The Usaisamonster is a guitar-and-drums duo founded in early 2000 by Brooklyn noise veterans Tom Hohman and Colin Langenus. Their fourth full-length, Space Programs, was released in 2008 on Load Records, and finds the pair diluting the punk and metal sensibilities on their first three albums. Advancing instead into harmonizing historical narratives, Space Programs takes epic post-prog sweeps, packing each song tightly into phases of time-shifting guitar riffs and synth nodes to rush the listener through as many realms as it can conquer. Check out this gig at Death By Audio while you can; the band has announced it will play its final show May 9 in Brooklyn.
