Mirel Wagner – No Death from Aki Roukala on Vimeo.

Mirel Wagner, a Finnish singer/songwriter born in Ethiopia. A voice and an acoustic guitar. A dark room with one window and one mirror. A lover whose hair smells like mud, whose kiss is marked by the taste of a rotten tongue. An eerie blend of romance, sexuality, and mortality. A devoted bond sealed by a solemn vow. “No Death” finds two bodies huddled together, love dwarfed by the deafening silence associated with fear, their passion for each other taking a backseat to their need to hide. But the Reaper slips in through the doors and creeps underneath the floorboards. Spoiler alert: Death wins in the end; it always does.
