In October 2007, Urban announced his new full-time project, Trail of Murder, with Pelle Åkerlind ([[Morgana Lefay]], [[Bloodbound]]) and Daniel Olsson (ex-[[Tad Morose]]).

In 2022, it was announced via the band's Facebook page that Urban would not be continuing with the band.
'''Serious Black'''

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.
Subsequently, Serious Black in interviews revealed that he had been very difficult to work with but had planned on continuing recordings with him on the current album and were blindsided when he seemed to imply he was fired from the band, and later wrote a song about his overblown ego on their next album.
Breed has to date not been involved in any other music projects.
