Christian rock group Pillar is releasing its first album in six years. One Love Revolution was made possible through the support of the band’s loyal fan base, and is scheduled to release on CD as a LifeWay Christian Stores exclusive Aug. 18 with a digital release to follow Aug. 21.

“Making this record was not only humbling just to have another opportunity, but it was an honor, an honor to regroup and put together our best effort to date,” said frontman Rob Beckley. “We had a purpose beyond a career. It was about inspiring people to know Christ better and to engage in a fight that outlasts their own legacy!"

For this independent project, Pillar has been collaborating with producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D., Toby Mac, Dolly Parton) for more than a year to develop a strong track listing and have included supporters in the process. The physical CD will feature an exclusive track ("Fall the Foe"), and the digital release also will have its own exclusive track ("A Season").

"When you spend 10 years-plus on the road with guys that become your family and then suddenly you don't have them anymore, it's like losing an arm or a leg,” said Noah Henson, lead guitarist. “The reuniting of Pillar with Rob, Kalel, Lester and myself has been like getting that arm or leg back. This record is a direct reflection of that. It's one of our greatest accomplishments to date. I'm beyond excited to get these songs into the hands of our awesome fans!”

In the band’s career, Pillar has released eight studio albums with hit songs including “Fireproof,” “Bring Me Down” and “For the Love of the Game.” The latter was used by ESPN for the 2007 World Series promotions. The band was recognized with three Dove Awards and other nominations, including a GRAMMY nod for the album The Reckoning.
