Avarrus opens with a descent from a mysterious castle, heading straight toward a grand cosmos and cold starry skies. It marks a turning point in the project’s sound, as stronger rhythms, beats, and drum patterns enter the music for the first time, adding drive and momentum while the frosty essence stays fully intact. It stands as the most luminous and cosmic chapter in the project’s history, a hypnotic pilgrimage through the vastness of dark space.

Avarrus by JääportitReviews and comments
The atmosphere on Avarrus is dreamlike.
TekNoir, Gothtronic
Coupled with the exploratory and filigree-full organ- and synthesizer-work byways to psychedelia are illumed in the frosted darkness.
symbolique, Heathen Harvest
Avarrus is killer — really enjoying it!
The Man Without A Past
This Jääportit disc is full of Kryptonite! Get it and enjoy.

Levy koostuu viidestä pitkästä kappaleesta ja se hengittää ympäröivän maiseman mukana. Siinä on jäätävyyttä, hypnoottista tunnelmaa ja kauneutta.
