Homo Deprecatus means "deprecated self." In programming, when a method or function is outdated but still in use for backwards compatibility reasons, it is said to be deprecated.

Mankind is in such a state. We're selfish and sinful, but God keeps us around because that's how Ya made us. Eventually, Ya will return, and we will be given new bodies. We will no longer be sinful, we will be the new, superior model of mankind.

Homo Deprecatus was a solo project for Stephen Smithwilliams. Upon the dissolution of To Slay Zombie Newton, Steve started 2 projects: Homo Deprecatus and Regdar and the Fighters. The former was intended to be my "serious" project where I sang about serious topics: society, religion, girls. The latter was the fun, goofy project where I sang about D&D and video games. Over the years; HD fell increasingly by the wayside: Regdar became more socially aware, and I joined more bands, and shunted my angsty songs into them.

You can find all of my other projects linked on the LLAMAMALL records site.
