Summon: What kind of music do you play?
Virghon: Black Death metal old school; others say we play old school Death trash. Particularly like to say we played Black Death Metal Traditional. But, I confess, the new album will be something totally different from what we see you doing so far.
Summon: How has the fan response been?
Virghon: The new album has been highly acclaimed, we are being recognized in the four corners of the world. Unfortunately our record company and distributor of Peruvian origin (Latin America) today, and look what will be a year of official announcement by the physical release of our CD label did not give us a physical CD in original format as agreed until the moment answer this interview. The new scenario for the internet helps to internationalize our work. This is the only tool we have in the moment.
Summon: Where did the band name come from? Introduce the band members and what they do in the band.
Virghon: The band’s name comes from philosophical origin, we were all students (including myself still am) of Philosophy. So Introspection was a way to defragment the next life with the name of famous philosophers like Socrates sentences: “I only know that I know nothing.” OR Descartes: “If I think therefore I am”. Anyway, that was the intention of the title of the band. The current lineup consists of Virghon – Bass / Vocals; Dy Dyo Barros Borges – Drums and guitars……….
Summon: Who writes the music? Lyrics?
Virghon: Me, Virghon. On the new album we did a merge of riffs between me and the guitarist Dyo Barros. But generally, I am.
Summon: And where do the lyric ideas come from?
Virghon: Honestly, on our first demo we endeared suicide, pessimism, nihilism. Today we make a double critique of Christianity which firstly attacks the ethical side, moral, and other evaluative criticizes capitalism, and the search for political, economic or ideological power. What I believe is the foundation of religion.
Summon: What is your view in Satanism and Occultism?
Virghon: I think Satanism is a big contradiction. I have not much to say about it, see it as something contradictory, just that. Moreover Occultism has several meanings, several sheds, a huge range of variations. Speaking for myself, I prefer a good philosophy that drives us to not only understand, but to change the world. I would like to say a few more things: Satanism, Christianity, Fascism, Nazism, racism, xenophobia, and currently more evidence in the media Israeli Zionism are all pitiful and miseráreis ideologies, fruits of a decaying world and corrupted by capitalist ideology society model, alienating and mediocre as is the current world.

Summon: Tell me about some the songs on the latest CD?
Virghon: I think between eight songs five special songs. Human Emancipation; Domination of Death; Lords of fate; Eternal Return and Form fetishized. Speak that are special in the sense of composition, listening, feel the music and you’ll know what I’m talking about. The formation of this current album had no live presentation. Just did, lyrics had excellent support these session musicians. Support in music, technical terms. And this was the result. I am evaluating a good result. We have two shows in these next two months. The training will be the third demo. In our first presentation I made guitars and vocals, Paulo Oliveira and Pablo battery olive baixo. 9OS OLIVEIRA BROTHERS). This will be the formation of shows ahead in northeastern OF BRAZIL. I’m returning to southeastern Brazil, São Paulo, certainly will form the basis for another band with other musicians.
