Biography

The idea behind this German band was spawned by Thomen Stauch as he was having trouble seeing his new compositions fit into the direction his former band Blind Guardian was taking. Discussing this with old friend Piet Sielck of Iron Savior, Thomen introduced the idea of forming a band following the style these new songs had: dynamic, melodic and intricate arrangements topped off with soaring vocals. The only problem was with whom he should team up with to realize this new band. Having heard Thomen’s songs, Piet suggested he should check out Persuader as he had produced their sophomore album Evolution Purgatory. Thomen instantly felt the connection between his new compositions and the songwriting style found on the Persuader album. Piet supplied Thomen with the contacts for Emil Norberg and Jens Carlsson who really liked the idea to work with Thomen on this project. Having known Piet for a long time as a great guitarist and an experienced producer, he asked him to be a part of this new band as well - of course, he was delighted to.

Still, there were some practical problems to be solved with these young Swedes being quite far away. However, the Internet came to the rescue. The possibility of having access to Piet’s studio during the songwriting sessions made this quite an easy mission. Sending mp3 files back and forth and discussing song structures and sounds through e-mails and phone conversations became a natural way to work for Savage Circus.

    Who'll write the songs now that Sielck's out of the band? Will they be any good? (Good thing that Thomen's back in, though, provided they will still get a great BG-influenced record out.)

    "they are more "blind guardian" than the current blind guardian." Blind Guardian will always "be" whatever it is they are producing,

    A copy of Blind Guardian, but it's hard not to admit that they're good. (:

    Nah, there are really the most Tales from the Twilight World references in Dreamland Manor. But I don't care what they're ripping, it's still a freaking awesome album. :)
