MCA Records (Universal Music Group) sought out and bought Pillar’s record contract from Flicker Records. A repackaged (new art and photos) and remixed re-release of Fireproof (with a bonus DVD included) will be going out to the mainstream market worldwide later on this year. "It will probably be a while before we are able to release any new Pillar material," stated the band in a recent press release. "Our next four new albums will be released under MCA."
"Fireproof" will be the first single going to mainstream radio, which will be released this month. There are also plans for a "Fireproof" video that will be pushed on MTV.
"Since MCA Records doesn’t have a Christian department they worked out a deal with Flicker Records allowing them to license us to the Christian market."
The band requests our prayers: "Underground! Now is the time to step it up. We are going to be putting out a message that is on the other end of the spectrum from a lot of other bands. Please keep us in constant prayer. Pray for our families, wise business decisions, that we constantly have people around us to hold us accountable, protection, strength to overcome temptation, and that we can bring the message of Christ to many in a tactful way. We will keep you updated on everything going on. Thank you for helping us take this to a whole other level. Stay UP!!"
