Dead Heat Announce New LP "Process Of Elimination"

Recent Metal Blade Records signees DEAD HEAT have revealed the details of their upcoming label debut, Process of Elimination, scheduled to be released on October 10th. The record was produced by the band with Paul Fig (Deftones, Trivium, Jerry Cantrell) and will be available on CD and digital formats as well as various vinyl variants. Alongside the album artwork and tracklist, they've also premiered the first single, "Perpetual Punishment."

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,” elaborates guitarist Justin Ton. “Our music is a metal/hardcore twist, but I’d say we intentionally leaned more and more metal in our sound.

Lyrically, I wanted to touch on a bit of everything, with every song about a different topic,” explains vocalist Chris Ramos. “I feel like I was able to articulate a better understanding of what I was trying to express previously.

We are against all racist bigotry in this country,” adds 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.”
