-“No one in heavy metal has exploited Beethoven to the extent of Katherine Thomas, known as ‘The Great Kat.’ She does not just play Beethoven. If you believe her, she is Beethoven reincarnated. Loud, blistering fast guitar riffs accompanied by screams, and an aggressive hyper-dominatrix persona. Her virtuosity is for real. Over-the-top stage persona. This is a frontal assault.” – “Beethoven in America” Book
