Night Spider

Night Spider is the second CD by the deathcore outfit, Ryuga. This album was the last to be released through the Metal Blade label, on June 19, 2007. Night Spider is the very first album for Ryuga to be credited as a quintuplet, in which there are four recruits: Steven Qor (rhythm guitar 2nd), Josh Crenkan (bass guitar), Jonesy Garcia (rhythm guitar 1st, including electronics), and Erik Engstrom of HORSE the Band (actual member stand-in for Jonesy) Night Spider has a very black metal-influenced sound compared to Into the Eyes of Bloodclotting, although there are still traces of deathcore and electronica in the album. This is one of Ryuga's studio albums to bear a Parental Advisory sticker and also the first to contain profanity of any kind, which followed up in subsequent releases.

Trivia

 * Tracks 4,5,6, and 7 are songs that are meant to blend in together.
 * Originally, there was to be a single and supposed video for the track, "Rotting to the Floor" to be confirmed. It was never done because fans deemed this song as "the one that sounds more commercial"
 * The song, "Lal Mirch: Lord of the Mist" is possibly a pun from a character of the anime and manga series Katekyo Hitman Reborn! with the same name. Coincidently during one of the interviews, rhythm guitar player Jonesy Garcia outright admits that he watched the series's anime adaptation every Thursday.
 * The outroduction, "Live, Live, Live!!!" is used as singer Jude Lizowski screaming the same word over and over, with the rest of the band playing heavy notes in a death metal manner. Basically speaking, this is at least the first song that Ryuga has claimed to be "truly comical"
 * "Rotting to the Floor" is based on a true story: it began with drummer Nikki Wong as a child watching her father die from fire back in China.
 * The album artwork was done by Dennis Sibejin, who is also close friends with the bandmates.
 * Similar to the upcoming sixth album Amongst the Serpent, Brendon Small (Jude) uses death growls reminiscent of Sweden death metal vocalists.
