Short after their debut album Weiß Der Teufel their second and for over 20 years last album Phallobst was released in the end of 1971. With a second guitarist Thomas Kittel (g, clav) and Manfred Spangenberg as the new bassist, Rufus Zuphall played a more varied progressive rock. Now heavier in the louder passages, more lyrical in the quieter ones the songs were now much more tightly structured. It is a versatile album, powerfully produced and virtuosically played with a mixture of hard, folk and blues rock. Instrumental numbers (the German tracks) alternate with songs sung in English.
Together with the renowned producer Dieter Dierks, they recorded it in June of the same year in just a few days in his studio in Stommeln, albeit with many problems. Disputes with the management and the record company about musical details and versions made further collaboration difficult. As a result, the promotion of the album by the record company was zero. In the summer of 1972, the band broke up. Released on the legendary BASF sub-label Pilz, it is now a coveted collector's item.
