Genesis was the second studio album by hard rock band Talisman released on 7 July 1993 on Dino Records.

[1] Drummer Jake Samuels had left them to join Zinny J. Zan's band and then Marcel Jacob made all programmed drums used on the recording with an Alesis SR-16.

The band had a little help from Mats Lindfors (who later did the mixing) with engineering, and then Marcel Jacob recorded himself and Fredrik Åkesson.

Soto joined recording along with his then-girlfriend Julie Greaux (Billy Idol, Axel Rudi Pell) who ended up playing the grand piano on "All I Want".

Both Genesis and Talisman garnered some international interest, and were released in Japan on Toshiba-EMI's Zero Corporation label
