In 2009, Samsons released their third self-titled album, SAMSONS. The album was produced in Aquarius Studio, Jakarta and recorded using the analog system.

In 2013, they released their fourth album Perihal Besar, featured the hit ballad "Di Ujung Jalan". This album is a debut for the new frontman, Ariadinata, who joined Samsons in 2012 after the first vocalist, Bams, decided to split from the band in the late 2010.

In late 2016, Samsons released their single, I Love You. The song is an opening single from their upcoming fifth album. The song was inspired from the birth moment of Irfan Aulia's daughter. In this song, Irfan talks about the feelings of love at first sight, from the view of a father to his daughter. Not leaving their trademark in music, in this song Samsons back with an epic orchestral arrangements. This time, they had the opportunity to work together with the Budapest Scoring Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra consist a 55-member classical musician based in Budapest, who plays an orchestra arrangement written by Irfan himself.

In 2017, Samsons returns with their single, "Cinta Mati". This song is a ballad song with the theme of love, which also became a part of their upcoming fifth album. The song is written by Irfan Aulia in 2012. Before performed by Samsons, Cinta Mati was sung by Marcell Siahaan in 2015. Samsons performed this song with a new arrangement and with one of their musical trademarks, which is orchestra. Just like in I Love You, in Cinta Mati they are still working with Budapest Scoring Symphony Orchestra. They picked up 55 best orchestra players in Budapest consisting of 40 strings players, 7 woodwinds players, 7 brass players, 1 percussionist who used to make scoring for Hollywood movies.

The sound of the orchestra is not something new in Samsons music because in 2007 on the album Penantian Hidup, Samsons was working with the Sydney Philharmonic Orchestra.
