Spiritual Genocide is the thirteenth studio album by German thrash metal band Destruction.[6] The album was released as a celebration of the bands 30th anniversary.

Album Information

On 24 August 2012 it was announced via Nuclear Blast website that Destruction had entered the studio to record their 13th album to celebrate their 30-year anniversary as a band.

Marcel Schirmer commented:

"For this anniversary album we did a really great job, our new drummer "Vaaver" opens up new possibilities of course. On this album there are no limits. So fast, brutal and yet groovy we haven't ever sounded, probably! Also the guest musicians are very special this time: with Gerre (Tankard) and Tom Angelripper (Sodom) our old friends and companions are with us, the original Mad Butcher/Release from Agony - line up is doing one song and with Ol Drake (Evile) we got the hottest young thrash guitarist for a few solos on the album!"[7]
