A heat-assisted magnetic recording medium has a heat-sink layer, a chemically-ordered FePt alloy magnetic layer and a perovskite oxide intermediate layer between the heat-sink layer and the magnetic layer. The perovskite oxide intermediate layer may function as both a seed layer for the magnetic layer and a thermal barrier layer, as just a seed layer for the magnetic layer, or as just a thermal barrier layer. The intermediate layer is formed of a material selected from a ABO3 perovskite oxide (where A is selected from one or more of Ba, Sr and Ca and B is selected from one or more of Zr, Ce, Hf, Sn, Ir, and Nb), and a A2REBO6 rare earth double perovskite oxide (where RE is a rare earth element, A is selected from Ba, Sr and Ca, and B is selected from Nb and Ta).
