Savage Circus is a German/Swedish power metal band originally created as a side project by Thomen Stauch before leaving Blind Guardian.

Biography

Savage Circus began when Stauch asked his friend Piet Sielck if he was interested in joining Thomen's new project, which he was. Piet then introduced a Swedish band called Persuader to Thomen. Thomen liked the band and also liked the fact that the vocalist sounded very much like Hansi Kürsch.^{[citation needed]} Thomen immediately said that he wanted to have Jens Carlsson (singer of Persuader) in the band.^{[citation needed]} Jens brought with him Persuader guitarist Emil Norberg. Their debut album, Dreamland Manor was released in August 2005. Thomen Stauch was fired from the band on 17 August 2007 due to his frail health, leading to the cancellations of many shows. In September 2007, Mike Terrana joined the band as the new drummer. At the same time Yenz Leonhardt became a full member of the band. The release of the Dreamland Manor's follow-up Of Doom and Death was originally expected to be released in early 2009^{[citation needed]} but was pushed back to 23 October.

The musical style is similar to both Blind Guardian and Persuader due to the singing style and multi-layered vocals used in the band. The band also contains some elements of Iron Savior, due to Piet Sielck's writing.

In 2012, it was announced the comeback of Thomen Stauch to the band, together with a change of the line-up with the second guitarist Thorsten 'Toto' Hain and keyboardist Michael 'Mi' Schüren also joining the band.^[1] Piet Sielck left to concentrate more on his main band Iron Savior and Mike Terrana to work with vocalist Tarja Turunen.
