nolongerhuman presents new album 'Depersonalization'

Industrial Music CDs on eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay GER

COP International announces the second album by electro/industrial act nolongerhuman aka Clint Robertson. "Depersonalization" will be released end of March 2012. This release is the follow-up to his debut album, "Antipathy" (2009).

Here's what Robertson has to say about this new release: "With this second album, I have really tried to build on 'Antipathy', the first release, and take the same feelings behind that, and expand it. I think every artist grows with every new release, and I feel that 'Depersonalization' is the continuation of nolongerhuman. Focusing on emotion first and foremost, the songs range from melancholic to furious, discussing topics such as loss, abandonment, and the lies told to us every day. My goal with this album was to not pull any punches, to describe the world as I see it."
