 "A
Clockwork Orange 50th "A Clockwork Orange 50th anniversary
special 12.19.21" By Scheitan, Good Morning METAAAL. "THE GREAT
KAT (USA) 2021 “William Tell Overture”. The great
multi-instrumentalist who gives that shredder touch to classic
works, in this case by Rossini and Beethoven, so present in
Kubrick's work."

Asphyxium Zine’s Review of Great
Kat's "Offenbach, Paganini and Shred Goddess" by Corban Skipwith!
"The Great Kat plays a brutally shredded rendition of Paganini. Pure
talent & guitar mastery, from speed, notes, everything done without
missing a step. It truly is incredible what she’s able to do at such
velocity on the guitar. Just pure guitar finesse and skill the likes
really seen. If you think Thrash Metal guitarists are hardcore? Then
you ain’t seen NOTHING yet! This woman would destroy half of the
Thrash Metal bands without breaking a sweat! It’s absolutely unreal.
If you’re a fan of fast-paced shredding, then this is definitely the
place for you! What a work of art! Definitely go check this track
out! It’s fast, relentless, brutal and unforgiving! Go support her
and all her work! “

Video Review: The Great Kat "Offenbach, Paganini and Shred Goddess"
by Corban Skipwith
Artist: The Great Kat
Location: Manhattan, New York
Country: USA
Genre: Speed/thrash metal
Video: Offenbach, Paganini and Shred Goddess
Release date: October 5, 2021
So, who's in the mood for some unique and interesting? I know I sure
am! And today we have the definition of this with the latest
single/extravaganza 6-minute track by instrumentalist The Great Kat.
An artist I never heard of until the other week and after listening
to this, I don’t think she’ll be easy to forget!
What this is (in a nutshell) is a combination of sounds and styles
to illustrate the sonic diversity of Kat.
At the start, you have classical music rendered with Power Metal
style guitar work, with the opening act ‘Offenbach’ being the
example of the rendering.
There’s also a really cool ‘Wild West’ themed part where she plays
the violin! It’s a trademark sound that you will have heard in your
lifetime and this version is just as good (if not better) than any
other style you’ll hear played!
Then for her second part she plays a brutally shredded rendition of
the composer ‘Niccolo Paganini’.
This part is just pure talent and guitar mastery, from the speed to
the partners, the notes, the delivery everything is equally chaotic
but also done without missing a step. It truly is incredible what
she’s able to do at such velocity on the guitar, definitely the more
intense part of the track so far.
And then for the final act, just pure guitar finesse and skill the
likes really seen.
If you think Thrash Metal guitarists are hardcore? Then you ain’t
seen NOTHING yet! This woman would destroy half of the Thrash Metal
bands without breaking a sweat! It’s absolutely unreal!
If you’re a fan of fast-paced shredding, then this is definitely the
place for you! What a work of art!
Definitely go check this track out, if only for the marvelous art
alone! It’s fast, relentless, brutal and unforgiving! Go support her
and all her work!
Well-deserved and well played! -Corban Skipwith

History's Dumpster Features The Great Kat -
"Worship Me Or Die!" by Larry Waldbillig,
History's Dumpster
https://historysdumpster.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-great-kat-worship-me-or-die.html
"The Great Kat. Worship me Or Die! Some of
the fastest speed metal guitar fretwork I've
ever heard then. Or since. An institutional
grade Cuisinart could not shred speed metal
lead guitar like The Great Kat. I kept
putting the needle back at the beginning of
her guitar solos; What the hell did I just
hear?
The Great Kat (aka Katherine Thomas) is a
Julliard-trained classical musician, which
other than actual demonic influence might
explain her amazing fretboard dexterity. She
played classical music before crossing over
to metal. She plays both violin and guitar.
Her skill getting even more shockingly fast
with each new album. And The Great Kat is
still showing the boys how it's done. This
is her latest, "Shredssissimo" (2021)."
