2.5 average | Jared Floryan | April 10th 16 | Unrestrained. Rich. Passionate. These are three words that I normally deem synonymous with "rampant", which just so happens to be the moniker of this Japanese metalcore outfit who hail from Osaka. Ironically enough, however, the band's full-length debut recording not only sounds controlled, it's also quite bland. Titled Choice of Life, the album's 11 songs have been concocted by a wannabe High and Mighty Color, so to speak. The offering is far from atrocious, although the boring craftsmanship and formulaic aura that this ensemble give off on the album prevents it from being anything but pedestrian. Picture a feminine zombie trudging through a stormy kingdom that was simply never meant to be, and you've got Choice of Life. The title track is easily the best number on here, even though that's not really saying much.
