Album Notes & Community Reviews
With 'Increase', the veteran German heavy rock outfit Birth Control embraces complex, synthesizer-driven Krautrock while maintaining their aggressive foundation. The shifting lineup resulted in tight, labyrinthine compositions that flirt heavily with jazz-rock fusion elements. The record is driven by muscular drumming and dizzying keyboard interplay, expanding the band's typically straightforward heavy metal approach.
