  2. Hmm.. upgraded my to on my main PC with a 3050 GPU.

    Note: Running with KDE Plasma 6.

    However both and browsers are both flickering like mad !

    I cleared the GPUCache folders. No change.

    I've re-installed both and but the flickering continues.

    I've tried turning off Hardware Acceleration in both browsers..

    I've tried running

    sudo depmod -a

    and rebooting but that didn't fix it.

    Any thoughts/ideas?

  11. Withering Soul – Passage of the Arcane Review

    By Andy-War-Hall

    Much has changed in the decade since Withering Soul last graced this website. I was in high school when Madam X placed a scarlet 2.5 on Adverse Portrait, a scoring I would agree with wholeheartedly.1 It was an enjoyable but unfocused work, and its Moonspell-akin gothic tendencies didn’t mesh well with the band’s Dissection worship. But in a development not covered here, Withering Soul leveled up with 2021’s Last Contact, dropping the Type O Negative vocals almost entirely and amping up their blackened core with beefier riffs and more engaging compositions. Some gothic elements remained, and what did felt far better integrated into their style than before. Withering Soul continue down this stylistic path through their fifth album Passage of the Arcane, centered on the theme of “human experiences traversing into cursed oblivion.” Have Withering Soul really discovered a path of subliminal qualities, or will Passage of the Arcane only lead to disappointment?

    Passage of the Arcane is a sensible progression from Last Contact for Withering Soul. Sporting Dark Fortress atmospheres brute-forced to life through death-influenced Dissection riffage, Withering Soul have departed even further from goth rock than Last Contact in favor of even more blistering melodic black metal. Gone are the low, clean croons of Withering Soul’s past, with lead man Christopher2 relying entirely on his powerful, hoarse screams for vocals. But the songs remain snappy with strong, hooky riffs and seamless transitions between various musical ideas. Death metal grime stains Withering Soul’s sonic tapestry on “Grievance Eludes the Light” and “Among Covetous Eyes,” while the sheen of synthesizers coats “Gallery of the End” and “Burden of the Valiant.” Withering Soul are clearly a talented bunch and everyone gets a chance to shine on Passage of the Arcane; with guitarist Frank G. layering “Gallery of the End” with a bright, melodic solo; drummer Rick hitting slick fills on “Grievance Eludes the Light” and bassist Joel dropping fat, sneaky lines on “Trajectory.” Withering Soul don’t break the mold with Passage of the Arcane, but they did craft an album better than their last.

    There’s real dirt in Passage of the Arcane. The opening one-two-three punch of “Attrition Horizon,” “Grievance Eludes the Light,” and “The Monolith Embodied” sees Withering Soul swing with heavyweight might as Christopher and Frank G.’s guitars pummel through power chord abusive, tremolo-heavy riffs of winding, thrashy and frost rimed-natures. Things get more exploratory as Passage of the Arcane progresses, but Withering Soul never let off that initial intensity. Passage of the Arcane’s punchy production makes Rick’s kick drums really thump, and Joel’s bass comes through big time in Withering Soul’s chuggier, groovier moments (“Trajectory”). There’s an embarrassment of good riffs here, and everything clear of fat until, unfortunately, the closer “Burden of the Valiant,” but even that song picks up eventually. Like the blackened counterpart to Dormant Ordeal from earlier this year, Withering Soul more often than not embody aggression, dealing out some truly cut-throat metal on Passage of the Arcane.

    But Withering Soul is held back from greatness by a lack of variety in certain areas. Riffs are multitudinous, but almost every guitar lead on Passage feels identical, usually consisting of basic eighth note arpeggios overtop tremolo riffs that don’t really do much to spruce up the chords (“Attrition Horizon,” “Gallery of the End,” “Burden of the Valiant”). It just stinks that Withering Soul couldn’t bring the creativity they have for rhythm guitar to lead. Similarly (and a bit ironically), vocal monotony is an issue, as Christopher only uses one style of scream across Passage of the Arcane’s 41 minutes. Perhaps a little goth bass singing wouldn’t go amiss, as a treat? These complaints may verge on nitpicks, but they are prominent and persistent enough to somewhat sully my enthusiasm for Passage of the Arcane.

    Withering Soul assembled Passage of the Arcane out of common ingredients to the sub-genre, but tight songwriting and strong performances elevate the material. Though an immediate album in many ways, Passage was a grower for me, as repeat listenings revealed little details and how the pieces move. If you like your black metal riff-centric and melodic, this is an easy recommendation. Withering Soul may have reduced their sonic palette over the years, but the downsizing only made them leaner and meaner, and Passage of the Arcane is a lean, mean listen.

  12. New #review today: "#TheWinterResidence is the latest collaboration between British multi-instrumentalist #MikeSeed and #RLoftiss of #TheGrayFieldRecordings. Their debut album, How the Night Falls, presents eleven tracks in just under forty minutes, traversing territory somewhere between #DarkFolk, #wyrdfolk, hauntological folk, and experimental #folktronica. Ethereal vocals drift through indistinct electronic textures, #FieldRecordings, and spectral atmospheres that often seem to exist at the edge of perception." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #ExperimentalMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/

    Bon, je préfère toujours sa face #TheThirdEyeFoundation , mais je dois admettre que ce live est assez exceptionnel, et je vais peut-être me fendre d'un achat.

  16. 🕯 Something I keep thinking about — the most enduring horror often isn't invented. It's remembered. Folklore passed down with the volume deliberately lowered. A place, a ritual, a moment that doesn't resolve cleanly 🖤

    Dark Descent Monthly Magazine is open to writers and artists working in that territory. If you've been holding something that doesn't fit neatly into fiction, it belongs in the ShadowSphere.

    Nightmare Poetry is the Dark Forum group for original horror verse — work that unsettles, disturbs, and lingers. Share it. Talk atmosphere. Read what other people posted and stay a while.

    A small number of poems may be selected as Editor’s Choice for the next issue of Dark Descent. Selective. Never guaranteed.
