Arsenic is his darker Project, with successful tracks already released on compilations from Amaris, Stone Age, Innersound, Night Oracle, Trip and Manic Dragon.

Manic Dragon is delighted to present the debut album of Arsenic, inspired by the movies of Akira Kurasawa and Hayao Miyazaki. A formidable demon tells the story, through music, of a great city of the future, Caelestia, brought into a world of darkness by scientists from Arithmetix Laboratories experimenting on the structure of atomic matter - experiments which went horribly wrong. One little girl was watching the sky as it flickered red and white – it was the end of Caelestia, but not the end of the girl – sound and energy enveloped her and penetrated her soul - she became the demon who returns to us now to tell her story.
