It's time to look back to the past discography of the scariest guitar/violin virtuoso Metal vixen in music history, yes, you're not dreaming, is The Great Kat again, this violin graduate from the prestigious Julliard School of Music in New York City. decided to sell her soul to Metal and made a combination of a weird Metal (Death? Grindcore? Speed?) with classical pieces from renowned compositors, all adapted to Metal and exquisitely played on her guitar and violin, no wonder The Great Kat was picked as "the speediest, scariest female shredder of all times" by Spin magazine, and Guitar One magazine recognized The Great Kat as one of the Top Ten fastest guitar shredders of all time, and believe me, trust them on that.

This little album is even shorter than 2002 "Wagner's War" clocking only 6 minutes and displaying just 4 songs no track reaches the 2 minute mark.
Things get started with Rossini's "William Tell Overture" a classic piece excellently performed by the violin & guitar duo of The Great Kat, next is "Sodomize" A relentless speedy piece with foul lyrics, just take a look:

"Lick my ass, you fucking piece of shit
Slime, moron, FAG!
Swallow my vomit, muther fucker!
SODOMIZE HIM!"

p.s. no, is not a typo, it says "muther"

Next is "Castration" and I don't think I need to be explicative with the lyrics this time, the songs sounds like a neoclassical Black Metal song, like Darkthrone meets Yngwie Malmsteem. To wrap up things we have another classical piece , Bazzini's "The Round Of Goblins", watching the big picture, is like the classical pieces sandwich the harsher songs.

If you get this, don't forget to check out booklet pictures of The Great Kat, they're just insane! I wonder when is she going to show us her boobs once it for all. I'll keep waiting Kat
