  OBUS is a Spanish heavy metal band formed in Madrid in 1980. The band is considered one of the pioneers of Spanish heavy metal and has had a significant impact on the country's music scene.

History:

The band was formed in 1980 by bassist Fernando Sánchez and drummer Francisco Laguna. The original lineup also included vocalist Juan Luis Serrano and guitarist Paco Laguna. The band's name was inspired by a Russian anti-aircraft gun called "OBUShka."

OBUS released their first album, "Prepárate," in 1981, which became a success in Spain. The album featured songs such as "Va A Estallar El Obús" and "Autopista," which became classics of Spanish heavy metal.

The band's second album, "Poderoso Como El Trueno," was released in 1985 and cemented their status as one of the leading bands in the Spanish heavy metal scene. The album featured hits such as "Vamos Muy Bien" and "Dinero, Dinero."

OBUS continued to release successful albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, including "El Que Más" (1986), "Dejarse La Piel" (1988), "Otra Noche En La Ciudad" (1991), and "Desde El Fondo Del Abismo" (1994).

In the late 1990s, the band went on hiatus, but they reunited in 2000 to celebrate their 20th anniversary. They released a live album, "Directo Al Rock And Roll," in 2002 and a new studio album, "Juego Sucio," in 2003.

Music:

OBUS's music is heavily influenced by classic heavy metal bands such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Their sound is characterized by heavy riffs, powerful vocals, and catchy choruses.

The band's lyrics often deal with social issues, such as corruption, inequality, and urban decay. They also explore themes of love, passion, and the human condition.
