1. Pillar is composed of Rob Beckley (vocals), Lester Estelle Jr.(drums), Noah Henson (guitar), and Michael "Kalel" Wittig (bass). These Christian rockers with an alt-metal edge have been honing their infectious sound since 1998 while attending Ft. Hays State University in northwestern Kansas. A deal with Flicker was inked in 2000 after the band's self-released debut, Metamorphosis, impressed the label. Within months, Pillar followed things up with Above. Their first single, "Open Your Eyes," was popular on the college charts, earning Above nearly 60,000 in sales. Pillar also earned the Best Rock Band award at the annual Dove Awards in 2001.
A year later, Pillar relocated to Tulsa, OK, and released Fireproof. MCA picked up the band and reissued the energetic sophomore effort in 2003. However, MCA shut down shortly thereafter and Pillar returned to Flicker, and released their next album, Where Do We Go From Here, in 2004.
In 2005, Joey "Cinco" Avalos, formerly of Christian rock trio Justifide, was added as a second guitar player. He was never an official member of the band, and only played live shows. He no longer does, as he is playing in the newly started band "Stars Go Dim".
In Pillar's 2006 release, The Reckoning, the band stays true to their style while experimenting with new sounds. Pillar was nominated for the "Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album" Grammy with this album.
On Pillar's fifth album, For The Love Of The Game, frontman Rob Beckley says this:
“We get to say that we play rock ‘n roll for a living. We get to see lives changed. We have a renewed love and focus. With that in mind, making For the Love of the Game was very fun, and very fluent; it just came out. We went into the studio knowing what the album was going to be called and we were able to carry the vision through. We wanted to have a positive, bright, fun sounding record. That was our intent from the beginning. We trust that as people hear this record, God will use it to change lives. That’’s the ultimate fuel for our fire. When someone tells us, ‘‘your music changed my marriage, or brought me closer to God,’ that’s when we know God is using our music, and that’’s what it’s all about to us.” ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Written by MacKenzie Wilson and Abel Ringvold
Pillar's sixth album, "Confessions," was released on September 22, 2009, claiming to show an evolved style but at the same time sticking close to the formula developed in For The Love Of The Game.
2. Pillar was a band that consisted of Dave Walker, who would later on do vocals for Harvest and Krakatoa, and Justin Kane, who would go on to drum for Disembodied and Martyr AD. Not much is known of Pillar other then a demo released in 1993, which was produced by Cad Dziewior (Threadbare, 108, Judas Factor, etc.)
3. Pillar was an emo band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Released their full length "Everyone is as Terrified as You Are" in 2001.

A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me
I know where I stand and what will happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise
It's my time to rise
I know where I stand and what will happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire
You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire
I know where I stand and what will happen if you try it
I am fireproof
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof

I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am fireproof
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am fireproof
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am fireproof
The main theme in Pillar's song Fireproof is the idea of unwavering faith in oneself and standing up against those who try to undermine it. The lyrics assert that the singer will never compromise their principles or change their mind, no matter the pressure they face. They compare themselves to being "fireproof", impervious to the flames of opposition that others may try to use against them.
Throughout the song, the singer's confidence grows stronger as they declare their independence and refusal to succumb to anyone else's will. They also express a deep-seated connection to their personal beliefs, describing them as something that they "just can't deny". This suggests that the singer's conviction is not purely based on a sense of obligation, but rather rooted in something innate and integral to their very being.
Overall, the lyrics of Fireproof promote individualism and self-reliance, while also emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of adversity. The song encourages listeners to embrace their inner strength and never compromise on what they believe in.
