'''Tad Morose''' is a Swedish [[power metal]] band. Formed in [[Bollnäs]] in 1991, they are led by guitarist Christer "Krunt" Andersson. Their style has been described as "a power/classic [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] hybrid with slight [[Progressive metal|progressive]] tendencies".<ref name="knac Chapter X">{{cite web |last1=Mihalovich |first1=George |title=TAD MOROSE Chapter X |url=http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=29068 |website=knac.com |accessdate=22 July 2018}}</ref>

== History ==
Tad Morose's original lineup consisted of Christer Andersson, Per-Ola Olsson, and Dan-Erik Eriksson.<ref name="progarchives">{{Cite web|url=http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1864|title=TAD MOROSE|website=Progarchives.com|accessdate=2 April 2020}}</ref> Their full-length debut was ''Leaving the Past Behind'', released in 1993.<ref>{{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}}</ref> 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).<ref name="AllMusic">{{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}}</ref> The band released ''[[Modus Vivendi (Tad Morose album)|Modus Vivendi]]'' in 2004, signaling a shift away from symphonic and progressive metal toward a more traditional metal sound.<ref>{{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}}</ref>  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.<ref name="MetalBlast">{{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}}</ref>
