"BEETHOVEN SHREDS" CD!
 
"The Great Kat (Beethoven Shreds) includes a short arrangement of the tune [Beethoven Symphony No 5] at a breakneck tempo, infused with shred heroics and speed-metal accompaniment. The Great Kat's shred histrionics take Beethoven's Fifth to a whole new level...Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3. The Great Kat provides 100 seconds of utterly mad shred guitar with multiple lead parts weaving in and out of each other, all played at lightning pace." - Total Guitar Magazine
 
"No one has exploited Beethoven to the extent that Katherine Thomas, known as The Great Kat, has. She does not just play Beethoven: she considers herself Beethoven reincarnated. In a male-dominated field, heavy metal, she is virtuosic, transgressive, and aggressive. The Great Kat, Beethoven Shreds CD." - Michael Broyles, Co-Curator "America's Beethoven Exhibit" at The Ira F. Brilliant Center For Beethoven Studies

Press Reviews:

-"The Great Kat. This woman is the world's fastest female guitarist. She is a graduate of the Juilliard School, so you know she has cred. She's a violin virtuoso and the world’s fastest guitar shredder. Her new ‘Beethoven Shreds’ CD showcases Classical music shredded on the guitar and violin, we’re talking Beethoven, Bach, Paganini. ‘Flight of the Bumble-Bee’. That’s cool!" - ABC-TV's Take Five & Company TV Show

-"The Great Kat, whose 34 videos have collectively received over one million hits on YouTube, has released her eleventh album. Appropriately titled 'Beethoven Shreds,' a speed demon version of five revered classical tracks served up Great Kat style on guitar. Combining her love of all things metal with her knowledge of classical music, the album is a whirlwind look at Beethoven gone metal. Lacing virtuosity with speed." - Phyllis Pollack, Rock Music Examiner, Examiner.com
 
-"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
 
"'Beethoven Shreds'. 2011 HEAVY METAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR. All songs on this metal class/metal masterpiece, are speed-thrash-shredder-headbanger classics. Top 10 metal release for 2011, being in the top spot. The Great Kat is peerless, unique, one-of-a-kind, and untouchable for world’s greatest heavy metal guitar hero’s. A true asset to the true metal community. Beethoven’s '5th Symphony' is a total metal thrasher with The Great Kat’s GOD LIKE, metal guitar virtuosity. World Class guitar hero. # 1 FASTEST SHREDDERS IN METAL OF ALL TIME. # 1 FASTEST GUITARIST OF ALL TIME." - Ron Mabe, KickAssMetal
 
-"The Great Kat. 'Beethoven Shreds' which includes speed demon versions of five renowned classical compositions, lacing these masterpieces with the fuel and fury of metal. Combining classical content with thrash ferocity one of Kat’s signature pieces is Flight of Bumble Bee performed at over 300bpm. This storm of speed on both guitar and violin strings plays bafflingly fast, Kat effectively crashes together two opposing musical forces with all the gusto that shines through in her intimidating performances." - James Paterson, Necromag
 
-"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, Morning Star (U.K.)
 
-"Beethoven Shreds" CD Named "25 FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2011" & "MOST PLAYED ALBUMS OF 2011" - Black Night Meditations, WSCA 106.1 FM Radio

-"The Great Kat shows off unique talents on Beethoven Shreds. YouTube sensation The Great Kat has become known for her heavy metal take on classical music and her shredding skills on the guitar have captivated audiences across the world. She has now recorded her unique talents on disc for Beethoven Shreds, showing listeners exactly why she is the world's fastest guitar shredder." - WENN - The Celebrity World Entertainment News Network

-"Kat forces these melodies through a black hole and back out again through in a white-hot stream of incredibly fine sound particles that ascend and descend so quickly and accurately that one could debate whether the interpretations are a performance or a weapon. For those who have thus far enjoyed the carnival ride of Beethoven Shreds should have no problem putting Kat's statue alongside the greats." - Houston Press

-"Kat is truly one of the fastest and most over-the-top guitarists in the history of metal, and that can't be disputed." - Good Times Magazine

-"This is definitely my favorite classical speed metal record of the year." - IGN

"She does not skimp on technique and shouts to challenge the speed on the guitar, she is The Great Kat, who reinvents the great scores. She executes pieces like 'The Fifth Symphony' or Bach's 'Brandenburg Concerto' at the maximum speed on guitar and violin, with a crushing and powerful technique." - Milenio (Mexico)

"The Great Kat performs furious, magnificent shreds of Beethoven's classics on both the violin and the electric guitar (often with orchestra & band) in this exciting masterpiece, encouraging all generations of music lovers to experience Beethoven in a whole new way. Highly recommended!" - The Midwest Book Review
