Urban Breed (often written with a lowercase "breed") is the current vocalist for Serious Black, and Project Arcadia, and he is the former vocalist for Swedish heavy metal bands Bloodbound and Tad Morose, as well as Trail of Murder.
Urban's style and voice have been described as similar to Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio), Jon Oliva (Savatage, Jon Oliva's Pain), Zak Stevens (Savatage, Circle II Circle), and Mike Howe (Metal Church).
Urban's current bands are Serious Black, and Project Arcadia. His first official release was with Tad Morose.
Tad Morose
Urban joined Tad Morose in 1996, replacing singer Kristian 'Krille' Andrén. He appeared on the albums A Mended Rhyme (1997), Undead (2000), Matters of the Dark (2002) and Modus Vivendi (2003). He left Tad Morose in December 2005.
Bloodbound
He sang on Bloodbound's 2005 debut, Nosferatu, and later co-wrote and performed on their third studio album, Tabula Rasa. Although he announced in 2006 that he was no longer working with Bloodbound, who hired another singer, Michael Bormann, to record vocals on their second album, he later agreed to, and did, perform with them at Sweden Rock Festival in June 2007. The band announced in October 2007 that he had rejoined as an official member. However, in 2010, Breed announced on his forum that Bloodbound had decided to continue with another singer, thus ending his second tenure with the band.
