Three other musicians deserve to be mentioned: the guest guitaristsMark McGee,Eric PetersonandBrad Gillis. "Isn't it fantastic thatMarkreturned and contributed those amazing solos on two songs?"Thorpeasked.McGeewas a band member between 1986 and 1995 and has launched veritable guitar solos on"Blood Stained Sunday"and"Pearl Of Wisdom". "Markand I trading solos just like the old days," enthusedThorpe, who also can't hold back his delight atEric Peterson's impassioned solo passages on"Murderball". "Erichas been a friend for many years and is the driving force inTESTAMENT,"Thorpesaid.
