"The Great Kat, who is the world's fastest guitarist and plays the ultimate shred guitar, is a musical genius! 'Beethoven Shreds', doing Beethoven's 5th Symphony at lightning speed. All of the songs on this CD are played at a speed that only the most accomplished musicians could even hope to keep up with. What The Great Kat does in just a few moments is breathtaking. The speed at which she is able to play, while remaining in control of the music, is both amazing and perplexing. When you speak of 'doing things my way,' think of The Great Kat because that's exactly what she is doing by taking her gift as a classical violinist and transforming it into metal shredding of her violin and guitar in an astoundingly brilliant way. I highly recommend this CD." - Charles A. Smith, The Entertainment Bank

METAL FORCES MAGAZINE'S REVIEW OF THE GREAT KAT'S "WORSHIP ME OR DIE!" CD! "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

"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. With the amount of
talent on show this music can only be appreciated on a concert stage
where it can be enjoyed at its fullest." - Adrian Roberts,

By the age of 10, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a famous "Wunderkind" prodigy composer/performer. He was a contrapuntal genius, extreme virtuoso and prolific composer, who rarely needed to make corrections on his compositions. Mozart died when he was only 35 years old, after being commissioned to compose a Requiem Mass (music for the dead) from a mysterious stranger, which Mozart misinterpreted as a pronouncement of his own death!
