Testimony 2

2011 studio album by Neal Morse

Testimony 2 is a progressive rock concept album by Neal Morse, his eighth studio album. It was released on 23 May 2011 as a continuation of his first Christian prog album (Testimony) and contains three sections detailing the composer's life and conversion to Christianity. Morse returns with his normal solo-album bandmates Mike Portnoy and Randy George, but he also features many guests, including a vocal reunion of Spock's Beard in the song "Time Changer", which focuses on Morse's past with his original band.
