Genesis XIX
2020 studio album by Sodom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genesis XIX is the sixteenth studio album by the German thrash metal band Sodom, released on 27 November 2020.[2] It is the first studio album to feature returning guitarist Frank Blackfire since 1989's Agent Orange, as well as new members, guitarist Yorck Segatz and drummer Toni Merkel. As such, this album marks the first time in Sodom's history that they had recorded an album as a quartet rather than a trio.
