For Revenge step into a new chapter of their musical journey as they release their fifth album, Perayaan Patah Hati – Babak 2.

The band sees this project as a continuation of the emotional story they began in the previous chapter.

It marks another milestone in their ongoing exploration of loss, healing, and everything in between.

The project continues the emotional narrative they first introduced in Babak 1 back in 2022.

It revisits the themes of loss that shaped the earlier chapter. Then, it moves the story toward a sense of recovery.

In the end, the album brings their long-running journey to a full circle.

The band worked on this album over an extended period starting in 2023, and they first teased it with the single “Sadrah” in 2024.

Behind New Album from for Revenge

The new release features 14 tracks.

According to vocalist Boniex Nur, this chapter focuses on acceptance.

He explained that while the previous album explored loss, the new one invites listeners into a phase where light begins to break through the heaviness.

He added that this theme strengthens their long-standing message of “celebrating heartbreak,” which has shaped their recent releases.

The band also brought several collaborators into the project.

Three singles arrived earlier.

The first was their collaboration with Wira Nagara on “Kala Luka Berpesta.”

Then they teamed up with Elsa Japasal for “Menunggu Giliran.”

Finally, they released “Untuk Kau yang Di Sana (UKYDS)” with Stand Here Alone.

The album also introduces two new collaborations featuring Vicky Mono of DeadSquad and the band Lomba Sihir.

Personal connections and strong artistic chemistry guided their choices.

Boniex shared that Vicky Mono had long been a respected senior in Bandung’s music scene.

The band had known him since his early years with Burgerkill.

Over time, that familiarity grew into a natural creative connection, which made his involvement in the project feel even more fitting.

Vicky also appeared in their previous music video for “Jeda.”

Boniex explained that they had known him personally since his early days with Burgerkill.

He added that Vicky’s intense character made him the perfect match for the anger that drives the track “Bernama Karma.”

Meanwhile, they invited Lomba Sihir after realizing the track “Selamat Merayakan” needed a brighter, more festive feel.

Their earlier work together at Konser Sang Derana strengthened this idea, leading to a collaboration that aligned with their vision.

After The Album was Released

Three years after releasing Perayaan Patah Hati – Babak 1, Boniex expressed relief and satisfaction with the new album.

He noted that the project was originally scheduled for 2023.

However, it went through several delays along the way.

He said the longer timeline ultimately helped the band.

It gave them room to keep the emotional thread intact while adding new layers that reflect their musical growth.

He emphasized that listeners can still enjoy Babak 2 without hearing the previous chapter.

He explained that the album stands on its own and remains accessible to new listeners.

Yet he also noted that those who explore both albums will experience a deeper and more complete story, especially about the emotional stages of loss.

The album also marks an important milestone for for Revenge, as it becomes their first full-length project under Sony Music Indonesia.

Boniex said the experience taught them many new things.

He explained that the process also introduced them to incredible collaborators.

And through it all, the journey strengthened their evolution as musicians since forming the band in 2006.

He also shared a message for fans, encouraging them to wait, listen, feel, and celebrate heartbreak together with the band.

Perayaan Patah Hati – Babak 2 is available on all digital music platforms starting December 11, 2025.

There’s always something new and creative in Indonesia’s music scene, and this time it comes from a collaboration between for Revenge & Stand Here Alone.

While collaborations between solo artists have become common, these two bands decided to explore something different.

The result is their brand-new single, “Untuk Kau yang Di Sana (UKYDS),” which merges alternative rock with pop punk in an emotionally driven track.

According to Boniex, vocalist of for Revenge, the song tells the story of someone longing for a figure who has been absent from their life.

However, a closer look at the lyrics reveals a deeper narrative.

One about mental struggles, loneliness, depression, and the pain of feeling invisible to others.

The idea to bring both bands together came from Boniex himself, who had been thinking about it for a while.

Collaboration Story of for Revenge & Stand Here Alone

He shared that their frequent encounters on stage and previous collaborations at off-air events inspired him to take the idea further by writing a song together.

While for Revenge has collaborated with solo artists before, this marks their first time teaming up with another band.

Boniex described it as both a challenge and a refreshing experience, especially since they co-wrote the track and aimed to transport listeners back to the early 2000s when both bands were just starting out.

Taufik Andryyansyah, better known as Mbenk, bassist and vocalist of Stand Here Alone, recalled how their collaboration began.

Boniex sent him a rough demo with only music and invited him to create something different together.

They instantly clicked and scheduled a workshop to write lyrics, develop melodies, and build musical chemistry.

Even though their styles differ, they found common ground.

With Samuel refining the arrangement and Kamga directing vocals during recording, the experience became even more meaningful for Stand Here Alone.

They had never worked with a vocal director before.

Echoing Mbenk’s sentiment, Boniex emphasized the full collaboration between the two bands.

Blending Two Styles

He explained that the process flowed naturally from workshop to studio, and the biggest challenge was blending two distinct styles.

for Revenge’s emotional and gloomy tone with Stand Here Alone’s energetic and catchy sound.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and enjoyable.

Both bands agreed to stay open-minded and set aside egos, resulting in a harmonious partnership.

Despite their genre differences, Mbenk believed some parts of the song carried the vibrant energy that defines Stand Here Alone.

He pointed out that while the song leans toward for Revenge’s signature dark themes and emotional lyrics, it still maintains a strong pop-punk spirit through its tempo, dynamics, and vocal character.

This contrast, he said, creates a unique dual flavor that they’re proud of.

The Final Result

Boniex noted that the song may surprise listeners, especially long-time fans of for Revenge.

With Stand Here Alone bringing a strong pop-punk vibe, UKYDS feels like a rare but fitting direction for for Revenge.

“It might even make people ask, ‘Wait, is this really a for Revenge song?’” he said.

Both Boniex and Mbenk agreed that this project proves that cross-band collaborations can be powerful and refreshing.

They showed that bands with distinct identities can unite without overshadowing one another.

More importantly, UKYDS carries a deeper message.

It is serving as an emotional bridge for anyone dealing with grief or the pain of never getting to say what they needed to say to someone who’s no longer around.

They hope the song becomes a source of comfort and a bold start for future collaborations.

The new single “Untuk Kau yang Di Sana (UKYDS)” by for Revenge and Stand Here Alone is now available on all major digital streaming platforms.
