Dimitri's a guy that's a friend to a lot of people, not least of which are these five progressive black metallers from Olesnica. DMT is the subject matter, and the band does their best to try and emulate the psychedelic properties of said drug. Through spacey and trippy synth work, echoed and affected vocals, and melodic guitar sections, some really great passages of music are showcased here, for instance in the final minutes of "Mandala" or the opening minutes of the title-track. Sometimes the music does fall into the genre's tropes and cliches, though, with numerous instances of redundant tremolo riffing and blast beats occurring throughout the tracklist. This causes the album to clash with itself: on one hand, some really magical metal is on display, and on the other, typical and even boring movements are on hand. Luckily, though, the former outweighs the latter, and while the band could use some fat cut off for later releases, Ufonaut is a good album that fits well into Entropia's discography.
