The self-titled album works as a closing of the circle and the dawn of a new era. It weaves a more modern electronic production, with the rhythms and beats carried forward from the previous albums, together with the freezing atmosphere of the project’s earliest days. The result is mature and cinematic, pulling the listener deep into the coldest, most beautiful recesses of the inner soul.

Reviews and comments
“Finnish solo artist Jääportit has been bringing us meticulously crafted atmospheric music since 1997. His fifth full-length album, which is self-titled, may not be brutal or in your face, but it sure as hell will freeze your tits off.”
KAYLA, Metalsucks.net
“Vokaaleja, tai oikeammin laulettuja sanoja, ei kuulla, eikä niitä myöskään kaivata. Tunnelmat ja tunteet välittyvät kyllä muutenkin, enkä voi kuin ihailla Mäkelän kykyä löytää kulloiseenkin tilanteeseen juuri sopivinta soundia, ratkaisua ja äänikuvaa.”
