Blue Sky Black Death

Ambient Production Duo

Blue Sky Black Death was a production duo composed of Kingston (formerly Orphan, later 88 Ultra, real name Ryan Maguire) and Young God (formerly Rev. Left, currently Televangel, real name Ian Taggart). Kingston began his career working with Noah23, with whom he co-founded the Plague Language record label. The two worked together closely until 2004, at which time they parted ways. Young God also contributed production to Plague Language artists. Kingston and Young God began collaborating in 2004 under the name Torso, and also as part of the group Deadpan Darling. They released their debut album as Blue Sky Black Death, "A Heap of Broken Images", in 2006. They broke up in 2017.
