On February 6, 2025 US-based Left Coast Right Watch published an article raising questions on the mysterious death of a leading Satanic neo-Nazi Anton Blenzig. In so doing, the author cast sunlight on British Columbia’s internationally connected neo-Nazi Daniel Barker (https://leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/mysterious-death-spotlights-satanic-nazi-terror-network/).
The article shines light on Daniel Barker’s history as a key neo-Nazi leader with the US based neo-Nazi group Temple of Blood (ToB) and more recently within sextortionist and mass murder accelerationist movements. It traces Barker’s history to the neo-Nazi occultist (and eventual FBI informant) Joshua Sutter’s forming of the New Bihar Mandir group in 2009:
The New Bihar Mandir shared membership with several ToB leaders. Daniel Barker, a satanist, white supremacist, heavy metal musician, and early ToB member who also promoted the brand ‘Temple of the Black Vampire,’ led the Canadian branch. Sutter and Hoy housed its headquarters in the U.S

Following the April 2025 arrest of a Wisconsin teen for killing his parents and planning to assassinate Donald Trump, more information was released about the local parasitic vampire wannabe Barker, known by various aliases and for his leadership roles in accelerationist neo-Nazi projects with a satanist bent. Barker is an admin of Mortis Covenant, an accelerationist off-shoot group of the Order of Nine Angles (09A) and promoted by the Wisconsin teen Nikita Casap before his killing spree. Barker has also become an aspirational meme character for the child exploitation and sextortion elements in the international terror networks.

Barker has a local twenty-year history with assorted neo-Nazis in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island that continue to infect the local music scenes and venues. Photos posted by Trevor “Luzifaust” King’s partner Noemi Kozikowska on Facebook depict Daniel Barker second from left at an Astoria gig in East Vancouver with fellow neo-Nazis going back more than a decade. For more see: Post-Mortem: Vastatum and The Invisible Orange tied to 09A and neo-Nazi networks
In a more recent photo, Luzifaust identifies him as “Dan Black” in a since deleted Facebook post promoting one of his neo-Nazi music projects Nordwind.
Barker’s recent music projects also include Gulag and Division Omega. The audio project Gulag was based on recordings from the Temple of Blood’s unconsensual sex and torture chamber called The Black Lodge Disicipline Center operated by Daniel Barker. Martinet Press released that project as a soundtrack for the book Iron Gates, the contemporary equivalent of the Turner Diaries as the source of inspiration for accelerationist and decentralized mass-murder taken up by neo-Nazis and fascists (https://leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/mysterious-death-spotlights-satanic-nazi-terror-network/).
Barker also has his fingers in the writing, printing and distribution of Temple of Blood materials including the Tempel ov the Black Vampire (TOBV). One such book is promoted by his Vancouver associate Trevor Dann that plays in the local metal scene:
“The Black Press and Black Light Distribution printed ToB material between 2008-2012. According to IP address analysis reviewed by journalist Nate Thayer in early 2013 before the website went offline, the Black Press’s British Columbia, Canada IP address was registered to Daniel Barker, a neo-Nazi heavy metal musician and Tempel ov Blood member who used the alias Commissar NSK, among others. Barker later went on to organize as the Tempel ov the Black Vampire (TOBV) whose symbol he has tattooed on his upper chest alongside his Tempel ov Blood sigil. The Black Press announced on their website in 2008 that they were the only authorized publisher for Tempel ov Blood.”

For British Columbia, and in particular the Lower Mainland, the risks and threats are several and immediate:
- Uncontested access to the young and targeted communities either for extreme predation or recruitment in person and online. The results of which are extorted self-harm, suicide, sexual assault, murder, and the expansion of the neo-Nazi accelerationist program.
- Police and state involvement and infiltration is neither a deterrent nor an option for communities targeted by both – a bad idea made even worse with rising Fascist states.
- Increasingly, the targets are children and teens as members of these networks infiltrate spaces and events (online and in person) posing as ‘peers’ including POC, 2SLGBTQ+ and those experiencing mental health challenges.
- These are not “lone wolves”. They succeed where the vulnerable are left unprotected and in spaces uncontested be they online, in clubs and in some cases, within our movements. They capitalize on fear and isolation, and so it is imperative that they are delivered painful consequences, for once and for all. Safe spaces are diligently created and defended – starting with no safe space for Nazis.
For a deep dive into the larger networks and factions mentioned in relation to Daniel Barker, an annotated introductory list follows. Note: the term nihilist does not apply to Daniel Barker and other neo-Nazis et al (at all) that have a clear political agenda. The term however may apply to those who turn away, ignore and complicitly accept predation upon a young generation online and in our community spaces including event venues in East Vancouver some of which are all ages and claim to be inclusive. Given the nature of Daniel Barker and the neo-Nazi accelerationists he has spent two decades inspiring, that would be a generous description of those that give his kind unfettered access.

“In 2017 and 2018, AWD gained significant attention, especially among neofascist accelerationists, for a series of high-profile, violent incidents. AWD member Devon Arthurs murdered two roommates in 2017, founder Brandon Clint Russell was found guilty for unlawful possession of unregistered explosives, and other members were arrested for additional murders and terror conspiracies. As a result, AWD rose to become a dominant brand in the realm of accelerationism and was considered by experts as a keystone entity in generating “franchised” networks and milieus, such as the Atomwaffen Division Deutschland in Germany, Atomwaffen Division Russland in Russia, Feuerkrieg Division, and more. Because of the group’s worldwide notoriety, these AWD-branded networks aim to capitalize on the power and fear that come with evoking affiliation with the brand. Notably, Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) claims to be a “spin-off” of AWD and specifically cites AWD as inspiration for their embrace of Siege Culture and accelerationism. AWD and FKD had a high level of joint membership, including Taylor Ashley Parker-Dipeppe, who was involved in an intimidation plot against journalists and activists. Communication between AWD and FKD leaders even revealed an offer from AWD to merge efforts, though the deal was vehemently rejected by the FKD leader, who wished to retain independent operations. Within the overarching neofascist accelerationist network, AWD and FKD, along with Sonnenkrieg Division and The Base, are considered to be especially violent and prominent nodes.
The original American-based AWD went defunct in 2019 and officially disbanded in March 2020 following the arrests of founding members. The collapse of AWD was also accelerated by an organizational upheaval caused by the leadership’s association with Tempel ov Blood and The Order of Nine Angles (O9A) members.

The Base
“Together, we will secure a future for our people” is the last line of the video, echoing the famous neo-Nazi slogan. Posters have been found in Newark, Winnipeg, Seattle, Princeton, and Milwaukee.
The group is reportedly planning a “hate camp,” a paramilitary-style training camp among militant neo-Nazis in Washington state, according to an anti-fascist group in Eugene, Oregon that has been investigating The Base.”

InJekt Division
“In an appearance on a far-right podcast, a man going by “Korb’’ who is described as the president of the group described it as an “extremist alternative to the 12-step program, hence the syringe logo… Extremism and purpose is the only way to abstain from bad habits.”

Iron March
“At the end of the day, just like their white counterparts, neo-nazis who are not white will use violence to target a wide range of identities, including Jews, Muslims, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, feminists, and even people of color from other identities. Advocates of oppression can be found among all groups, and a multiracial neo-nazism already exists in reality—whether one can get their mind around it or not.”

NLM – No Lives Matter
““No Lives Matter” has emerged in recent months as a particularly violent splinter group within the extremist crime network known as Com and 764, and experts are at a loss for how to stop its spread…In the face of international law enforcement pressure, dozens of prosecutions, and worldwide disrepute, the network of young sadists, misanthropes, child predators, and extortionists known as Com and 764 has not shrunk away into obscurity…There is also evidence of 764’s praxis and imagery merging with that of the Terrorgram Collective, a neo-Nazi propaganda network that aims to radicalize young people and inspire solo acts of sabotage and mass murder.”

O9A
“On Friday October 6th 2023, The WISE Hall in East Vancouver was set to host Vastatum, a neo-Nazi affiliated metal band. With concerted efforts from patrons, local metal and punk fans, and Commercial Drive neighbours, the band was dropped. The social media firestorm leading up to the event raised some interesting questions.”

Sextortion
“In the California case, the defendants allegedly followed a pattern: They invited kids to servers run by CVLT on a platform the indictment refers to as “Platform D.” There, they groomed kids, exploiting vulnerabilities like mental health struggles or a history of sexual abuse and promising to protect them from online predators. They’d then expose the children to extreme content like imagery of animals being tortured, women being raped, and “gore” child pornography while promoting extreme ideologies like neo-Nazism and pedophilia.
Gradually, the alleged perpetrators urged children to participate in increasingly degrading, extreme and dangerous behavior themselves…”

“Another enterprising predator created a 32-chapter guide on how to make money being an effective sextorter. The guide offers one on one services and access to buyers for a 20% vig. “If you have a platform where you are selling your sextortion content, you will be able to recruit perpetrators by offering them money. Perpetrators, especially psychopaths, who have only their own interests in mind, will be more inclined to stick with you over the long term if they can make money working for you. This financial incentive not only attracts perpetrators but also ensures their loyalty and commitment to sextortion.”

“Are these arrests the end of Terrorgram? You may have a collapse specifically of this particular network, but is that the end?

“Two men, including one who lives in North Carolina, are facing charges after prosecutors say they led an international child exploitation ring linked to the extremist group 764.
Charged are 21-year-old Leonidas Varagiannis, known as ‘War,’ and 20-year-old Prasan Nepal, known as ‘Trippy,’ said prosecutors from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in a news release… The 764 members then took the images and created ‘Lorebooks’ to share among 764 members, court documents allege. These books included child sexual abuse material and was viewed as ‘valuable currency’ within the 764 group, court documents show.
According to court documents, 764 members shared their content, which was then stored in online vaults. Those managing the vaults agreed to keep the content if any members were ‘fedded,’ or arrested.
Varagiannis and Nepal are accused of recruiting 764 members based on the quality and popularity of the content they shared online, court documents show… “
