Hartlight
HARTLIGHT is an Esoteric Progressive/Heavy/Gothic/Power/Symphonic metal band from France.
GENESIS:
Hartlight was born first as a studio project between Noémie Marie and Adrien Djouadou. Both met during their singing studies and they became a couple. At first, Noémie was taking care of the composition and the lyrics and Adrien was handling the arrangements, the instruments and the production. It’s with this disposition that they first release various singles like «Victorious Heart » or « Hartlight ».
THE BERSERK ARC:
In 2022, Noémie and Adrien read the manga Berserk together and they came with the idea of a Power Metal EP paying tribute to the work of Kentaro Miura. The EP « From Midland and Beyond » Was born. It was released in December 2022 via Wormhole Death only in digital and has been well received by the critics.
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM:
2023 is a calm year for the duo but they have in mind to create their first album and put a band together to play live. They release a tribute single to the game Lost in Random in December 2023 called « Roll the Dice ».
FROM GESTATION TO HATCHING:
In January 2024, Noémie expresses a desire for Adrien to compose music for her voice on her own lyrics. She writes lyrics about more personal topics like Alchemy, Magic, and introspection. Adrien wrote the music for the song “As Above, So Below” and they recorded it immediately. The new dynamic lead to the first album. It would be called « As Above, So Below » and it would be a concept album about Alchemy and Magic. They asked to Adrien Guingal to become an official guitarist for the band and he accepted. Adrien D. and Noémie respectively composed and wrote the album in two weeks and they recorded it all together with Adrien G. within three weeks. Pierre d’Astora played the drums but had to leave the band to pursue his alchemical path in the french countryside. Guillaume Remih now plays the drums for the band. Now the band is preparing to play live.
