DECIBELS STORM'S INTERVIEW WITH THE GREAT KAT SHRED GUITAR GODDESS!
"The high priestess of shred/classical is to metal what Beethoven is to classical music. The Great Kat shows that the extreme guitar can marry well with the classical greats such as Beethoven, Rossini, Wagner."

PRESS REVIEWS:
-"The Great Kat is a Juilliard-trained violin virtuoso who demonstrates the complementary aspects of classical and metal through her over-the-top, dominatrix persona, her self-styled 'shred/classical' genre. With the rarity of her gift and the minority of her gender in this genre, she's been tearing up her fretboard and blistering her fingers for plenty of years. Those who don't hop on the Great Kat express are bound to get run over!" - Amy Sciarretto, AOL Music Noisecreep
-"Move over, Jamie Foxx. The Soloist's insanely genius Juilliard apprentice is up against some formidable competition, and she's female. The Great Kat is basically showing the male competition how it's done, better and faster. Her raging, fast forward in real time Beethoven's Guitar Shred is like nothing that has come before. A mix 'n match medley of Beethoven, Bach, Abu Ghraib and Islamic insurgency. A classical/metal lovers everywhere wakeup call, these mini-musicals for guitar, violin and machete could very well blow your mind." - Prairie Miller, NewsBlaze
-"Blood + Beethoven + metal = Great Kat. Uber-fast metal guitar wiz. She performed Beethoven tunes at top volume covered in blood and shrouded in flames." - Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
