Country: Reading, UK
First full length release after a split and an EP, UK metalcore act The Arusha Accord strengthens the bond between TAA and fellow countrymen Architects even more.
At 0:01 in the opening track Dead To Me the word 'Architects' appear in my mind. Pretty similar riffs, same technical metalcore style, similar vocals. One thing different though is the dual-vocal approach, which should always expect a warm welcome. This is however nothing new, but something to be noted. As I've not seen this band live (or any other band that has two main vocalists for that matter) it oughta be pretty awesome.
Even though similar to other bands in the same genre, it has a pretty unique sound to it. The two vocalists each have their own "area", one of them have pretty high screams, while the other do the lows, and both do awesome clean vocals.
I'm a little disappointed though as most songs sound pretty the much the same. There are no "weird" intermissions, nothing that stands out. A pretty darn decent album though, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Best track: Dead To Me
Score: 7/10
