Heredity: The Best of Ryuga

Heredity: The Best of... is a compilation album by Canadian death metal band Ryuga. Confirmed by frontman Jude Lizowski, the entire album will be released as a three-disc CD: one containing songs from Into the Eyes of Bloodclotting, Night Spider, and Coagulation, a second disc featuring songs from both The GateKeeper and Kvarn (also including three new songs), and a DVD disc that includes a couple of the fourth season episodes from A Farce of Ryuga and eight music videos. This CD/DVD was released through Century Media Records on July 5, 2011, having overwhelmingly positive reception: critics such as Alternative Press praised this compilation as for having every song from the first five studio albums, and even Fangoria liked how the three new tracks, while original, each blended in genre-wise, from the goregrind-influenced first album, to the deathcore-themed second, fourth, and the Solifugid EP, and the more progressive/death metal-bearing thrid and five albums.
