3ds max 2018.5. The Great Kat is the stage name of Katherine Thomas (born 1966), an English-born, Long Island NY raised, musician best known for her thrash metal interpretations of well-known pieces of classical music. Thomas is in fact a classically-trained violinist, graduating from the Juilliard School and touring for a time playing conventional classical music before crossing over to metal. When Kat founding members Piotr Luczyk and Ireneusz Loth decided to go separate ways, Luczyk and bassist Oset kept the name and recorded the 'Mind Cannibals' LP, while main songwriters Loth and Roman Kostrzewski founded Kat & Roman Kostrzewski, initially as a live only outfit.

THE WHO - DISCOGRAPHY
The discography section is separated by The Who and its solo members. Included in each of those sections, are albums and singles. They are presented in chronological order of their release (i.e. 'My Generation' (1965) precedes 'It's Hard' (1982), followed by country of release, starting with the UK (the band's home), the USA (the band's largest fan base) and then all other countries listed alphabetically. At some point around 1985, Polydor's European manufacturing became centralized in Germany - which explains why most of the European albums thereafter are 'made in Germany'.

THE WHO - DISCOGRAPHY
The discography section is separated by The Who and its solo members. Included in each of those sections, are albums and singles. They are presented in chronological order of their release (i.e. 'My Generation' (1965) precedes 'It's Hard' (1982), followed by country of release, starting with the UK (the band's home), the USA (the band's largest fan base) and then all other countries listed alphabetically. At some point around 1985, Polydor's European manufacturing became centralized in Germany - which explains why most of the European albums thereafter are 'made in Germany'.
The format is a little different for the Who albums (vs. everything else) due to the volume of all the Who records and CDs. The Who albums each have their own pages (reissues and compilations are grouped together) and the solo albums and singles will be grouped together by artist/category. Reissues (LP and CD) will be listed with the original release, not the date of the reissue (unless there is a title change, making it a 'unique' release). In the 'UK-Only' and 'USA-Only' sections, those records are listed in order of actual release date.
Please note that presented below the pictures of the albums, will be any relevant information pertaining to the albums, as well as the sound quality reviews.
Rarities are those tracks, which don't appear on an album that's currently 'in print'. For example, the 1979 live version of 'Dancing In the Street' has only been released on the 1988 'Won't Get Fooled Again' EP (which is long out of print). These rarities will be listed throughout this site and noted with an '(R)' so that they easily stand out.
Included in The Who discography is a 'Related' section. This section includes 'guest appearances' of The Who (or its solo members) on various 'other artist' albums or singles. An example of this might be Pete Townshend's song, 'Join My Gang', which was only 'officially' released on a 1966 UK single by the band, Oscar (who coincidentally is Paul Nicholas, who played 'Cousin Kevin' in the 1975 'Tommy' movie).
About the album sound quality reviews: Sound quality can be very subjective. What sounds good to one person may sound 'less-than-good' to another. Playing music on different equipment can also vary the results. However, if your source is better, your results should be better. These reviews may be qualified by saying they are 'my opinion' and therefore potentially subjective. However, I have developed the resources to adequately compare and give accurate descriptions of the same. Ultimately, you and your own ears are the judge.

Kat is a Polish heavy metal band formed in 1979 in Katowice, Poland.
In Polish 'kat' means executioner. KAT is one of the most important bands in Polish and East European heavy metal overall, and is also mentioned as one of the main precursors of thrash. KAT's most famous album is 'Oddech wymarłych światów' (The Breath of Extinct Worlds), considered an opus of Polish heavy metal.
The band is best known for tracks 'Czas zemsty' (Time of revenge), 'Łza dla cieniów minionych' (A tear for the shadows gone) and 'Wyrocznia' (Oracle).
Band history[edit]
KAT was founded in 1979 by guitarist Piotr Luczyk. Firstly he invited drummer Ireneusz Loth to the band, and shortly after, they were joined by bassist Tomasz Jaguś and another guitarist, Ryszard Pisarski. They played instrumental music influenced by hard rock bands, mainly Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. In 1981, during the first edition of the Silesian Rock festival, the band found a singer, Roman Kostrzewski. The line-up was filled out by guitarist Wojciech Mrowiec and in 1984 KAT released the debut single 'Noce szatana / Ostatni tabor' (Polish for The Nights of Satan / The Last Train). Robert 'Lor' Milewski wrote the lyrics of both songs; since then Kostrzewski became the lyricist, incorporating poetry, Polish folklore, and mysticism. The band performed on toured with Hanoi Rocks.
In 1986 KAT released their debut album, Metal and Hell with a Belgian productions company named Ambush Records with the producer Jos Kloek. A Polish-language version of this full-length was released as a limited album the same year, however, the Polish version of the album was named 666. Soon after, Wojciech Mrowiec was fired from the band. In 1987 KAT performed twice as a support band for Metallica in Katowice's Spodek. This show was documented on KAT's live album 38 Minutes of Life. At that time they also supported Running Wild, Helloween, and Overkill.
A year after the concerts with Metallica, KAT released the next full-length album in 1988, 'Oddech wymarłych światów' (Breath of extinct worlds). After this a conflict stirred up between Luczyk and Kostrzewski, and the band went on hiatus. KAT renewed their activity in 1990 and in 1992 played with TSA and Acid Drinkers at the Jarocin Festival. Two years later, some songs played previously at the Festival appeared along new ones on a new album, Bastard (1992).
In 1994 in Wisła a new album entitled 'Ballady' (Ballads) was compiled and recorded in a Christian Studio - Deo Rocording, which proved to argue against the publics' and journalists' accusations of Satanism. It includes KAT's ballads from previous albums, previously unreleased tracks, and two completely new songs. Józef Skrzek (SBB) was a guest keyboard. In that year, Metal Mind Productions re-released the three first of Kat's albums. Kat sued the company and, after a few years, won the case.
In 1996, KAT released the albums 'Róże miłości najchętniej przyjmują się na grobach' (Roses of love best flourish on graves), following this the conflict between Luczyk and Kostrzewski re-ignited. This conflict was so prominent that it resulted in the following album 'Szydercze zwierciadło' (The Mocking Mirror) being recorded with all band members recording separately without even seeing each other in the studio. After this album, the band stopped its activity. Luczyk focused on other musical projects and Kostrzewski formed a new band Alkatras. Unfortunately, in 1999 Jacek Regulski died in a motorcycle accident. After strong convincing from Slawomir Dziewulski (manager), Luczyk agreed for a joint tour under the name KAT; the finale of this tour was a joint show with Iron Maiden and the release of the album and DVD Somewhere in Poland in 2003.

Straight after the release of Somewhere in Poland, in 2004 the band decided to fire drummer Ireneusz Loth, and singer and lyricist Roman Kostrzewski. Mariusz Prętkiewicz replaced the former drummer; Jarosław Gronowski joined as a second guitarist (he substituted Luczyk during the 'Szydercze zwierciadło' tour, since Luczyk did not want to participate due to bad organisation of the tour ), and Henry Beck became the new singer. The new lineup released Mind Cannibals in 2005.The lineup changes were very controversial, and band's fan base actually split in two, because Roman Kostrzewski and Ireneusz Loth also created their own band, and continue to perform since then, as a cover band.
After recording Mind Cannibals, the band went on tour around Europe (playing together with, Six Feet Under), but did not play in Poland, and later performed on tour with Helloween.
Between 2005 and 2014 KAT went on hiatus, and in 2014 returned with the release of an acoustic album - 'Acoustic - 8 filmow' where Maciej Lipina performed as a guest vocalist, as Henry Beck formed his own band, and Adam Harris Jasinski (who was discovered by Luczyk at a cover festival) played as the new bassist. Finally, the new line-up was formed in 2016, Henry Beck was replaced by Qbek Weigel as vocalist. With the new line-up, KAT signed a worldwide contract with a German productions company Pure Steel Records and released their newest album titled 'Without Looking Back' in April 2019.
