LINDSAY SCHOOLCRAFT RELEASES NEW SINGLE
“I WAIT FOR YOU TO FALL”
Lindsay Schoolcraft returns with a powerful new single “I Wait For You To Fall,” that fuses elements of metalcore, nu metal, and rocktronica into a bold, genre-blending sound. Drawing heavy inspiration from late ’90s and early 2000s trailblazers such as Korn, The Prodigy, and Republica, the track delivers a nostalgic yet modern sonic experience that highlights Schoolcraft’s evolving artistry.
LISTEN TO I WAIT FOR YOU TO FALL HERE
Lindsay Schoolcraft comments on the new single: “With being a child of the 90s, I wanted to bring in a rocktronica influence from such bands as The Prodigy and Republica, but also make sure it had a heavy moment like that of a Korn song. With the help of Rocky Gray bringing the guitar riffs we were able to achieve that.
The lyrics came quite naturally since at the time I had dealt with some betrayal and backstabbing within the industry. I had felt all the other emotions I could about it. So what was left? To be silly about it because it’s so silly that grown adults still behave this way for so little money and power.
Aesthetically we wanted to bring back the elements of what we loved from that timeframe, so the cover art was inspired by Simone Denny’s ‘Love Inc.’
It’s nice for me to be able to step out of my regular dark and mopey persona as an artist and have this one moment to show the world what teenage me was like and still loves to this day with no guilt. If I had the team and talent I did back then this is exactly the type of song I would have made.”
“I Wait For You To Fall” follows the success of her previous release, “Crucified,” which amassed over 105K music video views and surpassed 10K streams within its first week of release this past November. The track also earned placements on prominent playlists and platforms including V13, Exclaim!, CBC, HOWL on Idobi.com, and Metal At Midnight on Stingray.

A JUNO-nominated artist, lead singer/songwriter Lindsay first gained international recognition as the keyboardist and backing vocalist for symphonic metal legends Cradle of Filth (2013–2020). Her contributions helped shape the band’s Hammer of the Witches (2015) and Cryptoriana (2017) albums, released under Nuclear Blast Records. Stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, she released her debut album Martyr on October 11, 2019 via her own label Cyber Proxy Records which went on to be Juno Nominated in 2020. Co-written with Grammy Award winner Rocky Gray (formerly of Evanescence), Martyr blended metal with classical elements and ethereal harp, charting globally and laying the foundation for a devoted fanbase.
Lindsay’s career reflects not only creative fearlessness but also sustained recognition: she was awarded Artist of the Year at the Oshawa Music Awards in both 2021 and 2022, and Producer of the Year in 2023. In 2025, she received Producer of the Year at the DREAMS! Awards (Durham Region Excellence in Arts, Music, and Sounds) for the track “Warn Me,” a B-side from Martyr released to celebrate its fifth anniversary. She also previously shared the stage with Evanescence and Lindsey Stirling on the Toronto stop of their Synthesis tour in 2018.
Beyond her solo work, Lindsay collaborates across a wide spectrum of heavy music. She has contributed vocals and harp to tracks by Motionless in White, Cancer Bats, Myrkur, and more — building a reputation as a versatile, sought-after guest artist.
In 2019, her gothic persona caught the eye of JP Ahonen, creator of the comic-metal band Belzebubs, who modeled the character “Skvllcraft” after her. Lindsay voiced the character on Belzebubs’ debut album Pantheon of the Nightside Gods (Century Media Records), appearing in both the music and animated visuals.
A classically trained harpist, pianist, and vocalist, Lindsay studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), received guidance from established vocal instructors, and briefly attended York University for opera and theory studies. She continues to evolve her craft through ongoing education in music theory, business, and production.
