Vacant Future is leading a hardcore punk invasion and their coming for your house. Vacant Future implements all the best parts of my favorite heavy genres: the aggressive downbeat in hardcore punk, thrash guitar in speed metal, and death metal vocals that make your throat sore just listening. “Spirit of Spite” is by far my favorite track off their self-titled demo. It’s the perfect mix of punk and classic speed metal in the vein of Lemmy. Like so many punk bands used to, they even have a title track song, “Future is Vacant.” That’s how you know you’re listening to real punk, right? -Michael Perry
