Le trio montréalais OMBRA, formation émergente de metal, a officiellement sorti son premier EP, « Night Terror », disponible dès maintenant (à partir du 14 septembre 2026). Puisant ses racines dans le thrash old-school, le sludge, le groove metal et le rock psychédélique, ce projet conceptuel de cinq titres offre une plongée viscérale et intense dans la peur, l'obsession, l'effondrement chimique et le poids psychologique de la vie moderne. L'EP mêle émotions brutes, riffs acérés et la fusion caractéristique du groupe entre horreur et chaos du monde réel. Formé par Giuseppe « G » Criniti (chant/guitare), Marco Sisti (guitare/basse) et Nico-Angelo Sisti (batterie), amis de longue date, OMBRA est l'évolution naturelle de leurs précédents groupes cultes, NRTH et Hidden Pride. Le trio a grandi ensemble à Lachine, fréquenté les mêmes écoles et est issu de familles ayant immigré d'Italie ensemble, ce qui donne à la formation du groupe des allures de prédilection plutôt que de choix. Fin 2020, G et Marco ont quitté NRTH pour se consacrer à une musique plus extrême, et Nico, le cousin de Marco et batteur reconnu de la scène montréalaise, les a rejoints peu après son départ de Hidden Pride. Véritable EP conceptuel sur la peur, l'effondrement et la condition humaine, « Night Terror » a été composé entre 2021 et 2026. Cet EP reflète le vécu et les observations du groupe au cours d'une décennie marquée par les bouleversements, la manipulation médiatique, l'obsession, la guerre et l'effondrement émotionnel. L'EP est conçu comme une expérience continue, du titre 1 « Hysteria » au titre 5 « So It Goes », chaque chapitre approfondissant la descente aux enfers psychologique : « Nous avons écrit cet EP comme une réflexion sur nos propres expériences, sentiments et émotions de ces dernières années. Le monde a connu tant de changements, de bouleversements et de guerres ; cet EP est notre commentaire sur certains des événements majeurs de la dernière décennie. Notre objectif est d'encourager chacun à explorer ses propres pensées, à se forger ses propres opinions et à vivre en accord avec soi-même. Cet EP reflète nos réflexions et nos observations. Nous encourageons chacun à s'exprimer librement à travers l'art, la parole et tout autre médium de son choix.» – Ombra.

"Night Terror is a debut EP that knows exactly what it wants to do. OMBRA take Thrash Metal, pass it through Groove, Sludge and psychedelic rock and use it to tell a story that begins with social unrest and ends deep within the human mind. It's not an album that tries to impress you with technique. It wins you over with intensity, riffs, groove and atmosphere. And most importantly: It's not five random songs. It's a journey. From Hysteria to Night Terror. From the outside world to the inside. From control to loss of control. And finally, to acceptance. OMBRA are just taking their first step. But it's a step that sounds heavy, mature and determined. Darkness doesn't reside outside the mind. Sometimes it resides within it. And OMBRA have just given it a soundtrack." - Rock N Roll Town “OMBRA emerges in ‘Hysteria’ as a force that transforms social chaos into high-impact art. Advancing with the brutality of thrash metal and the structure of hard rock, the track shapes a sound that feels like both a siren and a sentence at the same time. Sharp and relentless, the riffs dialogue with drums that tear through the silence, while the vocals echo indignation and lucidity, a manifesto in the form of distortion. The band builds tension with precision: there is weight, but also clarity; fury, but control.” - Roadie Metal “Delivering high-quality extreme metal that blends elements of thrash metal with other influences full of raw aggressiveness, a cinematic atmosphere with no soft edges, like a punch to the gut!” - Metal Junkbox “From the moment we hear the sound of sirens, gunshots, and helicopters flying overhead, we know we’re going to encounter a strong track both in sound and lyrics, because the soundscape they create from the very first seconds already feels dense… the drums and guitar move between agility and the creation of a track full of suspense and tension.” - Poppunkers ‘STITCHES’, the new single from the Canadian trio OMBRA, arrives like an open cut: direct, intense, and impossible to ignore. The song crosses the border between hard rock and thrash metal with aggressiveness, transforming psychological tension into dense and precise sound.” - Roadie Music “OMBRA is an incredible discovery! A band that shows us metal is more alive than ever… it is the perfect soundtrack to start a mosh and let out all our anger. It maintains brutal riffs worthy of any Metallica fan, an imposing guttural voice… it is 100% recommended!” - End Sessions “I really felt it wasn’t a song made to sound pretty. It’s dark, heavy, and direct… The story it tells ,a woman who keeps reconstructing herself to fit in, hit me hard… It’s not a song that accompanies you in the background; it’s one that confronts you. It ends and leaves you with that knot in your chest.” - Rockola Indie “Stitches’ hits hard with a dark and visceral vision of the oversexualization of women and the price of chasing perfection… It is raw, uncomfortable, and impossible to ignore.” - Poppunkers “Stitches’ explores the limits between obsession, beauty, and self-destruction. The track dives into the mind of someone who seeks perfection at any cost… Musically, it combines aggressiveness and atmosphere, with a fast, dense, and confrontational sound… a sharp and suffocating sonority that amplifies the emotional tension. ‘Stitches’ transforms psychological horror into sonic impact.” - Metal Never Die “The band delivers one of their darkest and most intense compositions to date. The last single before the release of the EP Night Terror, the track dives deeply into themes such as dependency, paranoia, and the destructive consequences of escaping reality. Combining dense and melodic passages with explosions of weight and aggressiveness, creating a sound experience that is as engaging as it is disturbing.” - Metal Junkbox ‘Blue Dream’ delivers suffocating, volatile metal with heavy riffs depicting psychological terror, chemical dependency, and mental collapse in a dense, cinematic sound." - Whiplash |
