Abstract

Sixteen currently-broadcasting stations that play pagan metal or its immediate neighbours (viking, folk, Mittelalter-rock, pagan folk). Two families dominate the space: Radio Caprice’s single-genre Icecast channels out of Moscow, and German-language user-run stations on laut.fm. Every laut.fm entry was checked live — station API returned an active broadcast and the track playing at the time of writing is listed. Radio Caprice mounts are HTTP-only and could not be played from an HTTPS page, so they carry directory-reported status rather than a playback check.

Mittelalter

Medieval, Mittelalter-rock, Celtic and pagan folk. Was playing Blood Axis when checked, so genuinely reaches into the neofolk/pagan corner rather than staying with market music.

Rockstation

General rock and heavy metal but with Pagan Metal declared as a rotation genre.

DJ 666 Geordieblackcore

Extreme metal station — black, death, grindcore — with pagan black metal and folk metal in the tag list. The rawest option here.

Pagan folk and Mittelalter neighbours

Not metal stations, but the same repertoire pagan metal draws on.

Nachtfalkin

Celtic, pagan folk and neofolk, with live shows and podcasts.

Drachenherz

Swiss station: medieval scene music, Mittelalter-rock and Nordic song.

  • Stream: https://stream.laut.fm/drachenherz
  • Page: https://laut.fm/drachenherz
  • Playing when checked: Schandmaul — Die Flucht
  • Origin: Kriens, Switzerland
  • laut.fm streams are HTTPS MP3 at 128 kbps and play in a browser tab, in Winamp/foobar2000/VLC, or in any Icecast-capable app. Each also resolves at https://<name>.stream.laut.fm/<name> if the shared host is busy.
  • Radio Caprice mounts are plain HTTP. Browsers on HTTPS pages block them as mixed content, so use a desktop player (VLC: Media → Open Network Stream) rather than pasting them into an address bar on a secure page. Port 8000/8004 mounts are 320 kbps, port 8002 is a 48 kbps low-bandwidth feed, and the :9xxx/; form is the legacy SHOUTcast mount.
  • Radio Caprice moves channels between servers periodically; if an IP stops answering, the current mount is listed on the channel’s page at radcap.ru.
  • Most of the German stations run scheduled shows rather than a fixed genre loop, so the pagan/viking blocks come and go through the day. Metalmaster Alf and Tiwaz Camp are the two that stay on-theme around the clock.
