West Coast group Dead Heat have released their latest video for “The Order” from their Process Of Elimination full-length album. It paves the way for the record‘s official release today, Friday, October 10th, 2025, on Metal Blade Records.

Produced by the band with Paul Fig (Deftones, Trivium, Jerry Cantrell), Process Of Elimination is Dead Heat‘s first album for Metal Blade. The record follows the band‘s 2023 release, the Endless Torment EP, and shows continuation and progression from it, while thematically it reflects the band’s “disdain for the powers that be.”

Vocalist Chris Ramos comments on the new single:

’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.
