In 1996, a U.S. branch of the Black Order was established. In summer that year, they began publication of a magazine, ''Abyss''. The U.S. group subsequently fell out with that in New Zealand over the latter's acceptance of homosexual members. The U.S. group considered a name change to the White Order as a result of this schism.
The name "Black Order" was then adopted by ideologically similar groups around the world which had no formal connection to Bolton's group. Kaplan and Weinberg described the Black Order as "a remarkably influential purveyor of National Socialist-oriented occultism throughout the world".
