Boneripper Streams “Deeds Define” Music Video

Northern Netherlands metallic hardcore outfit Boneripper unveils music video for “Deeds Define,” the final preview from their upcoming second record, Radiant in Ruin, set for release this Friday, 26 June, on vinyl and CD as well as across digital platforms.

Says Boneripper:
“‘Deeds Define’ is about choosing action over empty words. In a world full of noise, outrage, and endless debate, it reminds us that character is built by what we do — not what we claim to believe. Instead of arguing about what a good person should be, this song calls for leading by example and living your values every day. Because in the end, truth is not spoken — it is lived.”

Boneripper’s Radiant in Ruin stares straight into the current world, a world full of corruption, violence, environmental collapse, and social fracture. It calls out power structures, hypocrisy, and collective denial, but keeps circling back to the idea that survival isn’t granted, it’s chosen. It’s bleak, but not passive: more a warning shouted through clenched teeth than a lament, standing against oppression and refusing to break under pressure.

Boneripper will play Hostile Territory, a benefit festival in Dordrecht, on 26 June. A record release show in Leeuwarden is scheduled for 3 July, followed by an appearance supporting Agnostic Front in Rotterdam on 5 July. In addition, a slew of shows are lined up for this year.

Based in Harlingen, Netherlands, Boneripper boasts former and current members of Manu Armata, 13Steps and Bladecrusher, including the Glashouwer brothers.

Boneripper refused to tread lightly as the new kids on the block. Instead, they built on the foundations of their previous bands and soon dropped the EP Vengeance & Forgiveness in 2023, bringing their fury with searing riffs, relentless grooves, turbocharged vocals, and a “straight to your face” attitude. Their debut album, World Ablaze, released in May 2024, strove for greater brutality and aggression. Delving into themes of societal turmoil, from war and climate change to fake news and discrimination, the songs reflect on the despair these issues can evoke and the resilience required to persevere.

On the sophomore record Radiant in Ruin, Boneripper slightly pulls back on their metallic extremities, but refuses to step back from their ferocious ways, allowing more muscular hardcore strides forward. Driven by propulsive anger and defiance, the record lures listeners into the mosh pit and stomp through the floor. Amid the turbulent, hyperactive moods, the album is still rife with dynamic and anthemic moments reminiscent of Youth Crew.
