Confessions

Confessions is the sixth album, from the Christian rock band Pillar.[1] The album was released on September 22, 2009, by Essential Records. The album debuted at No. 71 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and reached No. 4 on the Christian (overall) albums chart.
Rob Beckley commented about the album, "I had never had goose bumps listening to our own music before, but this album is just on a whole different level. We're indebted to everyone who played a role in pushing us out of our comfort zones. And I couldn't be more proud of our band."
Beckley further describes the concept as, "1 John 1:9 says, 'If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' Every song on this album could be broken down to 'If you just confess.'" Under this umbrella, recurring themes on Confessions include unity, commitment and perseverance.
When Blaine Barcus, VP of A&R, Provident Label Group talked about the album he spoke highly of it saying, "the album features songs which range from muscular, guitar-driven gut rock to beautiful, orchestral ballads. "Confessions is the kind of album that will make CHR radio listeners fans of rock music. The goal was that every single song on this album would be a great fit for radio, and I think the overall project reflects that goal. Rob and the guys poured themselves into the music and this project really delivers."
Drummer Joe Rickard, from the band Red, recorded all the drums for the album since Taylor Carrol hadn't joined the band yet. Former Adelitas Way and current Breaking Benjamin guitarist, Keith Wallen, contributed additional guitars and songwriting to "Call to Action" and "Lose it All". "Call to Action" was a song by Wallen's original band, Copper.
