I don't know how this one went under my radar, but four days ago blackened deathcore band Mental Cruelty dropped a new single called "Forgotten Kings". This song is off of their upcoming "Zwielicht" album that's set to be released June 23rd. This is absolutely freakin brutal! The range of their vocalist's voice is insane! He can go from black metal shrieks to the piglike squeals of deathcore in about 2 seconds flat. The drums are absolutely bangin! The guitars and bass have some insane complexity going on. They go from very fast technical work to some djenty almost doomy slower notes without missing a beat, and the solo is just so good! Then we've also got these keys playing with the sounds of some very dramatic symphonic lines, which just add another level of badassery to this tune. The video is really visually interested, a bit gross, and a bit disturbing. It's very ritualistic, which fits so well with the music. I really can't say enough good about it. This song is fantastic. I look forward to hearing the rest of the album. ~Gangis

That's what the new Skeleton 8 Days feels like to me. It's Bulgari realizing the importance of the Octo as a model range and looking to link further its technical bona fides in-house and then executing with a new manufacture caliber. In so doing, the brand has created link a precious metal centerpiece for its Geneva Watch Days novelties which, by the way, at link 5.95mm tall, is no thick watch.
We've covered several of Chanel's more ambitious watchmaking projects over the last few years, including the Boy.Friend and the Monsieur de Chanel, which has link a movement produced in collaboration with independent watchmaker Romain Gauthier. The company link has also partnered with Audemars Piguet on several occasions link and has used the AP automatic caliber 3120 in several watches in the past.
Studying for his Masters in Design and Luxury Craftsmanship at École Cantonale d'Art de link Lausanne (ECAL) provided the opportunity to get closer to the Swiss watch industry, both geographically and professionally. A cast aluminum table mirror for Vacheron link Constantin was followed by designing a new watch, link the Galop, for Hermès.
