A song I heard long ago inspired Falling into Erebus. I was trying to remember the riff from that song and couldn’t figure out what song it was and the main line from this song emerged. A couple weeks later I finally realized what that original song was and listened to it. Since neither song was even remotely close to each other, I liked mine more and decided to fully flush it out. The most challenging part of this song was naming it. I started brainstorming concepts with my wife and she was exceptionally helpful in the title creation. Erebus is a name given to the Greek underworld ruled by the god Hades. Erebus also refers to a Greek deity so to avoid any confusion I decided to include a brief history regarding the name Erebus.
