‘…The French-Swiss band took to the stage with a disconcerting confidence for a young band, and from the very first chords, the tone was set. Noémie, the voice of the band, impressed from the very first lines. Her vocal delivery is of a finesse and power that instantly captivates… Hartlight is one of those bands whose potential you can quickly guess. The band conquered the Rock’n’Eat audience tonight with brio…’

“Never stingy with orchestrations … a Power Metal opera with an emphasis on bells, choirs and a harmony that grabs the heart … with this first album, HARTLIGHT leave their mark … succeeds in distinguishing itself both through its almost unique style in France, through its engaging harmonic orchestrations and through a singer who delivered a great interpretation. These are good prospects!”

Metal Gods TV
“Forget everything you’ve heard so far when it comes to Symphonic Metal bands with female vocals, because a new band has arrived with the aim of elevating this genre to a level never seen or heard before … and it all starts with a vocalist, Noémie Marie, capable of a dreamy register, not too rocky, not too operatic, but touchingly beautiful.”
Via Nocturna
“… very well done … a strong, melodic, symphonic debut … excellent musical structures with multiple layers and rhythms … well accentuated, dramatic tempo changes … very refined, textured sounds on multiple musical levels …”
Darkzen
“… in the style of Battle Beast , Ancient Bards, Xandria and Delain … an opus that is as sunny and exhilarating as it is strongly emotionally charged … atmospherically and rhythmically diverse, stylistically varied, with a good sound engineering … you can follow from start to finish without any detours … a serious hope in a field where it was not necessarily expected …”
Spirit of Metal France
“… with antique motifs … great orchestrations and choirs … Noémie Allet proves to be a sensational singer, very expressive and with a powerful voice that captivates from the first moment … the Power Metal track ‘The Land Of The Star’ is beautiful with its proud chorus and Allet’s high vocals … all these hits … unpretentious, pleasant and intelligently played symphonic Power Metal without being overly pompous. A simply excellent debut.”
