Spiritual Genocide is the twelfth studio album by German thrash metal band Destruction.

In 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.

Vocalist Marcel Schirmer commented: "For this anniversary album we did a really great job, our new drummer "Vaaver" opens up new possibilities of course.

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!
