Montreal Thrash Trio OMBRA New Single “Stitches” Is A Moshpit Bruiser! + Debut EP “Night Terror” Out Sept 2026
Rising Montreal thrash trio OMBRA will release their debut EP, “Night Terror,” on September 14th, 2026, unveiling a raw, conceptual journey through fear, obsession, chemical collapse, and the darker corners of the human psyche.
Today, the band is presenting the EP’s second single, “Stitches,” to follow their explosive first track, “Hysteria.”
A haunting exploration of obsession, beauty, and the price of transformation. “Stitches” digs into the psychological spiral of chasing perfection, where flesh becomes a canvas, pain becomes currency, and identity fractures under the knife. Musically, the track blends groove‑driven speed and aggression, showcasing the band’s signature mix of raw emotion and razor‑sharp riffing.

Formed by lifelong friends Giuseppe “G” Criniti (vocals/guitar), Marco Sisti (guitar/bass), and Nico‑Angelo Sisti (drums), OMBRA emerged in late 2020 after G and Marco departed their hard‑rock/progressive project NRTH to pursue a heavier, more aggressive sound. Nico, Marco’s cousin and a well‑known drummer in the Montreal scene, joined shortly after leaving Hidden Pride. With all three members having grown up together in Lachine (a borough within the city of Montreal), the band’s formation felt natural, inevitable, and rooted in decades of shared history.
Written between 2021 and 2026, the band’s debut EP “Night Terror” reflects the band’s lived experiences and observations of a decade marked by upheaval, media distortion, obsession, chemical escape, and psychological unraveling. The EP is intentionally designed as a continuous front‑to‑back experience, culminating in the intense emotional climax of the title track.
“Our objective is to encourage people to explore their own minds, make their own opinions, and live true to themselves. This EP is our commentary on the major events and emotional weight of the last decade,” says Giuseppe “G” Criniti.
Across its five songs, “Night Terror” traces a rising arc of mental tension. Opening track “Hysteria” confronts societal panic and media‑driven chaos; “Stitches” plunges into obsession and the painful pursuit of transformation; “Blue Dream” captures chemical escapism collapsing into paranoia and possession; “Night Terror” delivers a visceral mental freefall where everything goes wrong; and “So It Goes” closes the experience with an instrumental moment of acceptance, peace, and forward motion.
Recommended for fans of Power Trip, High On Fire, Motörhead, Mastodon, Testament, and Rammstein, “Night Terror” will be available on all digital platforms on September 14, 2026.
