announced: Serious Black. Including Roland Grapow (Masterplan) and Thomen Stauch (Blind Guardian, Savage Circus), as well as Dominik Sebastian (Edenbridge), Mario Lochert (Visions of Atlantis), and Jan Vacik (Dreamscape), the band released their debut album As Daylight Breaks in early 2015. They first toured as the supporting act for Hammerfall on their European tour in January and February 2015. Despite a couple of personnel changes over the ensuing year and a half, Serious Black released their second album Mirrorworld in September 2016, with Bob Katsionis (Firewind) and Alex Holzworth (Rhapsody) replacing Grapow and Stauch, respectively. They made their U.S. live debut at ProgPower XVII in Atlanta on 10 September. Their first headlining tour took place shortly thereafter, in Europe. In April 2017, via their Facebook page, the band announced that their third studio album, Magic, would be released in August 2017. They also announced dates for their supporting headlining tour in Fall 2017. Urban breed left Serious Black in 2021. Other projects/bands On 11 July 2008, it was announced that Urban had become the new singer of Danish progressive/power metal band Pyramaze. He replaced previous vocalist Matt Barlow, who left to re-join Iced Earth. However, the work with Pyramaze was put on hold, and ultimately Urban never recorded with them. On 18 June 2010, Breed announced he would be singing on a new Dark Empire album. On 15 October 2010, Breed announced that due to what can best be termed creative differences, he would not be recording with Dark Empire after all. Breed has also contributed backing vocals on fellow Swedes Wolverine's 2003 album Cold Light of Monday and 2008's Memory Garden album, Carnage Carnival, and guest vocals on the song "Silence the Wolves," from Neverland's 2010 album Ophidia. About the name Despite the various issues it raises, Urban breed insists that this is his actual given name, including the spelling of "breed" with a lowercase B.
