GEM OF THE MONTH: HECATE / SEVEN VEILS OF SILENCE
The first artist to win two Strange Fortune Gems of the Month is, the rather unlikely... Hecate aka Rachael Kozak.
Having already rocked the Strange Fortune offices not long ago with the high energy Ascension Chamber, she's done it once again with the mellow and mysterious Seven Veils of Silence. These richly textured atmospheres could easily be any dark ambient fan's ticket to a new musical world.
Currently in stock for $13 and shipping at www.strangefortune.com, check it out.
