ATTACK MAGAZINE FEATURES THE GREAT KAT GUITAR GODDESS IN
“THE WOMEN OF ROCK”!
“KATHERINE THOMAS: The Great Kat. The impressive bloody blonde, began as a model student violinist, even giving a concert as a solo violinist at Carnegie Hall. Great passion for the greats among the greats (Wagner, Paganini, Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi …) she realized that classical music was dead (according to her), and discovered speed metal. Her virtuosity on the violin was adapted to the guitar, and today is considered one of the fastest guitarists in the world.” – Alejandra Rivera C., Attack Magazine

“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.’ What she does: Kat’s extreme talent and classical training allows her to create an outrageous persona that supports both her professional message and motivation.” – MintLife
