Product Description
On its 2006 release, THE RECKONING, the Christian heavy-rock act Pillar offers up another hard-charging set that goes for general spiritual themes rather than blatantly praise-oriented lyrics. Although the Oklahoma-based group adds a little "screamo" edge to the mix, the album largely consists of straightforward, guitar-laden alt-metal, as exemplified by the pummeling opener, "Everything."
"Oklahoma’s Pillar sets a new standard and rattles the rafters like never before...Better songs, better riffs, bigger production, more attention to detail, better vocals and better overall dynamics make The Reckoning one of the best mainstream rock releases of 2006.
At times more ambient and haunting, and at others more musically intense than previous efforts, an overall level of consistency runs throughout. There is not a single throw-away track; no filler at all. The Reckoning is one of those rare modern rock albums that manages musical diversity, real emotional dynamics and overall consistency but still just plain rocks hard." - John Thompson, HM Magazine
