9 Scariest Songs You've Never Heard
8. My Chemical Romance Vampires Will Never Hurt You
Despite the fact that My Chemical Romance are widely known for their more commercial forays including singles like I'm Not Okay (I Promise), Welcome To The Black Parade and Sing, the band's debut record was much more raw than you might initially assume.
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love which was released in 2002 housed a huge collection of unnerving, post-hardcore tunes. None are quite as unsettling, however, as Vampires Will Never Hurt You, which sees Way's vocals take on an aggression unparalleled by the rest of the band's music. It's interesting to note that Way was actually suffering from a dental abscess during the recording of the record, meaning that the emotion in his voice often stems from real pain.
From the strained passion in Way's vocals to its convincing anguish, the song is frequently troubling stuff. Coupled with brooding, horror-inspired lyrics and an ever-present whispering, Vampires Will Never Hurt You is a song that once you hear you won't soon forget.
