Indeed, the balance between Schoolcraft’s background in extreme music and Gray’s work in a Grammy Award winning band presents an album with something for everyone.” - Rodey Tsapralis, alternativecontrolct.com “Lindsay manages to both add plenty of her own ideas and keep these similarities superficial and subtle enough to steer well clear from becoming a clone of one of these bands thus rendering her music genuine Schoolcraft material. There’s no two ways about this–Martyr is a complete, very convincing, very strong debut. It has it all: power, pain, pleasure and rage, all of course within the perspective of the genre. – Henric van Essen, Dutch Metal Maniac “She is clearly making the music she loves without any regard for trends or fads, and that has to be a good thing. The result being a win for anyone interested in the Gothic side of rock and metal. Well worth the investment!” – Ferry Templeton, Sentinel Daily “Schoolcraft has a promising solo career ahead of her indeed. As debut records go, this is a knockout.” - Jordan McEvoy, Puregrainaudio.com MANAGEMENT [email protected] 1-905-924-4756 Biography Lindsay Schoolcraft is a Juno Nominated, Ethereal Gothic-Rock Solo Artist from the small city of Oshawa, Canada. As a Singer, Harpist, and Pianist she composes music inspired by her life experiences and the music that has heavily influenced her over the decades. Since 2010 she has released multiple Singles and EPs and in 2019 she released her debut full length album “Martyr” which was a co-written by Rock Gray (Original Evanescence Drummer). “Martyr”, featuring Rocky Gray on guitars and drums, is an album that combines Lindsay and Rocky’s love of nostalgic Gothic Rock and Symphonic Film Scores. Orchestrated by Spencer Creaghan and harsh vocals by Xenoyr of Ne Obliviscaris on the track “See The Light’, this album’s dynamic has something to offer Symphonic and Gothic metal fans alike. Thanks to Producer and Sound Engineer Tyler Williams this album was made possible at Monolithic Productions in Oshawa, Canada. “Martyr” has been released under Cyber Proxy Independent, a home-grown Record Label where Lindsay plans to release all her future music. “Martyr” has been recognized and nominated by The Juno Awards as Heavy/Hard Sound Album of the Year for 2020. Ms. Schoolcraft has received her musical education from established vocal instructors, the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), and briefly at York University for Opera and Theory studies. She continues today to study in the fields of business, musical theory, and harp performance. While her main focus remains composing for her projects and making guest appearances, on occasion she coaches select vocal students or tours with her electric harp when requested. From 2013-2020 Lindsay was the live Keyboardist and Backing Vocalist for British Extreme Gothic Heavy Metal band Cradle of Filth. In 2014 she was recognized as a full-time member and appeared on the albums “Hammer of The Witches” (2015) and “Cryptoriana: The Seductiveness of Decay” (2017) both released under Nuclear Blast Records. “I’m so proud and deeply honoured that I got to be part of Cradle of Filth’s legacy for the time I was present.” MANAGEMENT [email protected] 1-905-924-4756 Track List 1.
