Vampire en pyjama is the eighth studio album by Dionysos, and was released on 29 January 2016, two days after Mathias Malzieu's novel, Journal d'un vampire en pyjama. The album was intended to be more acoustic than those before it and the lyrics are more personal. A mascote accompanies this album : a man with a heart for a head, Heartman, frequently drawn by the band and its fans in the streets of their own towns.
