Incredibly detailed scientific studies. And my own opinion. Mostly my own opinion. Okay, entirely my own opinion. No, i&#8217;m not contemplating doing a vampire based album (although many years ago when i was a wee whippersnapper i wrote several tracks for one,\u00a0 based on Cain becoming a vampire after meeting Lilith, but alas, that project has been long lost to time), mostly because vampires have been really REALLY played out. But they&#8217;ll be back. They&#8217;re too awesome to ever go away, we just all need a collective break from them for awhile. And yet, here is a list. I would note, the song actually has to be about Vampires, not just contain the word Vampire in them.<\/p>\n<p>10.
