Join us each month as Satan takes the helm and delivers up another batch of blasphemous tunes conveniently bundled into a playlists that would be just perfect for playing at a weekend meditation retreat, to help soothe a maternity ward, or to spin at your Grandmother’s funeral. These playlists really does suit all occasions, I think you’ll agree.
Mithraic Zine July 2025 Playlist
Be warned, this month’s playlist is truly unhinged… In honour of our Black Metal v Drill article, I felt I had to create a playlist to highlight the diversity of extremity and convictions that both these genres have produced over the years. Only the most extreme and controversial chosen. No convictions, no selection. (No Absurd though, blame Spotify!)
Mithraic Zine June 2025 Playlist
More blasphemous music for Godless heathens, enjoy! -D.
Mithraic Zine May 2025 Playlist
Back to black with a mix of classic black metal mixed in with modern heavyweights alike, each track evokes an array of emotions, from a sense of ritualistic fury and occult mysticism to the raw adrenaline of speed-driven riffs and the cold bite of melodic darkness. This month’s playlist is for those looking for a fast-paced, blasphemous barrage of black metal bangers. – D.
Mithraic Zine April 2025 Playlist
“This month I’ve tried to look at new music and hidden gems right across the genre. I’m hoping that though you may know some of these artists and tracks, there’s something new for you to dive into and explore. Including Caldan Brood, Walg, the awesome Harifa who have exploded onto the scene, Prayer Position, Ultha, Forsaken Land, Houle, and loads more, there’s everything from 2nd wave to symphonic to DSBM, and everything in between. “

Mithraic Zine March 2025 Playlist
Descend into a realm where darkness and nostalgia intertwine. This playlist weaves together the raw ferocity of black metal, the medieval mysticism of dungeon synth, the sweeping melancholy of atmospheric black metal, and the primal power of old school death metal. Featuring artists like Erang, Falls of Rauros, and Délirant, each track evokes an array of emotions, from a sense of mournful grandeur and solitary reflection to bursts of triumphant fury and otherworldly wonder. – D.
Mithraic Zine February 2025 Playlist

As well as Wynter Myst, represented this month with “Avalanche” from their new Cold Hate EP, however I’ve also included “December MMXXIII”n another fantastic track!. Kildonan, Burial, Crocell, the immense power of Kvaen I’ve tried to keep everything to late ‘24 early ‘25, From the immersive atmospheres of Gormoth to the raw doom-punk energy of Mantar, I hope there’s something here for everyone.” – Zero
Mithraic Zine January 2025 Playlist
The January 2025 playlist is basically just a best of 2024 playlist mixed in with a couple of our interviews. You may think I’ve lost it a bit with randomly throwing in Coven and Black Sabbath at the end, but 1) fuck you, because both are great and acceptable for any occasion, and 2) because they are quite literally the progenitors of the sub-genre we stand here gathered today celebrating and both are going on tour in 2025. Isn’t that fucking nuts it’s still possible to go see Coven and Black Sabbath performing live somewhere like it’s 1970? – D.
Contributor Zero’s Metal Playlist
“This bonus playlist serves as an introduction to our content writer, Zero. Here are 30 (ish) essential tracks! some old, some new, all of them fucking excellent!

Everyone needs to know every one of these songs!” – 0
Contributor D’s Metal Playlist
Pretty much what it says in the title, 30-or-so tracks that D thinks you should listen. Or don’t, but that’s what he’ll be listening to, or some variation of. Mostly Scandinavian black or death metal, with a sprinkling of Dutch and Polish metal thrown in as well.
