The Swedish heavy metal band Tad Morose was originally formed in 1991, and although numerous members have pa**ed through their ranks over the years, the only constant member has been founding guitarist Christer "Krunt" Andersson. Starting off as a vocal/guitar/ba**/drum quartet, the band added a keyboardist to the lineup by 1993, the same year Tad Morose recorded their first demo tape (inking a recording deal with Black Mark Production shortly thereafter). The quintet's debut full-length, Leaving the Past Behind, immediately followed, which was described by many as a combination of Metallica and Dream Theater. 1995 saw the release of the group's sophomore effort, Sender of Thoughts, which was followed up the same year with a five-track live mini-album, Paradigma, produced by renowned metal vet Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, Memento Mori). The group faced a period of uncertainty when singer Kristian Andren decided to leave the band, but the group's worries didn't last long, as they found a suitable replacement with a chap who goes by the name of Urban Breed. Further releases followed, including 1997's A Mended Rhyme and 2001's Undead (the latter of which was Tad Morose's first release for the Century Media label). ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
