In time for the release of 'Skyforger' next month, both the bandВґs MySpace profile and the regular homepage will appear in a new look. As a new feature, the latter will include a collection of Amorphis-related artwork - paintings, tattoos, tribute video clips, poetry... - created by fans. Your contributions are welcome!

Please e-mail your images etc. to the website contact address found at the bottom of the Contacts page, or post them in the Artwork thread of the Amorphis forum. Thank you!

Let us remind you that in the booklet of Amorphis' previous albumВ 'Silent Waters' we could read that the new Amorphis logo has been designed by a girl with a very Bulgarian sounding name - Viara Gentchev... We tracked her on the Internet back then and found out she's based in Finland doing design and artwork stuff, as well as DJ-ing in clubs.

"How did the whole thing happen?" we asked Amorphis' leaderВ Esa Holopainen.

"Our bass player Niclas Etelavuori knows her very well. They're close friends and... I think he met her a year or two ago and she told him about her art study. She tried drawing a new Amorphis logo and it became pretty nice. It also fit the artwork for our new album very well."

Now, it's your turn!
