Musical style and influences

Musically, Silent Planet has been described as metalcore, [59] [60] and more specifically, progressive metalcore. [61] [62] They are known for their intricate sound and incorporation of post-rock textures. [63] The band has also been noted for their thought-provoking lyrics, which cover topics such as war, psychology, religion, and politics. [64] [65] Russell cites songs such as "No Place to Breathe" (in support of Black Lives Matter) and "Alive, as a Housefire" (confronting the ideological divide in the United States of America) as explicit statements of the band's political beliefs. [66]

Band members have listed Oh, Sleeper, Architects, Underoath, and This Will Destroy You as influences on their sound. [67]

Christianity

Silent Planet have sometimes been labeled as Christian metal,[ citation needed ] due to their use of biblical references and some of the band members' faith, though they incorporate non-religious themes and references as well. In a 2019 interview with Metal Injection, Garrett Russell said:

"I'll tell you point blank for the record, we've never considered ourselves a Christian metal band and even the perception that we are a Christian metal band has definitely made our lives harder. We get passed up on tours because they don't want to be associated with us because of that label. I'm not ashamed of being called a Christian because I am a Christian and I'm open about that. However, our band doesn't feel like our songs only pertain to Christians both topically and lyrically. And I don't think you have a to be a Christian to understand our songs. If anything, we kinda get a backlash from Christians sometimes because we ask more questions than provide answers. A hallmark of typical Christian music is pretending to have answers. I don't pretend to have answers. I have ideas that I'm open to share about my life experiences and why I'm a Christian and what Jesus means to me because I love to do that, but I'm only interested in doing that if you're interested in doing that. I'm not really interested in making you interested in that. Not all the guys in my band are Christian either. We're super open about that. It is a good question and it comes up a lot. I've seen constantly that people don't want to hear our music because of the Christian label. I think it's a bummer that people are that closed off to music. Honestly, I love music too much. A band could be Satanist and I just want to hear the music. It's unfortunate that some people play that game." [68]
