Album Notes & Community Reviews

German progressive hard rockers Birth Control took a surprisingly commercial, dance-oriented pivot with 'Count on Dracula'. The album injects their signature heavy guitar riffs with four-on-the-floor disco beats and funky basslines. While alienating some traditional fans, the record reflects the era's pervasive club-music influence infiltrating the European hard rock scene.
