Testimony 2

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.

The album comes with a second disc of unrelated original songs, one of which is the epic "Seeds Of Gold", featuring a guitar solo by Steve Morse. The Special Edition includes a third disc, a Making Of DVD which runs over 60 minutes and chronicles the writing and recording of this album.

Also released with the album is Morse's first book titled Testimony - The inspirational and spiritual journey of a prog rock musician.
