This is one of Russian bands labeled as fake by the self-proclaimed true, elite Black Metal Brotherhood. I don't know whether Misanthropic Poetry belong to the opposing Satarial (not to be confused with Satarial from Sweden) faction, but they did, in fact, have some rough encounters with the BMB gang.

"Inhaling The Wind..." merely consists of re-released demo material, while the music brings to mind very untechnical, underproduced Marduk. As far as the quality goes, this is rather shabby, although, there are some positive sides. Raw, in-you-face vocals and messy, chaotic drumming transpierce the music with barely contained black energy that leaves a positively violent impression upon you. What kills this whole effort is the horrid guitar work that sounds so weak that you can barely decipher it. If they came up with a better production and found a good guitar player who could write decent riffs, then we'd be going somewhere. Alas, that is not the case here.

I can't see anyone but the most hardcore underground enthusiasts finding any substance in this, and even that is questionable. Better luck next time.
