5 Details Behind Amon Düül II’s Yeti Album Cover

The cover was designed by the band’s organist, Falk Rogner. He created it as a collage.

The Grim Reaper figure is made from a photograph of band member Wolfgang Krischke. Rogner cut and arranged the photo to form the reaper’s shape.

The design is a literal visual pun on the album title “Yeti.” The reaper represents death, but the image is constructed from a living band member.

The collage technique gives the cover a handmade, surreal look. It fits the band’s experimental psychedelic sound.

The cover avoids typical fantasy or monster imagery for a death figure. Instead, it uses a clever, self-referential band photo trick.
