Obús’ heavy riffs and onstage theatricality has an observable lineage in the canons of metal and rock. Their fierce guitars are apparent in Judas Priest’s rollicking “Living After Midnight” and Deep Purple’s year-zero headbanging anthem “Smoke On The Water”. Motörhead’s “Overkill” anticipates Obús at their most relentless, with snarling drums and singer Lemmy’s jaded scream.
