01 Death.m4a Apr 2026

This track serves as a jarring, high-intensity manifesto that sets the tone for one of the most aggressive entries in Arca's KICK anthology.

: As the first track, "DEATH" represents the shedding of old skins. In the context of the KICK series—which explores identity, transness, and machinery—this track acts as the "ego death" required to enter the chaotic world of KICK iii . 01 DEATH.m4a
