Commented KORPIKLAANI vocalist Jonne Järvelä: “On the album cover, our band mascot Vaari represents Väinämöinen, who is one of the main characters in the Finnish national epic ‘Kalevala’.
“As most of the lyrics on ‘Manala’ are based on the ‘Kalevala’, Jan Yrlund decided to draw his inspiration for the cover artwork from the beautiful but yet brutal depiction of the underworld in Finnish mythology.”
