REVIEWS

“The harp is her first love and on Worlds Away it shows. This is a wonderfully crafted record that transports you to a kind of ethereal heaven. You can just sit back and let each song wash over you, and relax. It’s often been said that classical and heavy music are bound together like unorthodox siblings. With Worlds Away Schoolcraft proves the point as the binding between the two. This is an album that has timeless classic written all over it.” – Gary Trueman, Devolutionmagazine.co.uk

“Worlds Away will only do more to ensure that a wide audience of music lovers will put Lindsay Schoolcraft on a pedestal. At home in many markets!” – Ralf W., Whiteroomreviews.nl

“Lindsay Schoolcraft is making no pretense, finding something transcendent and capturing the imagination with music that speaks from the soul. These songs on Worlds Away are intensely personal, often telling stories about her own life. It's easy to feel her raw emotion and see the pain she is seeking to share with this powerful offering.” – Matt Bacon, twoguysmetalreviews.com

“Schoolcraft has a promising solo career ahead of her indeed. As debut records go, this is a knockout.” - Jordan McEvoy, Puregrainaudio.com

“A worthy album for fans of clean vocals and goth rock with a slight metal edge and neo-classic orchestral undertone. Martyr carries the story of the album through a flux of highs and lows creating an intense musical journey telling a tale of love, heartbreak, loss and the journey to coming back to the self.” – Misty Shadows, The Rock Pit Australia

“It’s impressive how Lindsay can sound so gentle and dark at the same time. She’s like a darker version of Enya, mainly due to the gorgeous way Lindsay declaims the song’s touching lyrics. Rocky brings heaviness to the musicality with his riffs and beats. It is perfect for soothing your soul on a cold and dark night, showing how much Lindsay loves this variation of Gothic Rock.” – Gustavo Scuderi, Head Banging Moose

“I must admit her version for The Cure’s dark classic “Lullaby” is beyond hypnotizing and I’m sure Robert Smith is proud of Lindsay not only for the amazing job she does on the piano, but especially by the way she declaims the song’s wicked lyrics with so much feeling.” - Gustavo Scuderi, Head Banging Moose

“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

“Lindsay Schoolcraft is incisive, slicing your skin off inch by inch with her talon sharp words to reveal a creature that is damaged, disheveled, and unfinished with all the trials of life. She offers comfort in copious amounts, without being judgemental.” – Azra Pathan, OriginalRock.net

“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

“See The Light’ does the old switcheroo, delivering more metal-inspired instrumentation, with the general tone of the track being reinforced by the death growls of Xenoyr (Ne Obliviscaris), the contrast here adding depth of character, allowing for some appreciated diversity.” – Gavin Griffiths, Astral Noize

“Martyr, The self-released album, co-written by former Evanescence drummer Rocky Gray, sews epic seeds in a Gothic garden. 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
