For those who feel “It’s exactly because the rainy season is so muggy that I want to listen to something heavy!”, I recommend the song The Year Summer Ended in June.

It’s by Misery Signals, a metalcore band from the U.S.

and Canada known for odd time signatures and breakdowns, and it appears on their 2004 album Of Malice and the Magnum Heart.

The nostalgia that comes through amid the dense, death-growl-laden sound is striking, and the lyrics—depicting the sorrow of losing someone dear in June—really resonate.

Why not try this energetic track on a rainy day when you’re feeling a bit unsettled?
