"Transylvania" is a well known instrumental piece by the band Iron Maiden, which was composed by founder and bassist Steve Harris while he was with his previous band Smiler.
The song appears as the fifth track on the original U.S. & U.K. releases of their debut album Iron Maiden and as the sixth track of the remastered release of the same album.
Steve came up with the basic idea of the song while walking home from a local club called the Cart & Horses. He presented the song to his band at the time, Smiler, but everyone in Smiler found most of his songs too complicated, and refused to play them.
When he formed Iron Maiden "Transylvania" became a regularly played song during The Early Days.
