Wykked Wytch

The name Wykked Wytch might conjure up images of a glam band or perhaps power metal, but in fact Wykked Wytch is a black metal band hailing from Florida of all places. Fronted by charismatic female vocalist Ipek (who also pretty much runs the show, given the many lineup changes surrounding her over the years), the band has toiled for a few years, managing two albums since 1996. Musically, many point to early Cradle Of Filth as a comparison, and at least vocally, it's an apt comparison, since Ipek's unholy shrieking does at times sound like Dani Davey. Overall, though, it's a more low-budget, simplistic version of COF here, Wykked Wytch not yet showing the depth in songwriting of Dani and crew. Though not yet in the upper echelon of black metal bands, fans of genre may still find something of interest here, and perhaps the band's third album (Nefret, released in the spring of 2004) will build on the foundation layed out thus far.
