'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."
