What's the point of this? - 21%

I have to stare at this demo and wonder what exaclty provoked me to purchase it. One of the members happens to also perform in Kadotus, whose 2004 EP proved quite enjoyable. I have struggled to trudge through this "Rise of Deceased" (missing an article, the?) once, maybe twice. The sole redeeming characteristic of this seemingly superfluous recording is perhaps the thin despondent atmosphere. There are some riff vaguely interesting, underdeveloped possibilities here but placed in such a agonizingly tedious, uninspired, aimless context, the atmosphere ultimately makes little difference in motivating any repeated listenings here. I could even go so far as to draw certain parallels between this recording and any number of weak mid-90's emo bands. In the end, this demo only proves that this scourge of one-man-band sub-mediocre genericism is alive & well. Let's just say, I will not be waiting with baited breath for the inevitable ultra limited vinyl only full length...
