SAVAGE CIRCUS released its debut album, «Dreamland Manor», in North America in March 2006 via Century Media Records. An MP3 for the track «Evil Eyes» has been posted online at this location. The North American version of the CD, which was issued in Europe in August 2005, includes the «Evil Eyes» video.
Seeing his musical style diverge from that of his primary band, BLIND GUARDIAN, Stauch yearned to compose music reminiscent of their classic albums, «Tales from the Twilight Worlds» and «Imaginations from the Other Side». Stauch founded SAVAGE CIRCUS in 2004 and immediately sought like-minded musicians to round out the band?s lineup. Longtime friend Piet Sielck (IRON SAVIOR) recommended members of the Swedish band PERSUADER, guitarist Emil Norberg and vocalist Jens Carlsson, whose sophomore album he had produced. Instantly feeling a connection with their musical style, Stauch contacted Norberg and Carlsson who agreed to work with him. Stauch then turned to Sielck asking him to complete the band’s circle, playing guitar and recording bass tracks. Following the 2005 recording of «Dreamland Manor» and his musical visions realized, Stauch decided to leave BLIND GUARDIAN, making SAVAGE CIRCUS his full-time band.
Dreamland Manor es, en mi opinión, un excelente disco. A ver si el DVD está a la altura.
