IV of Spades releases comeback album

The album aims to capture “the essence of friendship, artistic maturity, and rediscovered unity,” amid the weighty legacy of being a defining act in modern OPM. Previously released tracks include “Aura” and “Nanaman,” which represent their creative rebirth.

For band members Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, Badjao de Castro, and Unique Salonga, it was important to “prioritize their relationship first before working on a new project.”
