| Wednesday, March 25, 2009 - Savage Circus - New song online | Dockyard 1 Records reports:
"After 5 million years in hibernation Savage Circus send an impressive wake-up call: The first song of their new album! Go and get a listen to the track 'The Ordeal' at the official website or the band's MySpace.
The pages are also updated with some exclusive pictures from the recordings as well as a personal letter from the band too all their fans:
"Hi to all the good folks,
It?'s been a long time... and if you say too long, you are damned right! Well, there is not really one overall reason for this absence; it?'s more or less a combination of smaller and bigger things in the life of the individual band members. But there?'s been one thing for sure, that struck all of us at the same time: the separation from Thomen. This hit us right in the middle of the first songwriting process for the follow up album to Dreamland Manor, and as you may imagine was not really a boost to our creativity. This had to be "digested" for a while...
While "digesting" in Umea, Sweden a lot of things did happen. Jens and Emilio got involved in the annual House Of Metal Festival (where SC played in 2007). This is quite a lot of stuff to take care for and indeed is time consuming. Yet another quite time consuming activity can be reported from Jens: he built a house! And nevertheless Emilio has encountered the maybe by far most time consuming thing in the world: the man got married! Congratulations and welcome to the club!
But also in Hamburg time moved on. In early 2006 my 3rd (!) daughter was given birth and she?s just sweet as honey. By now she is 3 years old and started kindergarten in October 2008. This finally gave me back the time I needed so bad to finish up my songwriting for SC! In the year before it has been my job to take care of the little one during the day... I thought, songwriting is best at night, so no problem. Unfortunately I forgot, how much energy such a little thing draws from you. Those of you with kids of their own know, what I am talking about. So this whole thing turned into a more or less unplanned Sabbath year for little Piet. The only thing I managed to do was to play 2 US shows with my other band Iron Savior (check www.iron-savior.com for more details on this) and to come up with a handful of riffs and melodies for the SC songwriting.
At this point the whole band would like to thank all of you for your patience big time. And your patience shall be rewarded! We are in the final process of the songwriting and a good 90% of the songs are finished and ready to get recorded.
But it will get even better - Jens and Emilio have already recorded vocals on the first track and they added some pics from the recording that can be found on www.savage-circus.com. So the pre-production of the follow up the the great debut album has started! And as a proof of life you will find the first teaser track 'The Ordeal' on www.savage-circus.com, too!
So enjoy the first demo-sounds from the forthcoming album and check back this page very soon for more infos!
All the best to all of you!
Emilio, Jens, Mike, Yenz and Piet."

| Monday, August 20, 2007 - Savage Circus Release Drummer Thomen Stauch | Savage Circus has issued the following announcement:
"Dear Friends,
After the recent events at the Rengsdorf Rock & Blues Festival and the Rock Am Schloss Festival the band sees no perspective any more to go on with our drummer Thomen Stauch. Therefore we immediately release him from all duties.
Even though we are aware of his personal situation we cannot ignore the fact anymore that he is still not able to carry out his duties for Savage Circus.
Already in summer 2005 Thomes started to cancel most of his all planed out promotional activities. In 2006 he canceled the Japanese shows and wasn't part of any other activity for the whole year. We gave him this entire year to solve his situation because we deeply hoped that he would be able to recover and to get back into pace again. But instead in spring this year Thomen almost canceled the CIRCLE II CIRCLE tour. Now he canceled two festival shows with extremely short notice again...
We are very sorry, but we cannot take this any more. We supported and backed Thomen up for over 2 1/2 years by now, but as sad as it is we must face that it is just not going anywhere. Even though we still do have a lot of understanding for his situation, we cannot allow the unintended but yet serious damage he is doing to the band in which all of us invest so much energy and work. We do want Savage Circus to happen, but we cannot see it happen with Thomen any more.
We are not looking back in anger, we'd rather like to look into the future. The production of the Dreamland Manor follow-up is not dramatically effected by this, but we will need some time to decide and work in a worthy replacement, who will be anounced shortly. Therefore the release date will move to early 2008.
We wish Thomen well and hope, that he will find his way.
With deepest regrets,
Emil, Jens and Piet."
