"Process of Elimination," Dead Heat's first album for Metal Blade, sees the Oxnard, California-based band reaching a sonic and lyrical apex across 11 heavy tracks, produced by the band with Paul Fig (Deftones, Trivium, Jerry Cantrell). "Perpetual Punishment" opens the record with gentle guitar before kicking into aggro/hardcore mode. "We chose this song to start Process… because when it hits, it's hard, and has a great flow," states singer Chris Ramos. "Lyrically it's about not wasting your time in life because tomorrow simply isn't promised. It's a key theme I always try to portray in lyrical form, or even in random stage banter. I feel like it's what's keeps me going on every day."

"Process of Elimination" follows the 2023 "Endless Torment" EP, and the new record ups the ante, a continuation and progression musically, while thematically it often touches on Dead Heat's disdain for the powers that be. "Lyrically I wanted to touch on a bit of everything, with every song about a different topic," explains Ramos. "I feel like I was able to articulate a better understanding of what I was trying to express previously on Process…"

"We are against all racist bigotry in this country," furthers Ton. "Most of the band is of immigrant descent. We also seek for the world to stop supporting these corporate/political monsters that only seek out personal gain and nothing else."
