Band of the day: Transylvania (USA)

Transylvania is a heavy metal band hailing from Springfield, Missouri, USA. Formed in 2014, the group has carved a niche in the metal underground with their immersive blend of horror, war, dystopia, and science fiction themes—each track telling a story that feels both cinematic and intense.

Drawing on the raw power of classic heavy metal while embracing modern storytelling, Transylvania channels a sound that is as haunting as it is aggressive. Their discography includes two EPs—Transylvania (2016) and II (2019)—as well as recent singles 322 and Black Dawn (both released in 2024). The band is set to unleash their first full-length album, Windrider, later in 2024.

Fully independent and unsigned, Transylvania continues to build momentum through grassroots support, captivating live performances, and a loyal fanbase. Whether exploring the grim realities of war or diving into dystopian fantasies, their music resonates with those who crave substance and storytelling in their metal.
