Pillar’s The Reckoning Debuts At No. 70 on Billboard’s Top 200

The “Days of The Reckoning” Tour Kicks Off Oct. 26

Nashville, Tenn. —Rock band Pillar debuts on sales charts this week with its fourth studio album The Reckoning (10/3) making an impressive impact on sales charts overall, this week, debuting at No. 70 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, with more than 14 thousand in sales its first week at retail.

On the Nielsen SoundScan charts, the band claimed an impressive No. 6 on the Hard Music Chart Overall; No. 3 Record Label Independent Current Album chart; No. 19 on the Alternative chart Overall and No. 47 on the Internet Album chart.

Impressive chart positions reflect acclaim given the band by media outlets including: Hit Parader Magazine, All Access Music Magazine, AOL Music, Guitar World Magazine, CNN Radio Networks blogcritics.org, musictap.net, rockmymonkey.com and Metal Express Radio Networks while consumer support is evident in sales and well as rapid tour sell outs.

Andy Secher of Hit Parader Magazine, offers, “Throughout The Reckoning it is crystal clear that Pillar’s down-to earth approach (with a touch of celestial guidance thrown in for good measure), is just what the rock and roll doctor ordered. Such tracks as riff-powered ‘Everything’ and the skittery ‘Sometimes’ show a band that's not afraid to take chances while brandishing their ‘pure-bred’ rock and roll convictions.”

Metal Express Radio Networks notes, “Pillar shows a truly successful heavy rock album can be made while still keeping it clean. With an insightful and unsullied lyrical approach, The Reckoning confirms the band's songwriting has reached full artistic stride ... and the musical power burned into this album proves Pillar has indeed not forgotten how to ROCK!”

Additional reviews include blogcritics.org who notes, “[Pillar’s] The Reckoning is strong start to finish,” and rockmymonkey.com with, “Pillar has the right formula for staying power.”

With multiple adds at radio, the band is readying for its eighth national headlining tour, the “Days of The Reckoning” tour featuring Day of Fire, The Showdown and Decyfer Down.
