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.

Genesis XIX was produced by the band themselves, and like the previous album Decision Day (2016), its artwork was designed by Joe Petagno. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
