“Daydreams and Nightmares” — Night Nail Turns Desire Into Damnation in Video for “Vile Train”

Berlin darkwave band Night Nail released “Vile Train,” a gothic rock track previewing their fourth album Infinite Fountain (November 2026, Icy Cold Records). The song explores romantic entrapment through layered synths, bass-driven grooves, and dual vocals that build from menacing noise into an urgent dance arrangement. Frontman Brandon Robert drew initial inspiration from a Pompeii fresco depicting an angel and demon in embrace, developing lyrics that chart how attraction becomes psychological imprisonment. The track was mixed by William Faith at Chicago’s 13 Studio with co-production by the band in Berlin and guest contributions from VV & the Void. Director Jean De Oliviera, who has collaborated with Night Nail before, created the accompanying video. The song positions mutual desire as a trap where fantasy and reality collapse into cyclical longing.
