With an anniversary album, celebrating thirty years as a band, the German thrash metallers in Destruction are firing another round with their twelfth full length studio album. Spiritual Genocide is drummer Vaaver's (Wawrzyniek Dramowicz) second effort with the band and with their history of several line-up changes, perhaps they now are about to form a solid trio for future escapades?

With this thrash metal release, we're not even close to something slow and pretty, as they charge like raging bulls through most of these forty-one minutes. No compromises, just pure speedy metal with fast and heavy riffs combined with thunderous and violent drumming. Sometimes a bit brutal, but mostly just straight-out with a furious tempo. There's no point to go through every song one by one, since they nearly follow the same pattern, meaning fast, raw, natural and open-faced.

A solid album with no fillers and the veterans in Destruction once again show that they can produce a good record after many years active.
