The acronym stands for \u2018Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway\u2019.  \u2018Out In Oslo\u2019 was produced by Declan Mehrtens of Amyl &amp; the Sniffers, who they&#8217;ve toured with many times, so it&#8217;s no small jump to offer comparisons there but C.O.F.F.I.N are an altogether different proposition for a start the drummer is also the singer, and there&#8217;s no Amy prowling the stage heading this band they leave it to the music to do their talking and boy, have they got something to shout about. I wouldn&#8217;t like to call who&#8217;d win in a bar brawl either, but it would be close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is C.O.F.F.I.N\u2019s fourth studio album and whilst they&#8217;ve barely moved the dial in sound or style, the songwriting might have had some subtle gear shifts and they&#8217;ve introduced different flavours to the delivery for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d hazard a guess that what you see is what you get, and there is zero bullshit in C.O.F.F.I.N, and they certainly walk the walk and give zero fucks along the way &#8211; you either dig it or you move along; there are no half measures. This record kicks off in style after the sleazy intro it&#8217;s counted in, and boom, we&#8217;re off like a bottle rocket. If you want to let someone know exactly what this band is about, it&#8217;s captured in the opening salvo of sonic assault &#8211; three minutes and one second; there it is! Leaving the listener in no doubt what is occurring. Taking no prisoners right from the curtain drop, C.O.F.F.I.N are in the motherfuckin house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C.O.F.F.I.N - Sleep In It (Official Video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M4rs5cfK4sQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Sleep In It&#8217; is off like a boogie Woogie runaway train as Ben Portnoy&nbsp;hits those drums like he&#8217;s got a ten-pound lump hammer in his grip, and the drums are a red-hot anvil, but don&#8217;t be fooled, as the song charges on and the solos rage hard, the backing vocals are shaking things up like prime-time Hanoi Rocks, and I&#8217;m loving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming on a little more restrained, &#8216;Bad Thoughts&#8217; is shifting on a rockin groove towards a gang vocal chorus that&#8217;s all muscle through the throbbing Bass rumble. Damn, what a record this is shaping up to be, and we&#8217;re barely a quarter in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;A Place To Stay&#8217; rages on a thumping solid beat set on a wild, barely in control bass line. Hang on, an acoustic guitar and soulful harmonica? Yup, everybody needs to calm down a little and catch their collective breath, so &#8217;13 Days&#8217; is the perfect palate cleanser before we build up a sweat again. &#8216;Won&#8217;t Let You Down&#8217; has the harmonica honkin&#8217;, and with a second wind blowing through its heads down and lets kick up a shitstorm for a few. &#8216;Fair Enough&#8217; is steaming down the track before we&#8217;re thrown a curveball in the shape of the foot-stompin &#8216;, chest-beating &#8216;Gettin&#8217; Down&#8217; like prime-time Slade, with a guitar solo that just soars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C.O.F.F.I.N - Gettin&#039; Down (Official Video)\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c71uG8mf804?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The penultimate track is the sound of a band confident in the knowledge that they&#8217;ve hit paydirt with this new record. From start to finish, this is an absolute banger, and I&#8217;ve already played it over and over and louder and louder; it just sounds better and better. To close the record off, Ben sounds like a rabid dog who&#8217;s been gargling razors and washing them down with petrol as the song builds and meanders to its conclusion, putting a full stop on proceedings with a middle finger to anyone who&#8217;s listening, leaving the stage in ruins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C.O.F.F.I.N have delivered a beast, with no weak spots anywhere. It&#8217;s one of the finest albums you&#8217;ll hear from any continent on this spinning rock this year for sure.
