-"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." - Michael Broyles, Co-Curator "America's Beethoven Exhibit" at The Ira F. Brilliant Center For Beethoven Studies

 
"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." Total Guitar Magazine
 
"Female shredder The Great Kat, who actually began life as a Juilliard Music School violin prodigy and then discovered heavy metal guitar." - Ian Christe, Sirius XM Liquid Metal
 
"Kat is truly one of the fastest and most over-the-top guitarists in the history of metal, and that can't be disputed. " Bob Smith, Good Times Magazine
 
"The Great Kat can totally shred.  In fact, she's so scary fast on guitar and violin, that once you retrieve your ego from the gutter, you almost have to laugh." Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine
