With September’s last echoes fading and October’s eerie embrace drawing near, the month of ghouls, witches, and spine-tingling tales beckons.
As the veil between worlds grows thin, from the misty realms of horror cinema emerges an unexpected minstrel: Courtney Gains.
This very soul, who once haunted our dreams in “Children of the Corn”, now seeks to serenade us with melodies from the other side. His new magnum opus, ‘Safe Haven,’ is a bewitching concoction of rock and folklore fables, conjured in the midnight hours.
To me, this record is about calling bullshit on some things I think are really fucked up out there!”
‘Safe Haven’ stands not only as a testament to Gains’ musical prowess but as an evocative chronicle of his artistic metamorphosis. Shifting his form from the dread-filled fields of ‘Corn’ to the intimate reverberations of the sound studio, this album reveals a Gains unseen, one that’s both raw and introspective. Through darkly humorous verses, he casts incantations that lay bare the unsettling truths of our times.
As the first chills of Autumn descend, Fake Fangs Records will unfurl these captivating spells to all who dare listen on October 2nd.
The album is also available as a limited-edition, hand-numbered , personally inscribed/autographed deluxe CD. The deluxe edition is limited to 500 copies and only offered through pre-orders. Purchase Safe Haven at www.FakeFangs.com.
Gains comments on the song, titled “Look Out.”
“‘Look Out’ was originally written on acoustic guitar, as are many of my songs. It started with the verse and the line ‘The bigger they come, the harder they fall…’ popped into my head. That lead to the whole lyrical idea of having to throw a boxing fight. When the chorus came, the thought of ‘Look out your gonna hit the wall’ came through and that’s how it all came together. If I get a chance to make a music video it would definitely be very film noir, set in the ’40s and black and white!”

Forged in the shadowy recesses of Gains’ imagination, ‘Safe Haven’ promises an ethereal auditory experience. And while the phantoms of Hollywood might have once been his playground, the dimly lit enclaves of LA’s musical scene too have felt his haunting presence. From mystic alliances with beings like Matt Sorum to the enchanting ‘Journey Man’ that once ensnared the spirits of collegiate souls, Gains’ symphonies echo with otherworldly allure.
Whispers in forbidden tomes speak of an imminent assembly of a rock trio, with Gains at its heart, summoning both bass and lead vocals. The year 2024 holds portents of a duality – a chilling commemoration of the 40th anniversary of “Children of the Corn” and a musical resurrection that promises to be unforgettable.
Beyond this siren’s call of music, Gains’ tapestry of tales spans both the ethereal and the cinematic, with dark classics woven seamlessly with digital phantasms. His recent ventures into the labyrinthine alleys of GTA: Los Santos Drug Wars and the portrayal of the enigmatic Twig in 2023’s spectral drama ‘The Wrath of Becky’ are but glimpses of his vast repertoire.
So, dear souls, as the witching hour looms and the nights grow colder, let the mesmeric harmonies of the inimitable Courtney Gains guide you. In this realm of shadows and sound, he remains a spectral maestro.
