Lindsay Schoolcraft Details New Album ‘Harrowing’

Hauntingly poetic and fiercely independent, Lindsay Schoolcraft returns from the shadows with an announcement of a new album, Harrowing, out June 19th. Thanks to Motionless in White producer Justin deBlieck co-piloting this time around in the studio, it shines with a more metallic edge than previous records.

The band’s third full-length studio album is a searing chronicle of survival, rebirth, and healing from the severity of narcissistic abuse. Known for weaving elements of Nu Metal, Metalcore, and Rocktronica, while still including the classical elements of strings and choirs, this record offers a variety of sounds as you move from song to song, but Lindsay’s voice anchors as the centre piece that keeps the listener’s journey consistent.

Thematically, Harrowing is both a sonic exorcism and a spiritual reckoning. Each of the album’s seven tracks represents a chapter in the survival and healing process: from awareness and sorrow to anger, revenge, hope, and ultimately, letting go. The lead single, “Crucified,” is a powerful anthem for survivors — steeped in religious metaphor, righteous fury, and brutally candid lyricism. The artwork, based on Alphonse Mucha’s L’Illustration (Noël 1897), reinforces the album’s dual themes of death and rebirth.

Collaborators include guest harsh vocalist Krista Shipperbottom on the track “So Alive,” Rocky Gray (former Evanescence) and Spencer Creaghan (Canadian media megastar) return again as composers, along with Brian Cook. Lindsay’s own band members, guitarist Cody Johnstone and drummer Dylan Gowan, also contributed greatly in shaping these songs and helping complete them.

With Harrowing, Lindsay Schoolcraft invites listeners into her most personal work yet — a journey through pain, resilience, and, ultimately, freedom.

Alongside the announcement, Lindsay Schoolcraft releases a new ‘pop-up’ style music video to coincide with the recently released 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.
