Pillar working on new album for June release.
AMERICAN hard rock band Pillar have released their new album 'Where Do
We Go From Here' on Flicker Records produced by Travis Wyrick. In the
May/June HM magazine bassist Kalel spoke about the band's brief
association with MCA Records, "Last year was crazy, dude. I mean
'Fireproof' was still kicking butt. It exceeded all of our
expectations. You know, we had hoped to sell at least 100,000, but
never thought it would happen, and then it sold 200,000 and it's still
climbing. It blew us away. We kept touring our butt off this last
year. The label deal basically turned our lives around. We were
mainstream. We did a lot of great stuff. We played with Korn, we did a
show with Sevendust, a lot of big, huge festivals, and we got a lot of
radio play. We were just in Hit Parader Magazine last month and even
in Rolling Stone magazine. It was like a whirlwind. We (were) set up
for this album to go out of the solar system. MCA had spent nearly
half a million dollars on us and weren't working the record.. We had
our lawyer say, basically, 'These guys don't need you. If you're not
going to work them, let them off so they can go get on with their
careers.' They let us go."
