In a recent interview with BW&BK about his new band, BLOODBOUND, vocalist Urban Breed discussed his reasons for leaving TAD MOROSE a couple weeks ago:
"It was a long, ongoing process of alienation," Breed begins. "I was isolating myself from the rest of the band to a certain extent. When we were on tour I wouldn't hang out with the guys, stuff like that. I think the thing that really forced me to make the decision to leave was an interview I read with Christer (Andersson/guitars). He actually said what I saw for a very long time; he said outright that the guys didn't like playing the songs that I wrote. I know his manner and he always likes to speak for everyone else. So, he just mentioned that he didn't want to play songs that I had written in their entirety, that it didn't matter if the fans didn't like it because those songs were a yawn to play. I'd had that impression for quite a while and eventually that sort of thing wears you down."
For the record, Breed wrote three songs for the last Tad Morse album, Modus Vivendi: 'Mother Shipton's Words', 'Take On The World' and 'When The Spirit Rules The World'.
"I can understand that my leaving is a shock to some people," Breed continues. "Other people saw it coming. I'm not sure it's the end of Tad Morose because Daniel (Olsson/guitars) is still in the band, so there's quite a lot of songwriting talent left there. If it wasn't for Daniel the last album would have sounded quite different because what I didn't write, he wrote. It was the two of us that wrote the bulk of the material, but if you ask Christer you'll get a different story. He sees things differently."
