Coagulation

Coagulation is the third studio album by the Canadian deathcore band Ryuga. This is their first album to include a more progressive and experimental sound (as opposed to the goregrind style that was on earlier releases). This is the debut of lead guitarist Jen Masterson, and the final album to feature Josh Crenkan on bass before Ryan Treviont replaced him. The album's cover art is done in two versions: the US version by Martin Wittfooth, and the EU version by Par Olofsson. This album does not use a lead guitarist, so guitar programming was to be done by lead singer Jude Lizowski. Coagulation was released July 8, 2008 on Sumerian Records. Two music videos were released, "The Darkest of Days" and "Horseman", both directed by Jonas Akerlund
