  • Amon Düül II (or Amon Düül 2) is a German rock band. The group is generally considered to be one of the founders of the German rock music scene and a seminal influence on the development of Krautrock. Founding members are Chris Karrer, Peter Leopold, Falk Rogner, John Weinzierl and Renate Knaup. Their first album Phallus Dei (God's Penis), released in 1969, is considered a milestone in German rock history. They received offers to write music for films, winning a German film award, the Deutscher Filmpreis, for their contribution to the film San Domingo. Their second album Yeti was their breakthrough album in the United Kingdom. In 1975, they signed with Atlantic Records, and disbanded in 1981. Amon Düül II's drummer Peter Leopold died on 8 November, 2006. A memorial service was held for Leopold in Munich, where the remaining members of Amon Düül II sang a song for him. Leopold was replaced by multi-instrumentalist Daniel Fichelscher, for many years guitarist and drummer of Krautrock group Popol Vuh. Fichelscher isn't new to the group, and in fact has had a long affiliation with Amon Düül II, having played with them as early as 1972 in Carnival in Babylon.
  • Amon Düül II es un grupo de rock alemán. La primera versión de Amon Düül II tomó su forma a mediados de 1967 como un grupo de músicos avant garde de orientación política, cuyas directrices fueron experimentar con drogas, música y política. A este colectivo musical se unió después Chris Karrer (guitarra), quien escogió enfocarse más a la música. Se unieron a la banda John Weinzierl (guitarra, bajo) y Peter Leopold (batería), ambos provenientes de Amon Düül, incluyendo luego a Renate Knaup (voz), Falk Rogner (órgano, sinttetizaador) y Dave Anderson (bajo). Esta alineación formó el núcleo de Amon Düül II durante la mayor parte de principios de los años 1970.
