Who says death has to be a downer? Musician and spiritual artist Aaron Koenig is here to flip the script with his latest single, “Death”. This funky, guitar-driven rap takes the ultimate topic and transforms it into an empowering, groove-filled anthem, showing us that death isn’t the end—it’s just the next step on your hero’s journey.

With a catchy hook that goes, “This is not the end, death can be your friend”, Aaron’s take on death comes straight from his Buddhist practice and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He’s all about shaking off the fear and embracing the idea that life keeps on going—just in a different outfit.

Musically, “Death” is a certified bop, built on punchy beats, slick synth bass, and funky guitar riffs that’ll make you want to move. It’s the perfect track for anyone who loves their music with meaning and a killer groove.

And the music video? A visual feast inspired by Mexico’s lively Day of the Dead celebrations. Aaron dons skull face paint (courtesy of Swedish artist Filippa Levemark) and dances through a post-production world filled with vibrant Mexican imagery. It’s a joyful, colorful tribute to life and death that’ll have you celebrating both.
