“AMERICA’S BEETHOVEN EXHIBIT” AT IRA F. BRILLIANT CENTER FOR BEETHOVEN STUDIES FEATURES THE GREAT KAT’S “BEETHOVEN SHREDS” CD
“The Great Kat considers herself Beethoven reincarnated. In a male-dominated field, heavy metal, she is virtuosic, transgressive, and aggressive,” – Michael Broyles, Co-Curator
NY, NY, July 16, 2012 – The Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies’ new “AMERICA’S BEETHOVEN EXHIBIT” features The Great Kat, World’s Fastest Guitar Shredder/Juilliard grad violin virtuoso’s new Shred/Classical “BEETHOVEN SHREDS” CD, see for info: http://www.sjsu.edu/beethoven/exhibitions/americasbeethoven/popularmusic.html.
Located in San Jose State University, San Jose, California, the “AMERICA’S BEETHOVEN EXHIBIT” explores Beethoven’s arrival in America and his continuing presence in American culture. The “Beethoven in Popular Music” section of the exhibit features works from The Great Kat, including “Beethoven on Speed” (CD), “Beethoven Mosh” (music video), and “Beethoven Shreds” (CD). The Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies’ curators include Michael Broyles (also author of “Beethoven in America” Book featuring The Great Kat), William Meredith, and Patricia Stroh.
“No one has exploited Beethoven to the extent that Katherine Thomas, known as The Great Kat, has. She does not just play Beethoven: she considers herself Beethoven reincarnated. In a male-dominated field, heavy metal, she is virtuosic, transgressive, and aggressive,” said Michael Broyles, Co-Curator “America’s Beethoven Exhibit.”

-“‘Beethoven Shreds,’ a speed demon version of five revered classical tracks served up Great Kat style on guitar. Combining her love of all things metal with her knowledge of classical music, the album is a whirlwind look at Beethoven gone metal. Lacing virtuosity with speed.” – Examiner.com
-” The Great Kat is a larger than life Juilliard trained classical violinist turned guitar shredder. She takes her knowledge of the great works of Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart and processes them through a heavy metal music filter to ‘single-handedly resurrect classical music.'” – MintLife

“Beethoven Shreds. The Great Kat is a speed metal guitarist who has now applied her unique talent to Beethoven. The huge shreds displayed on this album will not disappoint fans of the genre. Not only is Kat a great guitarist, she’s a classical violinist to boot. Tracks like Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony or Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto show this off to great effect with riffs that will blow you away.” – Morning Star (U.K.)
“Yeah! Banging my head to that! Let’s meet the shredder behind this and a whole lot classical inspired guitar histrionics, including the new album ‘Beethoven Shreds’ – THE GREAT KAT!” – L.A.‘s Morning News – News Talk 980
“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. Loud, blistering fast guitar riffs accompanied by screams, and an aggressive hyper-dominatrix persona. Her act is not subtle. She is direct and flamboyant about her intentions. Her virtuosity is for real. Over-the-top stage persona. This is a frontal assault.” – “Beethoven in America” Book (Indiana University Press)

METAL FORCES MAGAZINE’S REVIEW OF THE GREAT KAT’S CLASSIC “WORSHIP ME OR DIE!” CD!
http://www.metalforcesmagazine.com/site/album-review-kat-worship-me-or-die/
“Musically the album has a lot of high points and Kat certainly shows plenty of ability on the fretboard and shows her virtuosity with a frenzied violin solo on ‘Demons’. Best cuts (musically) are probably the anthemic ‘Metal Messiah’ and the out’n’out thrash of ‘Satan Says’. The strong riffing ‘Ashes To Dust’ is also worth a mention and so too is the excellent production. If you like thrash with commercial appeal then Worship Me Or Die! is worth investigation.”
– Bernard Doe, Metal Forces Magazine

“WORSHIP ME OR DIE! is a absolute must hear for Speed Metal fans.” – Metal Hammer (Germany)
“The Great Kat. The High Priestess of Guitar Shred. She can play ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at 300 beats per minute! Her followers (the ‘Kat slaves’) think she’s just the soldier America needs. Ranked among ‘The Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time.’ Totally spoiling her crazy-lady rep: She studied classical violin at Juilliard.” – New York Magazine
“More female chauvinist than feminist, Kat is best described as a 21st century Janis Joplin who breaks out of the conventionally assigned gender role limitations of acceptable female behavior, creatively and otherwise, to give the historically male dominated music scene a woman’s energy and edge.” – Critical Women On Film Journal – The Women Film Critics Circle
