Xavier Devon Skye (born April 6, 1987) is an American guitarist who was the first and original rhythm guitar player of The Blackest of Suns. Like with one of the co-founding members, Chad Hexane, he played on the first two albums during the group's career: Somewhere Under the Rainbow and Bring the Pain. Skye was fired from The Blackest of Suns shortly after the release of the band's second album, due to creative differences.
