Tad Morose

Tad Morose's original lineup consisted of Christer Andersson, Per-Ola Olsson, and Dan-Erik Eriksson.{{Cite web|url=http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1864|title=TAD MOROSE|website=Progarchives.com|accessdate=2 April 2020}} Their full-length debut was Leaving the Past Behind, released in 1993.{{cite web |title=TadMorose: Leaving the Past Behind |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/leaving-the-past-behind-mw0000619249 |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=9 May 2019}} In the subsequent decade the band went through numerous lineup changes, with Andersson as the only consistent member, and released a total of seven albums. A relative success came to the band with the arrival of lead singer Urban Breed, who appears on four albums, including highlights Undead (2000) and Matters of the Dark (2002).{{cite web |last1=Prato |first1=Greg |title=Tad Morose: Biography |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/tad-morose-mn0000016549/biography |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=9 May 2019}} The band released Modus Vivendi in 2004, signaling a shift away from symphonic and progressive metal toward a more traditional metal sound.{{cite web |last1=Rivadavia |first1=Eduardo |title=Modus Vivendi: Review |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/modus-vivendi-mw0000695974 |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=9 May 2019}} In late 2004 Urban Breed departed. The band toured for several years after the release of Modus Vivendi, with several more lineup changes including a stint by singer Joe Comeau, but they were unable to return to the recording studio.{{cite web |title=Leaving the Past Behind: An Interview with Tad Morose |url=https://www.metalblast.net/interviews/leaving-the-past-behind-an-interview-with-tad-morose/ |website=Metal Blast |accessdate=9 May 2019 |date=28 November 2013}}
