Jääportit

Jääportit was mentioned on the Vince Neilstein’s Top Fifteen Metal Albums of 2018 at MetalSucks.net:
"The Finnish solo artist first started releasing music in 1997, but this, his fifth full-length, is the first time his work has made its way to me… and I’m so, so glad it did. Jääportit’s music is hardly metal, but there’s a reason heavy music fans have been latching onto it: its dark, moody, atmospheric, instrumental vibes will, as MS scribe Kayla so astutely put it, “sweep you away to a frozen Nordic landscape.”
With a self-titled album one would usually expect some kind of rebirth or definitive statement, and while I can’t say if that’s the case — I sadly haven’t had the chance to explore the back catalogue — I can surmise that there’s a reason this album, of all of them, caught my ear."
