Korpiklaani front man Jonne Järvelä had these comments to make:
“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.”
The band has released the official track listing for all of the associated albums that will be a part of the Manala release:
