Milwaukee metalcore heavyweights Vacant Voice are back with a ferocious new single, “Waste,” and it’s exactly the kind of sonic beatdown we’ve come to expect from this crew.

Clocking in at just over two minutes, “Waste” is a relentless surge of energy—the kind of track that doesn’t ask permission before taking the wind out of your lungs. Dense guitar work, punishing breakdowns, and the band’s signature interplay between harsh and clean vocals make this one a standout in their growing catalog.

Since emerging from the Milwaukee-area scene in 2023, Vacant Voice has been steadily building momentum with releases like “Roscoe’s Violent Dreams” and “Transience.” With “Waste,” they continue to prove why they’ve earned their spot in the local heavy music conversation—and why they’ve been mentioned alongside lineups for events like Milwaukee Metal Fest 2026.

If you’ve been sleeping on Vacant Voice, consider this your wake-up call. Stream “Waste” now on Spotify and get ready for whatever comes next.
