Sacrificial Totem existed from 2000-2006, developing a distinct style of obscure and esoteric ritual , whose influence can still be felt in numerous projects active today based in the region known as Cascadia. Known for strictly limited handmade cdrs and cathartic ritual performances, the sounds of Sacrificial Totem have been described as “blackest ambient metal” . The project ceased to exist in early 2006 when the sole creator behind Sacrificial Totem, Exile, was arrested, having been betrayed by former co-conspirators, as part of the FBI’s “Operation Backfire” for his involvement in eco-sabotage arsons attributed to the “ELF”. After serving over six years in federal prison, he was released earlier in 2012.
