[edit] 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 of 2005. Thomen Stauch was fired from the band on August 17, 2007, due to his frail health,^{[citation needed]} 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 is expected in early 2008.^{[citation needed]}
