DEAD HEAT have dropped a video for the track "The Order" off their recently released LP "Process Of Elimination" through Metal Balde.
Vocalist Chris Ramos shared:
'The Order' is about knowing your place in line when it comes to things. Just because you're given something, doesn't mean you always earn it and when it comes to that, real recognizes real. Some people all they do is leech off others and use them just to benefit themselves and break away later. Always know there's an order to things and if you don't follow you don't need to be around.
From the label...
Produced by the band with Paul Fig (Deftones, Trivium, Jerry Cantrell), Process Of Elimination is DEAD HEAT’s first album for Metal Blade. Across eleven heavy tracks, it sees the Oxnard, California-based band reaching a sonic and lyrical apex. Forged in 2016, the band is constantly evolving. “I feel like unconsciously the music has become more complex with the songwriting and how we play live as well. We all naturally wanted to become better musicians and it shows in our music and live presence,” says guitarist Justin Ton. “Our music has a metal/ hardcore twist, but I’d say we intentionally leaned more and more metal in our sound.”
"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."
