Musical style

Planning for Burial's music takes influences from a wide array of genres, and is labeled as "gloomgaze" and "experimental metal." According to Pitchfork critic Andy O'Connor, Thom Wasluck of Planning for Burial "filters post-metal, doom, ambient, and goth-rock through his own terminally miserable lens." Vice described the band as "a fully-contained, one-man band who delves into shoegaze, metal, black metal and other elements to craft somber, emotional songs," and compared its style to those of English post-metal band Jesu. New Noise Magazine argued that the act's sound "contains elements of slowcore, shoegaze, doom, drone, 90’s alt rock, 80’s goth, and black metal, while never being defined by any one of those genres." Jason Cook of PopMatters also drew parallels between the band's debut studio album, Leaving, and Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album, The Fragile.

Wasluck releases Planning for Burials on various mediums, including on floppy disks, and cassettes.
