Leaving

by Planning for Burial

Leaving cover art

The debut full-length from Thom Wasluck's solo project seamlessly blends the crushing weight of drone metal with the melancholic atmosphere of 1990s slowcore. Recorded in isolation, the music utilizes walls of fuzzy, reverberating guitars, gloomy drum machine programming, and distant, buried vocal wails. It laid the foundation for the intensely personal, genre-blurring 'doomgaze' aesthetic that defined his later career.
