We are nolongerhuman, and this is only the beginning... nolongerhuman is the sole project of Clint Robertson. Starting in 2000, with a project called Varix, which focused on heavy electronics and Noise infused beats, Clint was quickly noticed and included in several compilations. 2004, furthering the nolongerhuman concept, several demo only recordings were released, and the development of what would become nolongerhuman's signature sound began emerging. 2006 saw the first compilation release, a track titled Transcend Humanity on BLC Records Interbreeding IX: Kuru. It generated a great amount of interest, even without vocals, and again, showed a remarkable growth from earlier work, in addition to catching the interest of several promoters and DJ's all along the West Coast. 2007, nolongerhuman continued to work on new music, seeing the release of 13 tracks, all creating a growing fan base both locally, nationally, and internationally. The first live shows began to be discussed. In May, the first nolongerhuman show, with two other local bands in Portland took place, to a stunned audience. Immediately after getting off stage he was approached for 4 more shows. Each subsequent show, opening for bands like Haujobb, and Gothminister, and God Module, earned more fans, and more supporters of the music. The demand for a longer live set quickly developed, which led to the first nolongerhuman headline show. 2009 saw the release of the debut album “Antipathy” on COP International Records. Released to nearly universal positive reviews “Antipathy” became a must have. Genre bending harsh electronics with a sense of emotion rarely seen in. Focused, determined, with a message to carry. Touring for “Antipathy” began in late 2009 and continued through 2010, supporting acts like both Nachtmahr and Funker Vogt. 2012, nolongerhuman releases “Depersonalization” on COP international. Focusing on the inhumanity in everyday life. The music is a direct response to everyday atrocity, the lyrics are both political, personal, and sociological. Heavy, distorted beats, screamed vocals, and incredibly aggressive keyboards come together with the use of found samples and movie samples as well as real emotion, nolongerhuman is as much a diary as it is an experience. All combining to form one of the most punishing, thought provoking acts available. 2014 now brings the third album, "Withdrawal." A great mixture of hard hitting beats, catchy keyboard riffs and a haunting sense of ambience drenched with foreboding swirls of doom. Heavy use of vocal samples put "Withdrawal' in a historical context, harking back to early 90s industrial. A deeply personal album, a journey to find oneself, yet it never shies away to take a stand, to be honest, to be truthful. Currently, the fourth album, Marionette, is in progress. ‘Marionette’ is a reflection of individuals in the world and their place in society. This album’s mission is to engage the audience with classic industrial and electronic music while incorporating a theatrical theme composed to represent the lifespan of an individual. "I only plan on moving forward from here, or I will die trying."

Available Now: Therapy, the newest EP from nolongerhuman

I’m happy to share the second and final EP leading up to the release of Marionette. In addition to the title track "Therapy," I’ve reworked, sped up, edited, and remixed Stop.Listen.Think.Infest to better convey the meaning of the song, which will also now be added to live sets going forward. Also included are two remixes, one from the fantastically talented Assemblage 23 that really takes the original in a new and creative direction, and another from good friends and newcomers from Seattle, DV8R, that puts their original spin on the track.

The Bandana. An Odyssey. 

The first nolongerhuman show was in 2007, in Portland at the now defunct Fez Ballroom. As strange as it may sound sixteen years later, when I started making music it had never occurred to me that I’d ever play in front of an audience. I was just a kid in a room full of keyboards and a stack of aggrotech CDs I’d been listening to since I was a teenager, not a performer. I had been posting songs I was making online and one day a local DJ sent me a message and asked if he could add it to his set. It was… weird to me because it also hadn’t occurred to me that anyone would dance to my music. The song he wanted to add was End Times. I hadn’t even written lyrics for it yet. I honestly don’t know if I had ever even planned to.
