One of the most anticipated debut albums in Australian hip hop, this is the first full length release from CIECMATE (pronounced CHECKMATE) and NEWSENSE, lynchpins of the Australian hip hop scene, long time collaborators and frontmen of HOSPICE CREW.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness… It was the age of ceaseless toil, it was the age of drunken revelry... They were Heaven bound with lofty ideals, they were hell bound on the devil’s coat tails. In Melbourne sat a King with a large jaw at the helm of independent record label. In Canberra, a whimsical jester oversaw a paint emporium.
It was the year two thousand and nine, and these two disparate souls saw fit to unleash a recorded missive that would not be thwarted by the tyranny of distance.
Forging Broken Tooth Entertainment’s strengths in Melbourne, Ciecmate is the beat-breaking crate digger out to make figures. A rhyme writer, verse rehearser and spitter of raps both personal and abstract, his primary responsibility has been maintaining the label’s lofty standard of product since 2003. He’s also their debt collector, account keeping shot caller, income stream manager and release date coordinator. With A Tale of Two Cities clocking in as their 15th release, BTE is now officially one of Australia most prolific and longstanding hip hop imprints.
Lurking in Canberra, Newsense is the Kamboon Lagoon local, looming through the moonlight, known nationwide as a key draftsman of the town’s hip hop architecture. As the label’s target meeter, meagre earnings shuffler, merch hustler and market research conductor, he’s integral to the duo’s increasingly versatile C.V. The ambitious man on a mission is a venerable veteran of the Australian hip hop fraternity, not afraid to stray from common trends and fashions.
These are just a sample of the attributes on the resumés of the two esteemed MC/producers. Both hailing from Canberra, but with Ciecmate now based in Melbourne, the duo are also the frontmen of hip hop supergroup Hospice Crew, who released Storm Warning and Visiting Hours, and the guys behind the sought after “Speaking As One” 12” which was rated 4/5 by UK’s HHC Magazine. As MCs and producers they have collaborated with the likes of Drapht, Funkoars, Pegz, Layla, Downsyde, Bias B, Clandestien, Jase and Reason, and worked closely with labelmates Tornts, Overproof, Bigfoot, Gargoyle, Maggot Mouf and Billy Bunks.
A Tale of Two Cities finds the two men on the move at large in different cities, but tackling the same dilemmas. “They’re Watching” is an examination of the modern day surveillance state, “Club Meds” explores the complex world of recreational substance use and “Men Still Moving” is a global nomad’s travelogue. Judiciously selected guests include Billy Bunks on “Codename Cougar”, an ode to intergenerational love and Diem on the murky “Labyrinth of Shadows”. Finally, a hard hitting posse cut closes proceedings with Bunks, Swarmy of Overproof and Maggot Mouf warning pretenders to “Run For Cover”.
After six years of dedicating their efforts and time to the label and their extended crew, weathering the pressures of day to day life and pushing the BTE insignia out to the world at large, their original plan has come full circle. Through numerous interstate trips and sleepless studio sessions, Ciecmate and Newsense have crafted an album of diverse, neck-snapping beats and incisive, topical lyricism. The result is A Tale of Two Cities, a long anticipated and richly rewarding work from two of Australia’s hardest working hip hop icons.

|  | TORNTS - Hells Burn - OUT NOW!!! | ciecmate
| 23/01/09 |
Announcing his return on his third album for the notorious Broken Tooth Entertainment label, Melbourne’s original slang bomber Tornts
invites us to “see what occurs when I merge with drums and that nuclear warhead perched on the top of my neck”. This is our
re-introduction to Tornts’ world, where Melbourne is Hells Burn and the thin layers of nicety and sunshine are peeled back to reveal a
murky infrastructure.
Hells Burn is a 17 track epic ride through the bile and villainy of Melbourne’s underside and Tornts’ lyrical arsenal, with songs varying
from imagery ridden tales to fast paced battle tracks and real street stories . His delivery on the mic is more intense and aggravated
than ever, branding his masterpieces into every listener’s mind, while his writing style has become even more refined. As with his
previous work, Hells Burn is entirely produced by Tornts himself, a sonic armageddon of sounds smashed out on the MPC using
twisted samples, drum machines, sound libraries, and evil keyboard sounds from the 1980s.
Debuting with the jagged Adding Insult to Injury in 2003 and following it up with the acclaimed Decimation Recordings in 2006, Tornts
has firmly established himself as one of the greats of real hip hop in Australia, a skilled lone wolf amidst the crowds of weak, generic
pop rhymers. Respected state to state with a hardcore fanbase built from doing shows with Lyrical Commission, Necro, Brad Strut,
Bigfoot, Hospice Crew, Clandestien and 750 Rebels, Tornts is as original and standout a hip hop artist as Australia has yet produced.
Opener “Tornts Is Back” sums up his fire with lines like “I drink then I write like Charles Bukowski, the author / you’re sorta mousey
grovel like a porter”. Tornts’ skill at evoking imagery is at its height on “Rank Tale”, a detailed reminisce of a self-imposed messy night
from the perspective of the nauseous morning after. “Another Day, Another Night” is about what really goes down in the Burn at night:
“Who said pigs can’t fly / look at that chopper with the spotty / scoping fence hopping robbery” while “Final Warning” sees Tornts
smashing out bars like “the world’s bastard alks got me all blasted / stumbling in Tuned Air Max 2008 down Smith St./ iceheads are
twisted Torvill and Deans with schemes up their sleeves”. “Lost Highway” is a nocturnal driving nightmare set on a cold road to hell:
“The median’s a medium muttering / telling me the world and its people might never see me again”.
The churning uptempo “The Extermination” brings the rest of Tornts’ Hired Goons crew to the mic to spit sickness – Billy Bunks,
Gargoyle, Bigfoot and Fletchrock all do their worst. Fellow Hired Goon Diem (formerly known as Rhys of the Hospice Crew) drops
in on the schizo grime sounding track “Pay the Price”, The Goon’s Brisbane blood brothers, 750 Rebels (Lazy Grey, Ken Oath, Jake
Biz, Overproof Pete) pipe up on the menacing “Flies On Ya Corpse” and Lyrical Commission’s official legend Brad Strut is enlisted for
“Keep Dreamin’”.
Accompanied by three street savvy videos directed by Heata (Bias B’s “Move on the Pavement” and Bigfoot’s “Footprints”), Hells Burn
reaches a new high for Tornts, who pushes his intense storytelling acumen and gritty imagery to a new level. When it’s said and done,
Tornts is one of the most skilled rhyme writers with a Molotov like delivery that commands his listeners’ attention. His twisted daily
reports are incomparable – unexpected verbal juxtapositions that paint the most sinister of visuals.
Welcome to Hells Burn.
