Hartlight was founded by Adrien Djouadou – composer, guitarist, bassist, and mixer – together with Noémie Marie, singer and lyricist. Their paths first crossed on the shores of Switzerland, and from this encounter arose the vision of a symphonic metal band forged as a cathedral of heartfelt alchemy.

In December 2022, they released the studio EP From Midland and Beyond, an epic journey of empowerment and clarity.

In the sunlit plains of the south of France, they were joined by guitarist Adrien Guingal and drummer Guillaume Remih, forming the Alchemists, who would carry Hartlight’s symphonic metal to the stage.

In January 2024, Hartlight released As Above, So Below, a burning fight, forging hope through wisdom and resilience. The album evokes inner emotional landscapes, blending symphonic, power, and progressive metal.

 Hartlight has built an immersive live show and now performs at festivals and venues across Europe. On stage, metal rises like a gothic cathedral, driven by the united and shared energy of the Alchemists.

Hartlight is a collective of passionate artists who have mastered every aspect of their craft – from composing and producing music to creating stunning visuals – entirely independently. With perseverance and dedication, they continue to shape a universe of mystery, power, and poetic depth.

“The Alchemist community keeps growing, and we are deeply grateful for it. The third album is in production, promising an epic symphonic metal journey filled with poetry, grandeur, and heartfelt melodies!” Noémie
