The frontwitch claims she's been a metal fan forever and always wanted to form a spiritual metal band while all that other stuff she did was just for financial reasons. I am not really buying that, but everybody has to decide for themselves.
BUT- there is just something about that album that keeps casting spells on me. I've been listening to Spell Eater a lot and there is something that I can't quite explain. Is it the slight Mercyful Fate vibe, the subtle black metal quotes, Jill's erratic voice that oscillates between nerve-racking shrieks and honeyed tones? I just don't know.
All I know is that I don't really want to like this album but somehow I can't help but do.
