Horseshit on nearly every sense of the term. Based in Philadelphia, Wykked Wytch are an American music ensemble who merge an extreme metal sound with symphonic elements resting upon a Gothic character. This in and of itself isn't the problem seeing how I can personally stomach these acts depending on how well the formula is executed, but as one comes to a certain realization during Memories of a Dying Whore, it grows apparent that what's being showcased is monotonous and incredibly unappealing. The compositions themselves tend to drag after a while and the musicianship is lacking in color, though the instrumental sections end up sounding tolerable compared to frontwoman Ipek Warnock's vocal performance in general; her contributions are essentially horrific - and not in the good way. Her forced deliveries and dull presence spoil what could've been an okay (albeit forgettable) record. YMMV, of course, but Wykked Wytch's fourth studio album is dangerously close to irredeemable status.
