Forged in friendship and fueled by freedom, the album reflects their evolution from breakout stars to generational rock icons.

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino pop-rock powerhouse IV OF SPADES marks their long-awaited comeback with the release of their sophomore album, “Andalucia“, out today, November 5, 2025, on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

After a six-year hiatus and seven years since their explosive debut full-length “CLAPCLAPCLAP!” (2019), the iconic quartet—Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, Unique Salonga, and Badjao de Castro reunites with a record that captures maturity, rediscovered unity, and the exquisite softness of never needing to over-explain. “Andalucia” cements their legacy as one of the defining acts of modern OPM.

From Surprise Reunion to Creative Rebirth
The comeback began last July with the surprise double-drop of “Aura” and “Nanaman”. Those tracks were only the spark. “Andalucia” is the wildfire.

“We needed to prioritize ourselves and our relationship first before working on a new project while we weren’t okay,” the multi-awarded band shares. “It would’ve felt meaningless if we hadn’t fixed our bond before returning to making music.”

Ask them what the album title means and Zild laughs: “Andalucia is yung apartment ko simula nag-move out ako last year. Doon kami nagkikita-kita, nag-isip kami ng album title—Andalucia na lang. Nagtawanan kami noon, pero after a couple of seconds… maganda yun ah.”

The Song That Healed Them: “Aura”
Out of twelve tracks, one towers above the rest—for all four members.

• Badjao: “Aura—itsura ng nagbati kaya ko siya nagustuhan.”
• Zild: “Aura din kasi yun yung first song na ginawa naming magkakasama.”
• Unique: “Same same.”
• Blaster: “Aura.”

Co-produced with Brian Lotho and Emil Dela Rosa, the album is built for the stage. “We wanted a sound that we could play live,” they explain. Every riff, every harmony, every sweat-drenched jam session in Zild’s living room was recorded with the arena in mind.

Track Highlights

• “Monster”– the explosive focus track; retro swagger meets modern grit.
• “Nanaman”– Blaster takes lead vocals on this nostalgic banger.
• “Suliranin” – an escapist anthem that begs you to lose your worries in the crowd.
• “Konsensya” – 90s alt, indie, and Britpop in a blender.

How do four strong creative voices avoid clashing?
Blaster: “Sa creative process, more on positive suggestion kesa criticism. Kaya di na umaabot sa pagka-clash ng ideas.”

The album drops alongside back-to-back sold-out shows at Mall of Asia Arena on December 12 & 13, 2025, presented by Karpos Multimedia.

• Day 1: “May iyak kasi first time.” – Zild
• Day 2: “Wala nang iyak… pero mas mataas ang cortisol levels.” – Blaster

Expect new material performed live for the first time, reimagined classics, and four best friends who finally get to scream their reunion to 20,000 voices.

“How does it feel to have a fanbase that never left?”
Zild: “Sobrang grateful. Never naming tinake for granted na may naghintay, may nag-support, may na-excite. Puro pasasalamat lang talaga.”

What’s Next?
Zild & Blaster in unison: “Mag-bakasyon.”
Unique: “Mag-ja-Japan kami this year.”
