Hotter Side of Metal: Kate Shrapnel


How long have you been modeling?

About 3 years, on and off.

Any notable achievements or moments your proud of in your career so far?

For my modeling career: Decibel ad for HPGD, did promotional modeling for “Infinite Suffering” of Mutant Supremacy, and Weapon tour shirt for 2012 NA/CA tour.

When you’re not modeling, what do you like to do?

Practice the bass or write riffs with my guitarist Deanna, go to shows (of local and of largely accessed, touring bands), book shows at my house and local dive bars, I paint and draw artwork for fliers, and listen to music. Also every wednesday we go to a shitty ally way in the ghetto and play horseshoes but with tires, fireworks, and concrete cylinders.  It’s a sleazy good time.

What are some bands you have been listening to a lot lately?

Besatt, Ashencult, Bethlehem, Tsjuder, Watain, Mortician, Pentagram (Chile), Inquisition, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Yacopsae, Infest.. the usual! I have a diverse taste in metal that doesn’t change much, just cycles.

Most recent concert you’ve attended?

Obscure Grind show: Occult 45, Death to Self, Blood Stained Cross. Before that Exhumed and Goatwhore.

Who are you wanting to see live, but haven’t yet?

Fuckin Motorhead!!!

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

…. ouch…. Carcass “Reek of Putrification” 1988 release and Deicide “Legion” , Just because I feel it might be technical enough to keep me interested for the next 40 years.

Is there a band out there that you simply cannot stand?

As of recent… Liturgy.

Who do you think is the hottest musician?

None of them, it’s the BC Riches they play.

What is a big turn on for you?

Being a badass and not giving a fuck about societal semantics. Someone who can say fuck the world and mean it, I hate people that try to act cool. For the ladies, a prominent ass.

Honestly, favorite position?

From the back.

You’re in a galaxy far far away, what Star Wars character to you shag?

Padmé Amidala, played by Natalie Portman. I’d rock that shit ALLL DAAAYY.  For guys, Han Solo because he’s sassy and has a good jaw line.
