The Kiss of Death makes Sigurd Wongraven’s heart beat faster every time he sees it. Why does the black metal musician from the Norwegian band Satyricon have such an emotional relationship with this particular artwork by Edvard Munch?

What I like about how death is expressed here, is that it is broken, unfinished and crooked.
