The Great Kat

Wagner’s War
by Scott Hefflon

Man, ya gotta love The Great Kat. An absolute demoness shredder on both guitar and violin, plus screaming vox, blood-drenched and bursting-boobie photos. As “uncool” as it is, imagine Yngwie virtuosity, Cradle of Filth madness, and Troma-style gore campiness. Yeah, it becomes cool cuz it’s so freakin’ nuts.

The bios are always filled with exclamation points, the mixture of heart-racing classical war anthems (think “Kill the Wabbit”) mixed with “kick ’em in the face” post-9/11 anger (this record’s theme), and just cuz the songs end abruptly and this seven-song EP is a mere 11 minutes, The Great Kat is a musical oddity you’d better know and respect, or she’ll stomp your face in!
