In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/, also Erebos (Greek: Ἔρεβος, "deep darkness, shadow"), was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos. Erebus features little in Greek mythological tradition and literature, but is said to have fathered several other deities with Nyx; depending on the source of the mythology, this union includes Aether, Hemera, the Hesperides, Hypnos, the Moirai, Geras, Styx, Charon, and Thanatos.
In Greek literature the name Erebus is also used of a region of the Greek underworld where the dead pass immediately after dying, and is sometimes used interchangeably with Tartarus.
The perceived meaning of Erebus is "darkness"; the first recorded instance of it was "place of darkness between earth and Hades". The name Ἔρεβος itself originates from PIE *h1regʷ-es/os- "darkness" (cf. Sanskrit rájas, Gothic riqis, Old Norse røkkr).
Erebos is the seventh studio album by the Polish blackened death metal band Hate. It was released on November 15, 2010, through Listenable Records. The album was recorded between Julay and August 2010 at Hertz Studio in Białystok, Poland, and was produced by Adam "ATF Sinner" Buszko and Krzysztof "Kris" Wawrzak.
A video was shot for the title song, which was directed by Sławomir Makowski.
And there's still no rest...
For those who live in glory of their past lives!
Blades shines bright horizon to horizon,
Without a cloud in sight, space itself seeps sanguine,
This is my poem to enlightenment,
I'm here to bring new extinction to the world!
The air is turning into endothermic blast!
There's still no way...
To wake up from slumber of thy past lives!
The core implodes in gravity's embrace,
Nuclear runaway fuses atoms from hell(ium) to iron,
The soil screams, sears the sky with shockwaves,
Flings death's fertile ash across the void!
The world is turning into endothermic blast!
If tomorrow is promised, why does it hold a gun to its head?
Who said this day would ever come?
[Solo: Destroyer]
Mighty Erebos! Heal my wounds!
Mighty Erebos! Heal my soul!
Mighty Erebos! Heal my conscience!
Mighty Erebos! The whole sky is bleeding red...
The black clouds, they spill out rains of blood!
Now anyone can see one true God,
Monarch to the kingdom of no end,
