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 metal band shaped as an alchemical sanctuary of sound.

In December 2022, they released the studio EP “From Midland and Beyond”, a pilgrimage of power.

In the sunlit plains of the south of France, they were joined by guitarist Adrien Guingal and drummer Guillaume Remih, forming the fellowship that would carry Hartlight’s symphonic metal to the stage and share its burning magic with their fellow Alchemists.

In January 2024, Hartlight released “As Above So Below”, the Black Work Album – a descent into suffering and confrontation, facing chaos and forging strength through struggle.

Then, in February 2025, they unveiled “The Triumph of Metal”, the White Work Album – a journey of purification, clarity, forging power through alchemy.

Hartlight have built an immersive show and are now performing in festivals and venues across Europe. On stage, metal rises like an iron cathedral, driven by the united, shared energy of the Alchemists.

“Hartlight is a collective of passionate artists who, until now, have learned everything on their own – from music composition and production to visual creation. With perseverance and patience, we build our universe of magic and power.

The Alchemist community is growing, and we are grateful for that!

Our third album is currently in production, and it promises a fantastic epic infused with the colors of Alchemy.”
