Straight off the road from a week with About A Plane Crash, Reading tech metal sextet The Arusha Accord is preparing hit the studio to record their debut album. This highly anticipated follow up to the critically acclaimed EP Nightmares in the Ocean will be recorded at Outhouse Studios (Enter Shikari, Funeral for a Friend, Architects) throughout April.

The currently untitled album will be an evolution from the extreme controlled chaos heard on the EP. As guitarist James Clayton explains: "The new material tames the frenetic style heard on the Nightmares of the Ocean EP and adds more groove and balance within the structures."
The band is in the final stages of firming up a deal with a highly reputable European label that will see the record distributed worldwide. The record and supporting video are expected to be released early summer.
Following last years killer performance, The Arusha Accord have been added to this year's Ghostfest at Rios in Leeds and will also be supporting Protest The Hero at the same venue on 4 March.
Having recently joined The Legacy Agency's roster, The Arusha Accord will be extensively touring the UK, first off with Lower than Atlantis and Random Conflict in May.
James Clayton continues: "We're taking three months off to prepare for this album, so the touring afterwards will be a huge reward and we're looking forward to playing some new venues and gaining new fans along the way. We're all really excited about sorting out sh*t with this new label and we hope to have some more open doors in new territories."
