"THE GREAT KAT'S FEROCIOUS PASSION is unleashed in the service of a divine mission: zapping her ultra-virtuosic, 22nd-century shred classical concept into the synapses of what she calls the 'moron masses.' To accomplish this, the Juilliard-trained violinist and guitar shredder transforms classical masterworks into speed-metal songs, rages like a demented dominatrix, spews blood."

PRESS REVIEWS:
"BEETHOVEN'S GUITAR SHRED" DVD PRESS REVIEWS:
-"She is fast, technical and devilish when she plays and it connects very well to classical music. Great Kat almost makes sparks out of her fingers. The Beethoven's Guitar Shred DVD is her newest product, which features breathtaking tracks. For those who like speed, she bangs!" - Henrique Inglez de Souza, Guitar Player Magazine Brazil
-"The woman that I now believe is a dark superhero sent by the ghosts of composers past in order to make darn sure nobody forgets who they are, by any means necessary, the one, the only, THE GREAT KAT!!!!" - 'Evil' Ian Miller, AV Maniacs
-"The Great Kat named one of the fastest guitar players. Probably the fastest female shredder on the face of the earth. 'Flight Of The Bumble-Bee' at 300 Beats Per Minute. It does not get any faster than that. This ('Beethoven's Guitar Shred' DVD) makes a great stocking stuffer." - Michael Butler, MEVIO Music
-"The Great Kat, who you may know as one of the fastest, fiercest heavy metal guitar shredders in the universe. I popped it in, and was delighted to find some of the greatest heavy metal videos ever made. This lady is hard core. She plays Beethoven's symphonies the way he always intended: incredibly fast and covered in blood." - Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Online
-"Juilliard prodigy The Great Kat. One fireball force of nature. Super formidable shredder. High speed Neo-Classical shred and actual Classical compositions."- Ian Christe, Host, Bloody Roots Show, Sirius XM Liquid Metal
-Ugo.com Names "Bloody Vivaldi" CD #6 In "The Bloodiest Album Covers Of All Time"! "#6 Bloody Vivaldi. The Great Kat is probably the most respected female metal guitarist in the world, with her lightning-fast shredding winning fans wherever she goes. Most of her work is metal reinterpretations of classical pieces, and on the cover of the 1998 EP Bloody Vivaldi, she decided to take the title literally and get drenched in buckets of gore. I approve!" By K. Thor Jensen, Ugo.com
