Harmoniks was a Swiss folk metal band from Échallens (Vaud), active in several phases between 2005 and 2018. Their music blended melodic metal with folk‑inspired instrumentation and storytelling, laying the groundwork for what would later become Norvhar, their current incarnation.
The early Harmoniks era produced a demo and a single that already hinted at the epic, melodic, and folk‑driven direction the band would fully embrace under their new name. After periods of inactivity, the group re‑emerged in 2015 with renewed energy before officially transforming into Norvhar in 2018, marking a stylistic and conceptual evolution while maintaining their folk‑metal roots.
For the continuation of the band, see Norvhar.
