Planning For Burial is the gloom-ridden solo project of musician Thom Wasluck. Emerging from the depths of self-reflection and solitude, Planning For Burial blurs the lines between shoegaze, doom metal, and ambient music, crafting a uniquely haunting soundtrack to Wasluck's introspective universe. Since its inception in 2005, the project has gained a reputation for Wasluck's ability to fuse heavy guitar riffs with ethereal synths and poignant vocals, creating an atmosphere that is as dense and foreboding as it is emotive and melancholic.

The extensive body of work produced by Planning For Burial includes releases like "Below the House" (2017), which delves into themes of personal isolation and change, and the sprawling compilation "Matawan - Collected Works 2010-2014," showcasing the evolution of Wasluck's sound over a significant period of his career. His poignant tracks, such as "As a Lover" and "Desideratum," affirm the artist's skill in melding melody with melancholia, resonating with audiences who find solace in the shadowy corners of his sonic landscapes. Planning For Burial has become synonymous with a type of ambient heaviness, offering listeners a cathartic experience through its dissonant, yet deeply reflective musical passages.
