Dreamland Manor is the debut album of German power metal band Savage Circus. The album sounds similar to older classic Blind Guardian.[5]
The band wrote most of the album together. Three songs, however, were written solely by Thomen for the next Blind Guardian album: "Evil Eyes", "It – The Gathering", and the ballad "Beyond Reality".[6] Thomen comments:
Three songs I wrote for Blind Guardian. And when I noticed, when they were done, that the songs were very similar to old Blind Guardian stuff, more back-to-the-roots, I noticed that it would be big problem to present these songs to my ex-band members, because, OK, then I was still in the band, but I knew when I would play the songs to them they would say: "Hey, this is something we already did ten years ago."[6]
