunge-leaning nu-metal that originally featured rapping but grew increasingly melodic and pop-savvy over time. CONFESSIONS is another step forward on that evolutionary path, almost entirely leaving behind the Limp Bizkit/Korn-isms of ABOVE and FIREPROOF in favor of a streamlined, muscular sound that injects the metal with a heaping helping of arena rock of both the `90s Matchbox Twenty and `70s Journey varieties. As such, the group's songwriting is sharp and radio-ready; "Secrets and Regrets" is full of hooky verses and powerful sing-along choruses vaguely reminiscent of alt-rock unit Splender, while "Call to Action" recalls the soaring drama of Evanescence but rides along on a driving, stoner metal-approved monster riff.

$15.65 With a Grammy nomination and the sales figures to back it up, Skillet have merged as one of the most successful Christian rock bands of the `00s. Their 2009 effort, AWAKE, is a return to the harder-edged rock sound of the band's 2006 album COMATOSE. Melding raw, dissonant riffs with a soaring, anthemic builds and harmonizing, Skillet's passionate message is relayed in progressive-tinged rock that, while faith-based, is not lacking one bit in its sheer visceral power.

$10.15 Andrew Lombardi (vocals/bass), Nick Lombardi (drums/vocals), and Dan Mugrauer (guitar) founded Subcolour in August of 2005. After playing in New Tradition (a pop punk band) for three years, they decided to break out from their current song writing style and start something new. New Tradition was a 5-piece, where Andrew played bass and sang, Nick played drums, and Dan played guitar, along with two other friends from the neighborhood. When forming the new group, they stuck with those instruments and established the alternative/screamo band, Subcolour.Initially, the main focuses of the band would be unclear, but after a few weeks of creating a new sound together, goals, dreams, and visions would play out. Unlike New Tradition, the three-piece wanted to take this band to a new level. As Christians, their main focus would be on glorifying God with the gifts He gave them, but at the same time, making music that would have a strong affect on listeners. The only way to do this would be to start recording and playing shows. In November of 2005, Subcolour got in contact with Big Blue Sound. Big Blue is owned by Brandon Hilkert, who also records, produces, and mixes in his in-home studio. After making arrangements for three full days of recording, Subcolour traveled down to Big Blue Sound in Wilmington, Delaware to record three original tunes. ‘Save Me’, ‘Whenever I Hear A Sound’, and ‘Visions to the Sky’ were the three songs recorded, later released on Myspace.com to show the world what these high school musicians were all about.Over time, the music progressed and their fan base grew in their hometown of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. In the winter of 2006, Endeavor Media, owned by Danny Yourd and Steve Hoover, were asked to film the DVD portion of Dead Poetic’s latest album Vices, set to be released in the Fall of 2006. During this time, Steve Hoover, a good friend of Subcolour’s, got the opportunity to play their recordings to Dead Poetic’s drummer, Jesse Sprinkle. The music caught the drummer/singer-song writer’s attention, and a few weeks later, Jesse got in contact with Subcolour. With an interest in recording them in a professional studio closer to his home, in upper state New York, plans were made to make this happen. In late spring of the same year, Subcolour traveled to Rochester, NY, to cut a demo version of the two new tracks they would be recording with Jesse in September. The two days spent there resulted in the recording of ‘Sincerely’ and ‘The Real Thing’, which would hopefully give a good idea of what they planned to do that Fall. Though neither of these songs were released to the public, a fan base and steady following began growing more and more, as the number of local shows increased month by month. Most of these ...
