Who is Jus Oborn?

Justin "Jus" Oborn is the lead vocalist, lead electric guitarist and lyricist of Electric Wizard, an influential doom metal/stoner metal band from Dorset, England. Prior to forming Electric Wizard, Oborn was a member of the band Lord of Putrefaction, which changed its name to Thy Grief Eternal and then to Eternal.

Oborn, along with bassist Tim Bagshaw and drummer Mark Greening, formed Electric Wizard in 1993. He has been the band's frontman since that time. Under his guidance, they became one of doom metal's most critically acclaimed groups, releasing seven albums since 1995. Two of their albums, Come My Fanatics... and Dopethrone are considered by many critics to be landmark albums in the doom metal genre.

In early 2003, Bagshaw and Greening left the band, making Oborn the only founding member who remains. Later in that year, Oborn gathered a new line-up for the band – which included his wife, Liz Buckingham, as second guitarist. She has remained part of the band ever since, with she and Oborn both handling guitar duties on Electric Wizard's most recent releases, We Live and Witchcult Today.

Justin was known as "Fuzz" by his friends at his primary school in Wimborne Minster.
