Reise, Reise

This is an album cover to one of my favorite bands, Rammstein. They're a German industrial metal band, so I think that probably plays into the cover of this particular album, Reise, Reise. Although the album is from 2004, I think it looks as though it contains echoes of the Swiss International style. Although nothing looks to be written in Helvetica, the cover is clearly designed on a grid and contains no personal elements that relate to anything the designer might have felt. (As far as I can tell, the words "Flugrekorder nicht offnen" mean something along the lines of "Flight recorder--do not open" in German, and I think it ties into the black box on an airplane or something). The color scheme is more reflective of the Constructivist movement, but the setup (at least to me) is more like Swiss International. It's a pretty interesting cover design; it's eye-catching because it's so simple and the colors are bold. It definitely made me want to pick up the album and look at it!
