This time around they are all about ‘Cryptoriana’ which is nice, it’s just nice to see, we are playing a few new songs from the record and right away people are so into it. People loved it, but I think because it was a new lineup people were a bit unsure of how to take it. When we put out ‘Hammer of the Witches’ we didn’t know what to expect. You guys are currently touring behind your new album ‘Cryptoriana’ how have people been responding to the new material? I have tea right now, which is something I don’t drink a great deal of in Canada. But as a vegan, I am limited because of my diet when it comes to traditional food from here.
I’ve picked up on some new words, but that they would actually have to be in the moment to remember what it is to make use of them. Lindsay: I mock Richard’s accent because he is from Derby and it’s like when we have to go to the stage, I’ll say “t’stage” just to make fun of him because I think it’s really funny. Have you picked up any weird customs or habits from the UK this time around? I’ve always wanted to see the UK fully which I’ve now had the chance to. It’s really cool, it’s been like this little adventure. Lindsay: It’s really nice, we were in Oxford yesterday which I thought was absolutely beautiful, I’ve never been to Southampton before, it kind of reminds me of Portsmouth, but I think that’s because we are close to it. So how has it been for you getting to go out and play and see different parts of the UK that you haven’t seen before? This is the first extensive UK tour Cradle of Filth have done in over a decade. The first show was like ripping a band-aid off, it was very difficult because we have Bathory Aria in the set which is 11 minutes long, we call it the 11 minutes of hell, but everyone has taken to it really well and it’s just been a really nice tour, more intimate and the crowds have been great, we’ve been having fun, we’ve been together as this lineup now for almost 4 years, so it’s like a family now, so everything is running smoothly. We have a really good crew and management, we’re trying a new setlist. Really well, we are in a better place these days.
So, the first question I have to ask is the obvious one.
On their most recent UK tour, I was able to sit down with Keyboardist and vocalist Lindsay Schoolcraft to discuss their new album Cryptoriana: The Seductiveness of Decay, touring the UK, the bands lasting appeal, Internet leaks, her thoughts on Kanye West, as well as some other things that she has cooking up outside of Cradle of Filth. It’s hard to imagine that Cradle of Filth has been terrifying the airwaves for nearly 30 years now, but still, it seems harder to imagine what the metal landscape would look like without them as a part of it.
