Transylvania

Transylvania is a heavy metal band from Springfield, Missouri, formed in 2014, with deep roots in the local music scene. Drawing musical inspiration from the new wave of British heavy metal, especially bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Thin Lizzy, Transylvania has built a reputation for blending classic metal influences with their own original sound. The band members have a long history of playing together in various projects, with some connections dating back over two decades, which helped them develop strong chemistry. They initially started as an Iron Maiden tribute band before evolving into a unique outfit with a growing catalog, including releases such as "Windrider," "II," "Black Dawn," and a self-titled album "Transylvania." Over their first decade, they have played notable gigs including the Legions of Metal festival in Chicago in 2018, reflecting their active presence in the metal community.
