Erebus strives to be innovative and add many sounds from a variety of influences to their music. In the August \'07 issue, Madhouse Monthly described Erebus as having \"a bit of bluesy punk rock funk to their music, a little bounce and crunch amidst death metal growls. Erebus is a heavily political band and they posses a somewhat maniacal demeanor on stage.\" Erebus was formed in Green Bay by brothers Dave and Jon Frazer. After the original bass player and guitar player left the band, Dave and Jon pressed on to record the first full length album entitled Prey for our Nation. Dave wrote and recorded all parts for guitar, bass, and vocals, while Jon handled the drum duties. In September/October of 2006, Gage and Zach were added to the band on guitar and bass, respectively.
